We loved the ‘quirky’ ambience! Very friendly staff, excellent food and a quiet location just a short walk to the main area of town.

Rooms were a bit small. However they were advertised as small and to be honest exceeded our expectation.

Lovely pub with plenty of character. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice rooms. Breakfast in room but surprisingly good and satisfying. We didn't have a meal in the pub, but the menu and food looked very good. Walking distance to Winchester central and cathedral. Parking on local street with free parking permit.

Excellent room with good facilities. The breakfast is left in a fridge in the room, which is ideal for a quick breakfast if you need to leave promptly the next morning. The pub has a really good choice of food, well presented and very tasty

The faint cycle of humming noise from either fans or refrigeration when trying to sleep but I am use to complete silence at home so would not bother some. Nothing more to add everything else was good.

The staff were very helpful and attentive. The vintage furnishings gave it a unique quirky feel. Just a short walk from the centre but in a quiet area. The bed was comfy.

Very nice welcome when we arrived approx 1600 from a very helpful lady. Nice comfortable room and bed. Bedding and towels were nice quality too. Bathroom contained a walk in shower with power shower.Tasteful decoration all through. Whilst breakfast is not served at this pub there was fresh milk in the fridge in the room With that was muesli, yoghurts and fresh fruit which were not chargeable, crockery/cutlery provided too. Good tea and coffee making facilities with cookies supplied too. All in all nice touches. We stayed on a Sundaynight , Sunday Lunch was on offer up to 1730, there is also a menu for other food which looks very nice. The pub was snug and comfortable and we spent a nice Sunday evening there . This is a local pub for some but not overly busy. It is also child friendly. We enjoyed our stay very much and will be booking again on our next trip to Winchester.

Great location, very friendly welcome and nice room. We weren’t expecting breakfast so it was a lovely surprise to find that a very nice continental breakfast was in the room.

Minor faults only, couldn't open the windows, think the sash cord was broken, and tv was side on to bed....

It was a great pub, lots of character and attention to detail. Breakfast was Yoghurt, Granola, fruit and muffins. All kept in a fridge. Cups and saucers, tea pot and coffee cafetiere. Great location, 10mins walk into Winchester. Staff were very friendly and helpful, free parking right outside.

There was an issue with the toilet which was difficult to flush with the overflow running noisily throughout the night. Happy to accept this was a rare occurrence and would have been rectified quickly if we had been staying for more than one night.

Room and dinner were both up to expectations and deserved a five rating. Generally provided excellent value although the wine seemed more expensive than would have been expected.

Took us about 15 mins to walk to cathedral and I’d have preferred to be a bit nearer

Friendly staff, quirky decor, comfy room

Although the breakfast in frig was a good idea, it was a bit heavy - but certainly set one up for the day.

Surprisingly parking easier than anticipated. Good bar and ales.

The WiFi in our room was very poor. It was better downstairs but could do with boosting in the rooms. The bathroom had a great shower but the toilet needs attention. The refilling cistern was broken resulting in a loud groaning noise or the constant sound of water running as it refilled the cistern. At one point it stopped flushing and a lovely staff member came and tinkered with it. It’s an old building so plumbing will be a little cranky but this could definitely do with being fixed.

Lovely friendly staff, great location and a very comfortable bed. The room was really clean and the food in the downstairs restaurant was great. We enjoyed sitting in the pub in the evenings it had a really friendly atmosphere.

Could hear a little noise from other rooms but nothing that impacted ability to sleep.

Great location 10 minutes walk to the centre of Winchester. Very cosy and relaxed pub. Rooms are a decent size and bathroom was clean and good quality.
