The room was beautiful and the food was delicious.😊

Cons:

We stayed in a deluxe double room. The room was beautifully decorated, but the bed made noise when you moved, which made it difficult to sleep soundly.

Pros:

The best location in Winchester just a stones throw from the cathedral and a short walk to the centre for shops and restaurants. The room was great, opposite the pub and overlooking the street. Everything was fine aside from the shower was very weak. Breakfast was delicious.

Cons:

Just the shower, was very poor pressure.
