Dotty was at the property when we arrived and showed us our rooms. The rooms were lovely, big and had everything that was needed, hairdryer and robes included. The shower room was big, had toiletries and the towels were nice and fluffy. The whole building was fantastic and is a lovely home. Dotty was very informative and friendly making you feel like part of the family. The property was only a short walk from town and has parking. The breakfast in the morning was delicious and set us up for the day. I would definitely recommend this property and will definitely stay again.

The house is superb and location fantastic and owners very pleasant. The room was large and comfortable but what made our stay less comfortable was the fact that the room contained only a bath with no shower attachment. At my age with bad knees getting in and out of a bath is very difficult. The toilet (for our use only) was along the corridor from our room, again not at all convenient! Maybe I missed these facts when booking but en-suite facilities are the minimum I expect when booking nights away

Very neat and tidy bedroom, warm & friendly welcome, excellent location for Winchester centre, only a 5 minute walk. St Johns Croft has a lovely quirky ambience, the whole place smells of lovely old timber, gardens are delightful, the breakfast wholesome, much of it locally sourced. All served with a smile and friendly chat from the hostess, Dotty

A lovely place to stay - home from home.

Really enjoyed our stay. Very friendly hosts and liked the accommodation very much. Only drawback was that the wifi connection in my room was unreliable but I think the hosts plan to get that fixed. Really enjoyed the cosy informality. Definitely plan to return.

A lovely stay

St John's an amazing house with a quirky interior and a beautiful garden. Our room was very clean and comfy and the shower excellent. The breakfast at the communal table provided an excellent conversation with the other guests and the breakfast was very good. There was parking for the car and the location is very central, thoroughly recommended.
