The hotel is in a very quiet residential area, 10-15 minutes walk from the centre of Winchester (the only noise was the occasional train going past, that didn't bother us). We were given a very warm welcome and all the information we needed to get around the town (map, list of restaurants, etc.). We had originally intended to stay for... more

From my first telephone call to the moment we left this stay was a real pleasure. The owners have balanced the need for a high standard of accommodation and service whilst still maintaining a personal touch. Everything is spotless and the accommodation is as good as any 4/5* hotel we have ever stayed in. Breakfast was superb. The walk into... more

We stayed at Giffard House for two nights over May Bank Holiday. Excellent B&B which was spotlessly clean, well maintained and with very welcoming staff. The standards are better than a lot of hotels and the rooms are very comfortable with all amenities that could possibly be required. The breakfast are well cooked and presented in a very pleasant dining... more

Stayed for 1 night for our wedding anniversary. We chose the kingsize - well worth the small extra for a lovely bath! Gorgeous room, very comfortable and spotless! Excellent breakfast. All made us feel very welcome. Short walk into Winchester and we were advised of the partial prettier route alongside the flint wall which takes you to the Cathedral -... more

My husband and I recently visited Winchester and were thinking of staying at the local branch of a well-known upmarket hotel chain (who don’t include breakfast in their rate) but decided to try Giffard House instead as it appeared to offer much better value. It is in a lovely, tranquil location (apart from the trains passing which we hardly noticed)... more

The Giffard House hotel is where I would recommend going to when looking for a comfortable and beautiful stay somewhere around Winchester. Work has me stay in a lot of hotels, the giffard is by far the coziest and beautiful hotel I've stayed in. Peter and Yvonne (the owners) and their staff are wonderful and most helpful people! more

Having read the reviews, we were expecting very high standards - we were not disappointed. Couldn't fault it in any way. We too had a room at the back of the house and yes we could see the trains but they did not disturb us at all during the night. Wished we could have stayed longer to take advantage of... more
