Great location, with parking. Easy walk to the centre with good local pub Queen Inn a short walk away.Lovely walks and cycling, did not need to use our vehicle all week.Recommended place to stay in Winchester.
My wife and I and another couple loved staying at Mallard Cottage. The bedrooms and bathrooms were a good size and the laundry with a clothes dryer was really appreciated. The living area enjoyed floor to ceiling glass looking out on a sunny, relaxing garden which sloped down to the fast flowing river. It was a short walk in to the centre of the city. Hosts, David and Deepti, were welcoming and very helpful. I highly recommend this cottage to others.

Great apartment and location with such kind hosts - who are helpful if you need anything but also unobtrusive. Their garden- and Winchester in general- is glorious in the fall.

Mallard Cottage was absolutely beautiful.
Mallard Cottage was absolutely beautiful. Really thoughtfully decorated and every possible need considered. Very handy parking right outside and a gorgeous garden at the back. It was very cosy and David was keen to check we had everything we needed without being intrusive. The location is very convenient with the city centre only a short walk away including the cathedral and lots of restaurants and great shops. We would highly recommend this gorgeous cottage.
Outstanding luxurious accommodation within a short walk of Winchester.
My friend and I spent a fabulous 3 days in this truly stunning cottage. David and Deepti really have thought of everything to make for a magical stay. The quality of the furnishings and decor is second to none. So stylish and comfortable. Added to which the access to their beautiful gardens leading down to the river was the icing on the cake. Would highly recommend to anyone.
