Great hotel and great staff.

Weather was good on our first day and we got use of the garden area for drinks and snacks. The room was very comfortable and clean and the service was great. We had booked the Wednesday night and then decided to book additionally night on the Tuesday so we could see around Winchester and we are glad we did. The hotel reception managed to leave us in the same garden vie room rather than moving to the Feature double room. Although this room was bigger and more facilities within the room we were happy to stay within the room we were in. So the staff were very accommodating and very helpful. Would recommend this hotel for its staff and its location. John McLelland

Really nice, spacious rooms. We stayed with our 2 small children and there was enough room for all of us. The location is perfect - very central but on a quiet street. The best feature of the hotel is the garden seating. Eating outside there is very special indeed. My only complaint is the charge of 15 pound for parking! I've never stayed at a hotel before and been charged for parking. And when I was shocked at the cost the receptionist rolled her eyes at me, as though I was the one being unreasonable for even questioning it (I was merely surprised and was very polite, so there was no need for her reaction). In general though the staff were very nice and acommodating.

We weren’t advised about the outdoor film showing in the garden outside our room until 11:45pm. This prevented us from sleeping. Also there are 2 car parks which I wasn’t told about. We couldn’t park one night and had to find another car park. Staff were apologetic and offered a partial refund which we accepted. Could have been avoided if we were put in a suitable room.

Perfect location. We didn’t eat at the hotel so can’t comment. The staff were pleasant and efficient. The garden area is beautiful with plenty of seating. The only thing was that the room was so hot. A fan was provided but luckily I’d also taken my own. The windows don’t open far for security.
