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…

The staff were very helpful and friendly. Everything you need is within walking distance. The meals at the accommodation are excellent.
Very clean, comfortable with excellent food and attentive service. Also very central for all tourist highlights in Winchester - could not have been better!
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.)
Tradition and quality merge in the Old Vine. Perfectly positioned in the centre of the cathedral area and walkable to all the sites. Great breakfast and lovely helpful staff.
Wholly recommend it; we had the top floor suite, great views and spacious.
All one could ask for in an Inn. Really friendly staff, great location looking into the cathedral grounds, nice pint in the pub under your feet….
Parking a bit tricky but doable.
Highly recommend.
