We liked everything. Esme’s is located in the center of Winchester, but on a quiet street, and Esme herself is the best of hosts.

Esme was welcoming and caring. Really a lovely host and willing to do anything to insure we were comfortable and taken care of. When we checked out, I accidentally left my wallet in the room. Esme went above and beyond to get the wallet to me, by driving from Winchester to Southampton Cruise Terminal and finding us before we boarded the Queen Mary. Now that is true commitment. We can’t thank Esme enough… Mark & Linda

Could not fault a thing.

Everything was absolutely perfect, and exceeded our expectations. From Esme's wonderful welcome, to the extremely well equipped room, and all the extra touches that made our 2-night stay very special. The bed is super comfortable, and the shower excellent. Although breakfast is not provided, there is a pod coffee machine, kettle and plenty of tea/coffee options plus a wicked tin of shortbread. And we loved the tiny decanter of port for a late night tipple! Location could not be better; just a short stroll down Parchment St to the main pedestrian area, with many independent shops, cafes and restaurants to explore.

Nothing, it’s perfect

Perfectly placed a short walk from the city centre but still quiet and residential. We didn’t use our car all weekend. The room is beautiful and Esmé has thought of everything you might need to make for a relaxing stay. Very comfortable bed and a shower to die for. Esmé is the best host, so warm and friendly. We just loved our stay and would return in a heartbeat.

Parking was on-street. The road was very narrow and I got my wing mirror knocked off !! Come by train if you can like my daughter did.

Lovely cosy room in an excellent location- everywhere was walkable from here. Host left us teas/coffee/snacks and every toiletry item anyone might need! She was really welcoming and helpful.

Nothing to dislike

Fabulous ground floor room in a house in a quiet residential street but so close to city centre and railway station. Esme is an amazing host and really looks after her guests.

No negatives.

It is very close to the downtown area of Winchester and close to the train station. Five minute walks. Beautifully maintained, and Esme is a superb host. So comfortable. We will definitely us it again for our regular visits to Winchester.

A bit of an issue with the plumbing, but that was beyond the control of the owner and no reflection on her. Otherwise no problems.

A tastefully decorated room with everything you could possibly need. Welcoming, comfortable, clean and easy. Exceptionally friendly and attentive owner, who stayed in touch during my stay and was very helpful. A few minutes' walk from the city centre, yet still quiet and unaffected by noise.

No dislikes. All good.

So friendly and accommodating. We loved our stay there and would go back over and over if we lived in England. The bed was so comfortable, the bathroom and shower were great, clean and everything thought of. The whole room is so well thought out, beautifully decorated and designed for the comfort of the guest. We just loved it. We were directed to the most wonderful pubs and local sites by the owner. Making our visit top notch.

Beautifully decorated room with lots of unique features. Esme's is very close to town, you can access all the tourist spots in Winchester very easily. Would thoroughly recommend.

Nothing! I hope to visit again!

Our stay at Esme's was exceptional. The location was just a skip and a hop away from the train station – tucked away on a quiet side street but within a short walk to all the sites, shops and cafes. The room was immaculate and very comfortable. Esme is so kind and responsive, and the room is filled with unexpected (but much appreciated) extras!

Stayed in March 2023

Easier parking would be beneficial. But could easily park couple of streets away and Esme gave us a parking voucher

Location was great all walking distance. Esme was very welcoming and helpful and extremely friendly

Esme is a fantastic host. She made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The location could not be better to explore beautiful Winchester. It is central to the town and places of interest with free parking available which is always a bonus. Esme provided great facilities with a coffee maker, selection of reas, hot chocolate, biacuits, chocolates, fridge, fresh milk etc. Not forgetting the port provided which was a welcome night cap. The bed was extremely comfortable with lovely quality bed linen. The large shower was powerful with plenty of hot water to warm ouraelves after a particularly cold spell in December. Thank you again for the warm welcome and we cannot wait to return next year. Wishing Esme a merry christmas and happy new year.
