Absolutely first-class! Super suite with lovely old features and a huge 4-post bed. No charge for a cooked breakfast delivered to our room which was superb. Excellent tea and coffee and fresh juice. A real treat.

Me and my wife loved our stay here. We came for the Christmas market and this was the perfect location with just a couple of minuets walk. Our room was amazing and had everything we needed and more, the staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast was beautiful, one of the best breakfasts we've had and having it served in our room was and very nice touch. We'll be visiting again.

This was a beautiful historic property. Literally right next door to the Cathedral and the market / shopping and tons of restaurants and cafes. Very large rooms for Europe with sitting areas, coffees, tees and non alcoholic drinks stocked in fridge. No lift available for hauling luggage but staff was great to help if needed. Beds a little on the firm side but lovely linens. Breakfast included and restaurant quite delicious. Would definitely rebook here. Easy access for Uber as well!

Enjoyable stay, wonderful big room. Great location

Another good stay at the Old Vine. Warm welcome, great room and breakfast included. So close to Cathedral, shops, places to eat. I wish they had a car park, as parking permit is only available from 3pm.

Delightful Winchester stopover

A great place for a relaxing visit to this beautiful city of Winchester. Our large top floor room had lovely views across the Cathedral and town. So central, yet so peaceful. Walkable to just about anywhere here,including the railway station. A quaint old pub, with great accommodation and a very hearty breakfast included. Room facilities are excellent. Would recommend attending an Evensong service at the Cathedral… a great and spiritual experience, which doubles as an opportunity to explore this ancient Gothic masterpiece. We did this, with a bonus of a recital on the famous “Father Willis” organ.
