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.)

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.

Another wonderful stay!

This was my second stay at the Old Vine this year, and I have had another lovely time - excellent service from staff, and a beautiful, comfortable, spacious and clean room, with wonderful amenities. The breakfast is also amazing, and a huge selling point as it is included in the price. I will definitely be coming here again! Thank you!

Great Place to stay

We loved the apartment, lots of space with everything we needed. The restaurant and service was great. The concierge, Ashton Gray, was prompt, friendly and efficient. The location was a 2 minute walk to the cathedral and very close to the other attractions and shopping. Would definitely stay again. Thank-you!

A very enjoyable stay

Was able to check in early to a very comfortable room. It had nice touches, such as a fridge with complementary water and orange juice, also fresh milk to use with coffee pod machine. There was also a fan and small air conditioner unit, which we made use of. We took the option of breakfast in our room witch was plentiful and delivered on time by very friendly staff. Parking was in next street and we were given a free permit for the duration of our stay, although we were lucky to get the last space. A very enjoyable stay, well recommended.

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!
