A really enjoyable two night stay in this excellent hotel. The room was clean, and the bed comfortable. The breakfasts were among the best I have experienced ... plenty of choice and very tasty (real honey!). The evening meal was also very good. Staff were helpful and friendly and the car parking was no problem. I highly recommend this hotel and will gladly stay there again. We even met Bob Mortimer, Paul Whitehouse and their dog Ted!

A delightful hotel. Our room was very spacious and comfortable. The food was delicious. Loved hanging out in the courtyard for an evening nightcap. Very conveniently located in Winchester. Enjoyed all the history behind the hotel and Winchester is a fascinating town.

Very nice old hotel with lots of history, Comfortable bed and lots of hot water in the bathroom The shower is in a high sided bath but it works ok if you can manage stepping into the bath. There are a few steps to encounter in the hotel No brochers on local attractions are provided in the hotel. The available breakfast is comprehensive and very good. Looks like a great place for weddings in the very nice garden.

Great hotel literally yards from the high street but set on a really quiet road. Staff were all super helpful and it has a great bar and garden where you can sit and chill after a busy day sightseeing. Theres two carparks at this hotel which although you have to pay for, are superb and super convenient. Beds are big & comfy and i wouldn't hesitate in using this hotel again.

A really nice hotel and we had a lovely freshly decorated and very large room (Jane Austen suite). Also a great location with a beautiful garden. But rather let down by a lack of readiness on the part of the staff. Bar without nuts or the right glasses. And, worse insufficient tables for breakfast for which a queue formed. We went elsewhere (The Ivy) which was probably a good choice. But would still return. Just hope they sharpen up their act.

Beds were comfortable and the room was well furnished, clean and pleasant. It would have been nice to have decaffeinated tea bags available, as my partner doesn't drink caffeine. But the big disappointment is having to pay for car parking even overnight. We noted that many car parks in Winchester were free on Sundays. I did know about this prior to booking. Also taking a £50 deposit showed a lack of trust in customers. I think the car parking charges are unpopular with the hotel's customers.
