Anniversary pre cruise break
Really enjoyed our 2 night stay to celebrate our silver anniversary. Nicely decorated room although very dark and warm. Asked for a fan and it was brought immediately. Thank you to all the lovely staff and for our anniversary gift. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. Great area with lots of nearby restaurants and an easy walk in to the beautiful main high street.

Amazing relaxing break
Had a lovely stay with my friend for a relaxing get away! Had an amazing massage from Sophie on neck, shoulders and back, go as far as to say best massage I have ever gotten! Very attentive, lovely ambience in the room and very calming environment! The staff on the front desk at the spa and hotel reception were very friendly and helpful! The room was spacious, very clean, bed was very comfortable and lovely shower! Not a bad word to say about my stay at Winchester hotel and spa! I will definitely be back!

A poor stay
The room itself was a good size however wallpaper was coming off the wall in several paces. The carpet at the threshold was threadbare. The plug socket above the dressing table was loose and coming off the wall. Water systems very noisy from other rooms & Finally the skirting board had been kicked in below the air con.

Convenient and good price
We booked a last minute night away and hotel was convenient/well priced. We did have some issues with the air conditioning in the night but otherwise the hotel was comfortable.
