A definite jewel in the crown of Winchester ......
Pros:

Room was delightful although a little bit noisy early with deliveries but hey ho it is a city. We have known the Wykeham for years and it really doesn't disappoint. The pub is just fabulously relaxed and the fire was going so the ambience was spot on. The food at dinner was exceptional as too was the breakfast selection and the staff were a joy all were friendly, helpful and lovely to deal with. We came with a friend who also loved her stay and we are all looking forward to returning in the not too distant.

An unexpected find for a wonderful short break.
Pros:

We loved everything about the Wykeham!
This is one of the best one night visits I've had anywhere, for many reasons.
The staff were incredibly professional and welcoming, nothing was too much bother for any of them.
Breakfast was varied, fresh and beautifully presented. The restaurant was relaxed and low key with a delicious menu.
The rooms (single and small) shouted quality and comfort and had everything needed for a short stay.
No music or tv in the bar - brilliant! A busy local that also welcomed visitors, with wood fires and fascinating wall decorations.
We loved it and will definitely return.

Cons:

Nothing - it was a surprising gem
