Central Winchester Location
Wykeham Arms is tucked away in a quiet corner of Winchester, 300 meters from Winchester Cathedral. Nearby landmarks include Wolvesey Castle ruins (0.5 km), Winchester College (0.5 km), Winchester City Museum (0.5 km), and the Science Center and Planetarium (0.8 km). Southampton is 15 km away.

Additional Guest Services
The hotel provides ironing facilities, mini-bars, free toiletries, and electric kettles in rooms. Dogs are allowed in specific rooms. The Wykeham Arms was named town pub of the year by The Good Pub Guide.
“The location, near Winchester Cathedral and the city center, makes it ideal for history enthusiasts; inside, the hotel exudes old-world charm, extending to its award-winning pub known for local ales. I think it's a family-friendly place, especially with its outdoor seating and rooms designed for various needs. Overall, a stay here promises both comfort and historical flavor.”
