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 one night, but liked it so much we decided to stay for two (using Winchester as a base to explore the surrounding countryside) - that meant we had to change rooms, but that was no problem (they transferred our luggage for us while we were out). So the three of us saw four different rooms (a double and a single each night) - they were all very comfortable and beautifully furnished (as was the lounge). Breakfast was very good too. All in all we can recommend this hotel unreservedly.

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 Winchester takes about 10 minutes and there is a wide choice of restaurants.

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 room. It was a short walk into Winchester, which is beautiful, and we found two and half days plenty of time to exlore the area and the recommended tourist areas. We would gladly stay at Giffard House if we were to return to Winchester.

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 - stopped at The Old Vine for lunch - excellent.
Would recommend Giffard House Hotel to anyone - excellent value!
