    Only two minor grumbles. The dining room felt rather cluttered for breakfast and we were presented with our cooked breakfast as soon as we sat down with no time for any cereals or fruit.

    We really liked the location, both the elegant quiet street lined with beautiful Georgian houses and its easy walking distance from the city centre, cathedral etc. Alex our host was extremely friendly and helpful, our bedroom was comfortable and well equipped with everything we wanted. We were fascinated by all the paintings, antique furniture, ceramics, chandeliers, candelabra etc etc.

    We had a very pleasant and interesting stay in a gorgeous room with a good breakfast in the morning. It was very quiet there in the evening. The host allowed us to leave our bags early and return to unpack in our room at the agreed time. The location is perfect for making your way to the Cathedral through Winchester`s fascinating streets- away from the main road. We took a no.1 bus from Southampton that drops you very close on St Cross Road.

    Nothing at all

    Alex was the perfect host, he made you feel so welcome. His stunning Regency home was warm and clean and oh so stylish! The breakfast was delicious, served in an exquisite dining room with the upmost attention to detail, it completely exceeded our expectations. A parking permit was provided for the street outside which took all the stress out of our stay and the Cathedral and centre of town is a 5 minute stroll away. Thank you for your kind hospitality Alex, meeting you made our trip.

    I had overlooked the fact that we would have to share a bathroom. It wasn't a problem but would have preferred an ensuite.

    Bed was comfortable. Breakfast was excellent. Location was perfect - very quiet but a short walk to the centre of town. Host very welcoming. We loved the quirky decor.

    The TV was in line with the bed so that you couldn't actually watch it from the bed.

    The cooked breakfast was lovely and the coffee was superb. The dining room was unusual with candelabra on the table, as was the art work in the room. The house was in an ideal situation to be able to walk easily into the town centre and Cathedral.

    Only one issue was that there must have been an open fire in the house which was a bit smokey - ordinarily a lovely smell. My friend was not 100% well and the smoke affected her coughing through the night.

    It was very comfortable, with beautiful paintings and decor. The room was comfortable and breakfast was lovely. Alex was very welcoming and helpful.

    Some people won't like using a shared bathroom - it didn't bother me and I only had to wait a few minutes on one occasion. I would suggest having the toilet separate, but the style of the property might make that difficult.

    A homely feel with a very hospitable host who was very accommodating. The host was happy to prepare breakfast at whatever time suited me and he even offered to book a table at a local restaurant for me, which I thought was really lovely. The location is brilliant and the host gave me a parking permit so I could park on the road free of charge near the hotel.
