Great location. Fair experience.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Limited, difficult access. Very limited parking. Staff was a bit chaotic and disorganized on our arrival. Attempting to work bar, restaurant and check in simultaneously. Too few people.

Comfortable rooms, great staff, good food, in the heart of beautiful Winchester.
Pros:

The breakfast served to our group was lovely. Nothing was too much trouble. It was an absolute pleasure to meet each morning and be greeted by good food and friendly service.

Cons:

There was nothing really. Having worked in hospitality ourselves for over 30 years ( Clefs d’Or Concierge/Chef), we know what to look for.

Perfect location, comfortable stay
Pros:

Free breakfast was great, however, more vegan/gluten free options would be appreciated. Location was perfect, just outside the Cathedral. In the center of the City but still quiet. Provisions in the premises were excellent and daily housekeeping was not expected.

Cons:

The front door was quite annoying to lock.

Excellent, great breakfast like no other, super courteous and helpful staff.
Pros:

Breakfast is excellent, very, very good! Staff are very courteous, friendly & helpful. Location is excellent right at the tiny square across the cathedral grounds. We really love staying in that area.

Cons:

I can’t I didn’t like Old Vine. It was just a bit noisy in the evening or bedtime because of other guests, not necessarily the hotel itself.

Bradley and the team were outstanding. From the warm welcome to the care taken in providing the facilities in the room.
Pros:

Everything had been thought of for an excellent stay. Nothing was overlooked.

Cons:

My only personal choice would be slightly firmer pillows but that did not detract from our stay.
