We enjoyed our stay. The hotel is situated in the centre of Winchester yet has a beautiful walled garden where you can eat or relax with a drink. The staff were extremely friendly and very courteous. All requests were dealt with a professional manner. We had a charming, spacious room that was extremely clean and had everything you needed.

Perfect for a stay in the centre of Winchester. Comfortable beds, nice rooms and bathroom. Staff were great, very helpful and the overnight carpark fee covers you until checkout. The bar was comfortable and had great recommendations too. Good value for money with a little feel of luxury. Have stayed here twice now and not been disappointed.
