We had a wonderful stay here. The room and amenities were all excellent, it was very quiet even though the outside seating was outside our room. The location was excellent, opposite the cathedral and near all the shops. We ordered our evening meal there and it was very good. Breakfast was excellent and well cooked and the portions were huge. Will definitely stay here again.

Verified review

8/10 Very good

This is a very nice pub with 6 rooms above, in a great location in the heart of Winchester, close to all the local attractions. The breakfast was lovely with lots of choice. The only reason we didnt give it 5 stars was because we where staying in the room overlooking the courtyard and at about 6am staff where going in and out crashing the door which was directly below us. A simple solution would be to put a soft clise mechanism on this door.

Room was great and hotel was next to Winchester Cathedral. We spent 3 nights there and made day trips out to Stonehenge, Jane Austen’s house, etc. The included full breakfast was exceptional! Staff was very friendly.

I am a solo woman traveling from Canada and I am so happy I chose this hotel for a few days before my cruise out of Southampton. Everything was amazing, from the attentive and very helpful staff to the overall ambiance, my stay here was incredible! My room was so beautiful with views of the Winchester museum and the hotel just minutes away from the Cathedral. My bed was very comfy and I loved all the extra amenities included in the room! I also appreciated the towel warmer aftermy shower! I enjoyed the included breakfast, which you could have either in the restaurant or have delivered to your room! Hands down, I would stay here again in a heartbeat and I highly recommend this place.

We had a fantastic stay at The Old Vine and can’t recommend it enough. A special thank you to Bradley for such a warm welcome and excellent service throughout our visit — it truly made a difference. The rooms were beautiful, comfortable, and thoughtfully appointed. The restaurant was outstanding: the food was incredibly good. I had the duck leg, and it was an easy 10/10 — absolutely delicious. Parking was convenient, everything was smooth and hassle-free, and the entire experience just felt effortless from start to finish. We had a wonderful time and will definitely stay here again. Highly recommended!
