This was the only available B&B during the Christmas Market and was close to the centre ( 10 mins walk). We were warned that breakfast would be porridge or eggs on booking, so were prepared for the basic breakfast. Ecclectic may begin to describe the bedroom, although it has the potential to be more inviting. Wardrobes had the owners clothes... More

As stated good size rooms but felt like I had gone back in time to the 70s. Dirty bathroom and just general clutter. The landlady was very rude and when I asked for a iron she tutted at me!! Good location and I know for next time!!

I am not usually one to comment on accommodation websites but since I had such a welcoming and accommodating stay here I have to add my recommendation, albeit rather late! I spent two weeks in Winchester working on a project in The Discovery Centre in October and found the B&B here to be exactly what I needed. Balanced and welcoming... More

This place was exactly what I was looking for in Winchester: very close to everything that was on my list of places to visit and is likely to feature on anyone's elses. The owner offered help with navigating arond the town, pointing to all possible shortcuts and giving very helpful suggestions. Despite the fact that I arrived very late we... More

We booked some time ago for a St. Valetines weekend. After seeing the adverse review we decided to give it a go anyway. What a pleasant surprise. The room was clean comfortable and unpretentious just our style. Service and welcome was friendly and excellent. The view over St. Catnerines was magical as the sun came up. Breakfast was excellent with... More

I stayed a week in this B & b whilst working in winchester because of its convenience and the free off street parking saving the horrors of city traffic and pollution. The owner was friendly and obliging. My room was large and not pretentious allowing me to use my lap top on the broad band. Breakfast was "Healthy" and provided... More

For anyone looking for the traditional British bed and breakfast experience, then this is not the place for you. This establishment is best described as a ‘home stay’ where the kids have moved out of their rooms and the guests move in. A fair degree of artistic licence has been used in relation to their web site. The rooms were... More

Had two instances of incredible rudeness by owner re checking in time and her reaction to the wind blowing our door closed and locking us out of the room. Within an hour we had found another lovely B&B. Room had a strange smell and owners possessions were in some of the cupboards, and although a full English breakfast is advertised,... More

We felt like we were imposing on a rather scary landlady! Shared bathroom (with 2 other rooms) with dirty floor, pubic hair in bath and on the floor. Cluttered, small and dingy bedroom with curtains that were almost falling down. So-called "continental breakfast" - no other option offered - which included stale cereal, toast and rancid butter. We were not... More
