WOW what a fantastic place to stay. A lovely place and not far in a taxi to and from the main part of Winchester.

Angela United Kingdom

Pleasant atmosphere. Good food and beer :-) Special room, split floor

Mogens Denmark

Adorable town, hotel with personality, delicious supper and breakfast. Great location close to Winchester yet in a small village setting.

Leah United States of America

The location, rooms and food were wonderful. The staff was superior.

Robert United States of America

The breakfast was excellent, and the staff were friendly.

Brian Switzerland

Very easy check in. As it was during lockdown there was no breakfast provided but I was given cutlery and a plate for my takeaway. Lovely apartment and decor.

Roxanne United Kingdom

Apartment was clean and tidy. The food was excellent. Staff were all brilliant.

Heather United Kingdom

I liked the fact the room had a ‘lounge’ area, and upstairs sleeping. There’s plenty of parking. The pub is available for food. Towels, toiletries and tea/coffee are provided

Justine United Kingdom

We booked at the last minute on the day - arrived three hours later and they were ready for us. This is a pub with 2 separate rooms two rent away accessed through a joint entrance off the car park. Clean and warm. The breakfast was a nice addition so good value for money.

Tony United Kingdom

Location great for what we needed on an overnight stop for the ferry port at Portsmouth. Easy to find and not too far off motorway. Pub and restaurant were really with some nice beer and home cooked food.
