Tastefully and beautifully furnished, this is a stunning home and the owner Mike was so great to deal with. The kitchen is particularly well equipped -name any gadget and you’ll find it here, along with a couple of surprises in the fridge! The patio is particularly attractive with a table and chairs, and there is a small pretty garden with a bench in a sunny spot. The bedding is of a very high quality and extremely comfortable. My favourite room was probably the study which has attractive furniture, books to browse and another little surprise. But I won’t tell you what it is…you must go and see for yourself!

Set in a former Brewery workers cottage built by Lord Northbrook in 1843, Hang Your Hat is located in Winchester and offers accommodations with a private courtyard garden, free WiFi and a log fireplace. Winchester city center is a 5-minute walk from the holiday home and features a historic cathedral and award-winning restaurants and pubs nestled within the oldest high street in England. Guests will benefit from a suite with 600-thread Egyptian cotton linen, a Hammam style steam room with scented candles, and Sky TV channels. Additional features include a fully furnished kitchen, iPod speaker and a wide selection of DVDs. The private courtyard features stone cut over 1000 years ago; part of a mullioned window of Hyde Abbey, the resting place of King Alfred The Great, whose bones are now thought to be buried in the local churchyard of St Bartholomew's. Breakfast is available at one of several local venues recommended by the owner. The nearest airport is Southampton, located 20 minutes' drive from the property.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.9 for a two-person trip.

Styled for visitors seeking a stylish or romantic bolthole, a place to enjoy some relaxation time and from where to visit the delights of Winchester. Perfect for the traveler who wants to relax and chill at the end of the day, a book by a log fire, a glass of wine, or watch the sun go down in the courtyard garden. It's just a short walk to the centre of the city with its award winning restaurants and pubs, nestled around the oldest High Street in England. Close by you have the Cathedral and beautiful walks through the Water Meadows where Keats was inspired to write 'Ode To Autumn'. You have space for dining and for entertaining colleagues and friends, there is a fully equipped kitchen to simply do your own thing, or should you wish our caterers can make any arrangements you need. There is a candle lit steam room to indulge in, gentle underfloor heating with oak and limestone floors, art on the walls, fine linen and robes in the bathroom, a Jetmaster open fire with seasoned logs supplied. There is Wi-Fi for your laptop, or should you wish entertainment with Sky (all the movie and sports channels), a comprehensive DVD collection, and a fine malt in the study.
I am a scientist working part time at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London. I have stayed in villas, cottages, hotels and apartments in some diverse places. For me, it is how a place makes you feel when you walk in, explore it and stay a while. Hang Your Hat is like a warm embrace, welcoming and friendly. Well equipped and cared for. Just what I would have liked to have found in the many places I have stayed around the UK and abroad. It provides this in an honest and unpretentious manner.. a place to simply Hang My Hat.
I love old buildings, they have a character and charm, a patina of history, that you cannot just create. It is a beautiful brick and flint brewery workers cottage built in the early years of Queen Victoria's reign, 1843. For a small cottage it has a tremendous sense of space with a magical courtyard garden. It is in a quiet street in one of the oldest parishes of the city and yet just a short walk into the centre of town. Even nearer are two great pubs The Hyde Tavern and Mucky Duck, fantastic walks, a Theatre, a Library and the train station to London. It ticked all the boxes. Somewhere to feel at home.
