We enjoyed the enthusiasm of the young staff. Max and Bailey were especially helpful and friendly with parking, help with luggage and general good humour. We thought the meals were delicious:- 4 breakfasts, 2 dinners and 1 lunchtime snack. The breakfast omelettes were delicious. Our room was great, comfortable, we liked the traditional furnishings, it was warm and the beds were so comfy. We came on a recommendation and will advise friends that it’s the place to stay in Winchester. We liked the tiny milk bottles in our fridge, so much nicer than nasty plastic cartons. We appreciated the central location as we didn’t need to use the car.

A shower grab rail would have been helpful and 2 pegs rather than one for our bathrobes would be good,

Friendly and helpful staff added our car registration into the data base to enable parking for our visit. Escorted and carried the main case to our room. Location perfect as was breakfast. We also dined in as the Old Vine looked clean and atmospheric. We would definitely visit again

Comfort of the bed could have been a little better, due to the age of the property one felt the head of the bed was sloping back a little. I would have preferred larger cups for tea and coffee, but realise this is a detail which is a personal one. Otherwise a lovely place to stay

From the moment we arrived we were treated exceptionally well. Our bags were taken up to our room whilst we went to park in the permitted areas. The room was very spacious and perfect for our needs. The breakfast that was pre-ordered each night was brought to our room at exactly the time requested, piping hot and everything ordered delivered. The location of the hotel to enable exploration of Winchester could not have been better and despite being in a town centre the room we stayed in "Nina Campbell" was extremely peaceful.

Nothing at alll would have made our stay anymore enjoyable no complaints at all.

Staff lovely. Pub great .Stayed in the Annexe, we were family of four very comfortable and housekeeping was really good . Had a parking permit, which was fab . Breakfast is great and recommended, and the location is just the best ever. Would I book again? Yes, definitely. It's a lovely place to visit.

We had the Annexe. It is a really nice setup .Unfortunately, there was still some building work going on. The views had been blocked with the scaffolding, and it was noisy during the day .This is the one and only thing we did not like . Ashton listened to us and sorted out our complaint, and we are happy with the outcome . Thankyou

The room is very comfortable, well equipped with every necessity and clean. One can also find dressing gowns and bedside slippers, tea/coffee tray , biscuits..etc. And finding a Bible in the drawer was very heart warming. The 2 guys who helped us with the luggage are super friendly and very polite. Sorry I forgot your names but we cannot thank you enough for your patience and help. Breakfast was very good too served by a very polite young lady.

I suggest a guest would feel much comfortable if he/she is dealt with from behind a desk, than having to shout over the bar while the server is trying to keep up with mixing drinks and helping someone to check in or have a slight issue. If you are thinking of an early night because you need to leave in the morning, forget it, the noise from the bar is too overwhelming even with ear plugs. Plus the kettle in my room was overdue for a descaling. Sorry if I was a little bit negative here, you do have a great place, please take note and identify the issues which need attention. Thank you.

The hotel location was excellent. Although there isn't any parking, the hotel were able to provide a road permit and we parked easily. The room was a great size and very well equipped. As you would expect in a old style building there is some noise from other rooms but it didn't bother us too much. We were made to feel very welcome and everything was very well organised. The breakfast was of a high standard and plenty of choice. Overall we had a lovely stay and would use the hotel again.

The central location just made the parking a little difficult but the hotel made every effort to make it as easy as possible. We could have been more prepared and dropped our bags off before parking but we will know that in future.

Lots of space in the apartment, with everything you could need supplied (apart from a bar of soap). Minor problems speedily fixed. Central location close to restaurants, shops and tourist sites. Big breakfast choice.

It was more like staying at a B&B than a hotel, particularly as we were in an Annex. Very creaky floorboards of the apartment. Staff are mainly students and there did not appear to be one person in charge. On our first night we went to dinner at 19.50 to be told that the kitchen would close in ten minutes.

What a beautiful hotel in a stunning location. All of the staff were super friendly. Our room was magnificent and included all the accessories and ornaments that made you feel like home, even as far as having a plant in the bathroom. We were walking distance from everything and right across the park from the abbey.

We booked this hotel for parking and we were given a residents parking voucher to use for street parking. Unfortunately there was no parking available so we had to park in the public car park about an 8 minute walk away. This however would not deter me from staying here again.

We particularly enjoyed the combination of busy historic inn/restaurant with boutique hotel rooms in a central location opposite the cathedral. The vibe was informal and relaxed but, at the same time, busy. The room was spacious, comfortable, and very quiet. Staff were friendly and enthusiastic.

Given the property's prime position within Winchester's city centre, we were not surprised to find parking was on the street (using a free timed permit). This only became an issue for us when moving luggage to and from the car.

The Old Vine stands on a narrow traffic-free street on the other side of the spacious green with mature trees in front of Winchester Cathedral. It is only a few paces from the pedestrian-only High Street, which is exceptionally well-endowed with restaurants, cafes and shops. Our room on the first floor was large and well-furnished with a spacious bathroom en suite. Staff members were always friendly, helpful and efficient. The restaurant/bar served a generous breakfast of varied choices and very good quality meals in the evening and throughout the day. It was an exceptional place to stay in an equally exceptional location.

Parking is Winchester is challenging. The Old Vine issues a permit to park in any of several narrow streets nearby. We were grateful for this and always managed to find the one space remaining. This is not really a 'didn't like', more a 'making the best of an unavoidable situation'.
