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.

This property is over 300 hundred years old! It is a treasure and has AMAZING character. Don’t expect ultra modern conveniences because owners are limited in what can be changed in historic properties, St John’s Croft is a quintessential old English home to be appreciated. Our room was bright and beds and linens were fluffy and cozy. Bathroom was two steps outside of our room. Five minute walk down the hill into Winchester. Nick and Dottie are wonderful hosts. Would stay here again.

The property is a bread and breakfast and family owned. The room was large and the bed comfortable. We were able to walk all around Winchester and see the sites while parking our car at the B&B. Very good breakfast.

Truly stunning property, rustic, wonderfully decorated with love. Spacious, good parking and central location. It won’t suit everybody. My room only had a bath, my private washroom was down a corridor which made my mid-sleep loo break awkward. Plus it was impractical. A working stay for me which meant I had to go out to work as the WiFi was so weak. Breakfast 8:30 or 9:30am didn’t work as I was gone by 7:45am, although a grab and go was offered instead. Being so old, noise from doors closing and floorboard footsteps wasn’t great, although should be expected I guess in such an old place. I saw lots of great reviews and I see why, but for my personal criteria it was not a good choice.
