Hotels near Winchester Christmas Market

"The entrance and reception area were quite good, it felt as though you had arrived at a nice modern hotel. The receptionist was friendly and check in was speedy. Our room was on the first floor and first impressions of our room were good, spacious, plenty of storage, bathroom ok, tea/coffee and a large tv. However, on closer inspection there were some cleaning issues. The vent on the electric heater didn’t look as though it had been cleaned for ages- discoloured and dusty. The overall appearance of the room was a bit tired, only one bin, in the bathroom, the foot pedal to open it wouldn’t work so I had to open it by hand and it was small and fiddly. The bed was comfortable with good quality bed linen and pillows so we slept ok. Breakfast was quite good although we were kept waiting for the cooked eggs, I think the cook had forgotten to cook them! The bacon was tasty and my husband said the sausage and hash browns were good. As well as having to ask for the eggs, we also had to ask for butter, salt and pepper. The coffee wasn’t that great even though it came from a Lavasso machine and there weren’t enough sugar sachets in a little basket, I took the last 4 the rest were sweepers. The only member of staff on duty in the restaurant, was polite and friendly, he did act quickly when we requested things. We only stayed one night, so my review can only be based on that overnight stay. Our overall feeling about our stay was that it was okay but could have been so much better."

"Stayed here for our wedding anniversary. We had an upgrade on our room which was lovely and all the staff were really friendly and helpful. We had a lovely meal in the restaurant and great breakfast before we left - all cooked perfectly. "

"We stayed two nights at the Old Vine. The location was excellent, walking distance from the Cathedral and shops. The room was spacious, clean and generously equipping with all the amenities you would expect."

"Friendly staff, hotel in a fantastic central location."

"Lovely breakfast, wobblby tav"

"This was our first visit of the property under the new name and branding. The redesigned foyer and common areas are appealing and well designed, our family room was clean and comfortable and nicely put together in terms of style. The restaurant area is less successful in terms of design and we would not rate the breakfast above average. However, five stars to the entire breakfast team (open kitchen included) for their warm hospitality. "

"Dustbin trucks very loud early morning"

"Our stay was for a couple of days to attend a Wedding in Winchester. St John’s Croft is ideally placed within 5 minutes easy walk of the town centre, with on site parking at the property. The property is a lovely grand farmhouse, in a very quiet raised spot, considering how close it is to everything. The property has a lovey, relaxed, arty/boho feel to it, with a warm atmosphere. Our room had a large double and single daybed, two very comfortable armchairs, coffee table, lots of side lamps and a TV. A good powerful shower in our private bathroom, with lots of hot water was most welcome. Dotty cooked us a marvellous breakfast around a large communal kitchen table by the AGA. I would more than happily stay here again. Thank you. "
