    Lovely owner who showed us around the cottage and was close by and responsive to any issues. The cottage is light and peaceful, with fantastic views of the cathedral, well-heated and well-equipped.

    Nothing to think of.

    The location being close to the town centre. Coziness. Laundry facilities though not used were great to have. Outside back courtyard. Small basins in bedrooms. Quaint,old cottage. Comfy beds.

    This is an old cottage property and it would not be possible to improve it without ruining the character of the building.

    Compact cottage property with all modern facilities. Good location - just a short walk to city centre. Comfortable accommodation , perfect for our short stay.

    Small criticism: Bathroom on ground floor: I’d rather there was a loo upstairs but there’s not really space.

    Super comfy beds and sofas. The location was perfect for getting around Winchester and visiting historic sites and local trails. The views of Winchester Cathedral from the bedrooms were beautiful. Recommend.

    We like Winchester a lot, and our visit was enhanced by choosing to stay at this cottage
    • With a pet

    The property is old (grade 2 listed) so you need to be aware that the ceilings are lower than modern houses (especially upstairs), and in a couple of places in the upper bedrooms, the roof lines have interesting angles that will catch the unwary head of taller people (especially at night). Parking is only available in dedicated places within the area (permit-based) so you may not be able to park close to the property, so you need to be prepared to walk to-and-fro when loading/unloading luggage/children etc.

    We like Winchester a lot, and this visit was enhanced by choosing to stay at this cottage, rather than one of the many hotels located in the heart of the city. The property is ideally located (just a 10 minute walk from the city centre), and is situated on a relatively quiet no-through road, so traffic is light. It is light and airy throughout, and has a warm cosy feel to it, with a unique decorative charm that is a welcome change to the universal blandness of modern properties. The rear yard is a little small and enclosed, however there are some superb open green spaces just a minute or so walk away, so if you are travelling with a dog who prefers grass to hard standing (as ours does) then you are well catered for. Winchester is an expensive place to visit, stay (and live). This cottage is probably at the premium end of the price range, however it does provide an excellent location and good range of facilities for the visitor.

    Although we had a parking permit to park in a permitted area on the street it was dependant on whether there was space available. This did affect me as I was inclined to walk rather then drive as I didn't want to find there was no available parking spaces on my return.

    Real nice Cottage, great location, sufficient facilities, decent size rooms., easy walking distance from the high street. I would definitely stay again but would bring my family with for a mini break. The activities on the high street was full of life with all types of families despite the horrendously miserable weather.

    No dislike, just a hint: If you have trouble with stairs then you might have a hard time in Winchester at all (it's hilly) and with the cottage in special. The shortest way to the cottage is a steep road (alternatives available) and the stairs from ground floor to the bedrooms are more steep than you might be used to. (if you aren't familiar with old houses)

    Very friendly contact to the owner just around the corner, easy to reach the central city or the nearest bus stations. (Train station is a little away, but no problem to reach by bus or a longer walk.) The cottage itself is an old house with sloping wooden beams, but it has a warm and cosy atmosphere. Winchester has kept a lot of his historical charme and this cottage adds perfectly to it. Good to know: Gas oven is there, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer and two seperate bedrooms (4 beds in total).

    Could have done with more information on how the appliances and heating worked. The courtyard garden out the back was lovely but if you have a dog with you it would be useful to have a patch of greenery or gravel for them to wee on so you don't have to take them down the road last thing at night.

    Very comfortable cottage, in a very good location. It felt friendly and welcoming. We had a lovely visit and would definitely stop again.
