We stayed at the Hotel du Vin as a surprise for my birthday. We were in the main house (very grand) in Courvoisier which overlooks the walled garden. It was very light, bright and airy with a roll top bath at the end of the bed. A huge bed, all the bits and pieces you might want (including an embarassing amount of toiletries which you are encouraged to take away with you), a seperate loo and a separate shower which was wonderful too!
We had dinner in the bistro and whilst they were a bit late serving us the meal was faultless and the wine list extensive.

All in all a great hotel, the staff were friendly, particuarily at breakfast the next day, all went to plan and we couldn't be happier. Great location and parking too! I hope to stay in a few more HdV's in the future.
Highly recommended.

Hotel du Vin is in a great location near the historic centre of Winchester. I stayed there regularly in 2006 and each time the rooms were of impeccable standard with fantastic beds bathrooms and wines.

The rooms in the annexe were the quietest, Concha y Torro, but lacked the grand town house feel of the main building. Can't recommend this establishment enough.

My husband and I stayed at the Hotel du Vin for a night in August as part of my husband's 40th birthday celebrations. We had a garden room, the Geoff Merrell, that was very elegant with our own small patio and all of the comforts that you would expect from a nice hotel. The staff were very friendly, helpful and attentive. We ate in the bistro and the meal was fantastic, one of the best that I have had. The sommelier was great, recommending a perfect and not too expensive wine. Nothing seemed too much trouble for all of the staff at the bistro and the hotel and I would definitely recommend the hotel du vin both for a stay or for an elegant meal.

Had lunch here with friends in April and it was great.

Staff were very attentive and helpful without being pushy. We were a little apprehensive having a baby with us but they took it all in their stride and brought his food out straight away to give him as much chance as possible to throw/wear it.

We got a nice big table in the middle of the room.

Wine waiter had a ridiculous french accent which we all thought was put on and he gave us some great advice. At one point I wanted to ask him if he'd any idea of the whereabouts of 'The Fallen Maddona with the Big Boobies".

Steaks were cooked properly and served nicely. Deserts delicious.

Parking was no problem and signs all around explain the position. It should be noted this is an old building converted into a hotel in the middle of an ancient town. Parking is at a premium all over the town.

All in all a great meal with good friends.
