A delightful friendly hotel in the heart of the City.
Pros:

A lovely intimate Hotel in the heart of Winchester. We came to visit and worship at the Cathedral and we could not have been closer. The room at the top of the hotel was a lovely comfortable suite. The staff could not have been more helpful. Breakfasts were a treat and Sunday Lunch a delight.

Cons:

Some of the fittings in the bathroom were loose. We fell lucky with parking but I can imagine it could be a problem. (I also thought the staff went out of their way to help us get sorted including taking our luggage from the car to the room whilst we looked for a space)

A very pleasant stay with warm and friendly atmosphere - Will definitely come again
Pros:

Our room was spacious and homely - we were welcomed on arrival with such friendliness and were fortunate to be able to check into our room earlier than expected - the bathroom was gorgeous as well

Cons:

Our room was at the back of the hotel which unfortunately meant we were awakened at 1am
by loud revellers out in the street below - then again early in the morning by loud thumps and bangs whilst deliveries were made to the restaurant and bar

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Old Vine in Winchester especially the cathedral.
Pros:

Breakfast was very good and varied.
Excellent welcome from staff, especially Bradley who welcomed everyone with a smile and had a great personality.

Cons:

Nothing really, except the yogurt at breakfast was extremely thick, like clotted cream. A much lighter one would be much nicer.

Excellent breakfast with very helpful staff
