Firstly, the staff, Laura and Bailey were very inviting, naturally friendly, full of life and welcoming. Secondly, excellent room, location, and coziness of the bar, dining lounge area. And thirdly, the legendary breakfast did not disappoint. And our lamb casserole at lunch was a taste sensation…

We really enjoyed our stay at the Old Vine. The staff went out of their way to accommodate us as we came in quite late. They helped us with parking and we found our room well stocked with everything you could possibly need on vacation! They even brought our breakfast at our room so we could, continue on our travels quickly. Our room was quite large and very comfortable!

One of the most spacious, comfortable, and well appointed rooms we have stayed at. While in an historic Inn, the room was large and pleasant. Literally steps from the Cathedral and most historic points of interest, food and shopping. The dinner was also of exceptional quality.

Historic Charm, Central Comfort-Just Mind the Park

Pros Excellent central location near cathedral and major attractions. Individually stylish, spacious rooms with quality amenities & quiet despite pub below. Friendly and helpful staff creating a welcoming atmosphere. Cons Parking is available, but not straightforward. Parking can be tricky—limited on-street zones; perhaps better to use nearby car parks.

Great location in the centre of Winchester, right next to the cathedral. Lovely, large bedroom. Lively pub, excellent breakfast. (Parking permits are available but we found it difficult to find a space and ended up in the public Tower car park.)
