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.

The Old Vine is a wonderful property. It blends historic charm with the best of modern comfort. The breakfast is served generously and quite delicious. We must mention Mitchell who does it all and made our stay even more special. Thanks! Last but not least, the location could not be better—directly across from the cathedral, and a stone’s throw from the charming old town. Hope to return soon.

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.)

Fabulous

This is an old building with 6 rooms and a pub/restaurant on the ground floor. The rooms are huge with updated bathrooms and antique furnishings. Loved the ambience. Although my husband uses a walker, he was able to manage the stairs to our room on the first floor. The staff were friendly and very accommodating and the food was delicious. Breakfast was included and we ate dinner there 2 nights out of 3. The Old Vine is right on the park of Winchester Cathedral and only a block from the High Street where there are lots of cafes, shops and restaurants. Would definitely stay there again. We stayed 3 nights before boarding the Queen Mary 2 and the staff arranged a taxi to pick us up at the hotel.
