We were allocated the Allwyn & Little room which we assume is the Deluxe Double Room, 1 Double Bed, Ensuite, City View which we paid £179 for. Room was spacious but the bathroom was tired. Damp on the walks, black mold on the window frames and a previous guest body hair in the bath and on the bath mat. Bed was very creaky. The hotel is old ( which we knew) but does not have double glazed windows. We were woken at 3/4/5 by vehicles outside loading and unloading and managed to get back to sleep at around 5:30am only to be woken again at 7 by the council jet washing the pavement outside our window for 40 mins. We decided to get up and go for a walk as the noise was unbearable. There is no information anywhere that says the room may be noisy, nor did I find any guest reviews advising this. We must have been extremely unlucky. This is not acceptable when paying £179 for a room in any hotel. The hotel description says that there are views of the cathedral & green. We could not see the cathedral or the green as there was a huge tree outside the window. The kettle in the room had not been emptied from previous guests and the cupboard that house the condiments was grubby and had tea & coffee stains on it. The breakfast was good and spent around £180 on drinks & food during our stay. I am in the hotel business and am meticulous about where I stay when on my personal travels. This was not a good stay and compensation is due as we did not rest.

The family apartment at The Old Vine where we stayed was an excellent accommodation. It's located in a separate building from the pub. There's a lot of space over 3 floors - the photos don't do it justice! The lounge is very cosy with a large sofa bed and armchair. The table in the lounge is suitable for doing work on a laptop etc. The WiFi connection was fine as well. The location of the apartment is very central - right next to the cathedral green, the city museum and the high street with lots of restaurants and shops. Other attractions (such as the hall with King Arthur's round table and the National Trust water mill) are within a walkable distance. The breakfast menu options are very generous, and the pub has good food options throughout the day. It was nice to be able to park the car in a space recommended by the host (detailed instructions are given) and enjoy some car-free time for a couple of days. We can't wait to go back to Winchester to explore it further, and The Old Vine will be our first choice of accommodation - to stay either as a couple or as a family.

Lovely one night stop over at the Old Vine. We arrived on a sinday and decided to have a sunday roast in the restaurant. Highly recommended the restaurant, food and service was great. Staff are all very knowledgeable, friendly and polite. We were shown up to our room and was supprised at how big it was. Very comfortable and perfect location for a stroll around the town and cathedral. Slight down side was noise fron delivery vehicles early morning but the hotel had provided ear plugs and they worked a treat. We would definitely stay here again

This was my second stay at the Old Vine this year, and I have had another lovely time - excellent service from staff, and a beautiful, comfortable, spacious and clean room, with wonderful amenities. The breakfast is also amazing, and a huge selling point as it is included in the price. I will definitely be coming here again! Thank you!
