What a beautiful hotel. Our rooms were incredibly comfortable and quiet, as I had asked for. The garden at the back is lovely and there are plenty places within the hotel to sit and relax. Very comfortable. We will come again.

Not worth £30+ per night. (Paid £140)
1. Had to shower in my own filth as shower would not drain 2. Flushing the toilet was a hit and miss as it would probably work once in 5 attempts 3. Carpets throughout the hotel either need replacing or a thorough clean. 4. The interior looks dated

We stayed here 7 years ago and thought it was exceptional. It does not seem that much has been done since. Consequently the carpeting was really old, the mattress uncomfortable and the restaurant service seriously understaffed.

An average hotel. Great location, lovely garden. Room dated and no thought for design. Bit mouldy around the shower door. Minimal basic toiletries. Reception staff formulaic, no warm welcome.

Friday overnight stay
Overnight stay for my mothers 86th birthday, was lucky enough to have an early check in and I was relieved that there were spaces in the on-site car park . We had a very pleasant room on the ground floor overlooking the garden. Breakfast was excellent, very fresh and plenty of choice.Staff were very friendly . The garden is really lovely , peaceful with plenty of chairs. All in all we both had a wonderful short stay and the hotel’s proximity to the high street was an added bonus.

Perfect location
We stayed for one night (Saturday) while meeting up with friends in Winchester. We only needed a room and breakfast so did not experience much else of the hotel. Firstly, the location is fantastic as it is only a 30 second walk to the high street, but also on a quiet road. Parking was pretty easy, although it was busy and we got the last available space. We checked ahead to make sure we could drop our bags off early before checking in. After being told that would be fine it was a bit frustrating to be told on the day that there was no room and we would need to leave our bags in our car until it was time to check in. But in the scheme of things, this is a minor gripe. Check in was nice and easy and the room was pretty good - it was a nice size, good view over the garden, comfortable and clean. The breakfast was buffet style and suffered the expected problem; food was dry and eggs barely edible unless timed for when they came out fresh. There was one coffee machine which meant there was a queue to get a drink. But it was reasonably priced, ok quality and set us up for the day. Overall, the hotel is perfect for a weekend in Winchester city centre. We will definitely come back again.

Short leisure break, so needed somewhere convenient and flexible. This is a traditional hotel, but is ideal for such breaks, centrally located and with parking. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the staff friendly.
