18th-century coaching inn steps from Winchester Cathedral, named Town Pub of the Year

Rooms

The hotel offers individually-designed luxury bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. Guest rooms are located within the 18th-century inn or in the annexe across the street. A complimentary minibar with fresh milk, bottled water, and a bottle of Fullers London Pride is provided in each room.

Dining

The traditional restaurant serves a locally sourced seasonal menu crafted by head chef Luke Emmes. A cooked-to-order breakfast is included, with a buffet of juice, fruit, and cereal available each morning. An extensive wine list and local ales from Flower Pot brewery are offered in the cosy bar.

Location & Grounds

The hotel sits between Winchester Cathedral and the college, in the quietest corner of the city. The city centre is a 5-minute walk away, and Wolvesey Castle ruins are also within walking distance. A charming garden space is available for tea and relaxation.

Pets & Parking

Dogs are allowed to accompany guests in the pub and in selected guest rooms. Free on-site parking is provided, though the car park is small, and keys are held by staff to move cars as needed. CCTV operates outside the property, and fire extinguishers and smoke alarms are installed.

Private Dining & Events

Exclusive private dining spaces are available for special occasions, including a separate room for groups. Meeting and banquet facilities can be arranged for business or social events. The hotel proactively manages event planning and logistics for group bookings.
