The Plough offers lovely bright rooms with stylish design. There is a flat-screen TV, free WiFi and tea and coffee-making facilities. Some rooms open onto a balcony.

Absolutely wonderful stay. Room was lovely and nicely renovated, bed very comfortable. Was a bit worried about noise from the road, but that was no problem. Restaurant was excellent and so was the bar and the breakfast. Would definately stay here again.

The property has garden and quiet street views, and is 23 km from The Mayflower Theatre. Ageas Bowl is 28 km from the guest house and Highclere Castle is 33 km away.

This guest house is hard to find ( number 3 not number 1) But wasn’t very nice! We had our own room and a communal kitchen, there was no one in the house at the time so we had it to ourselves! Very nice and comfy bed :)

Offering free WiFi, parking on-site and a garden, the recently renovated property of The Cricketers Inn, offers rooms in Winchester, 23 km from Jane Austen's House Museum and 26 km from The Mayflower Theatre. Featuring full-day security, this property also welcomes guests with a restaurant and a picnic area. The guest house features family rooms.

The host (and new owner) was super welcoming and we felt at home right away. Straightforward communication even before our arrival. Great atmosphere and a cozy feel of local community. Superb beer and cider on draft in the downstairs pub and even the late night pizza was great. Wish our itenerary had allowed us to stay longer!

    Perfectly placed a short walk from the city centre but still quiet and residential. We didn’t use our car all weekend. The room is beautiful and Esmé has thought of everything you might need to make for a relaxing stay. Very comfortable bed and a shower to die for. Esmé is the best host, so warm and friendly. We just loved our stay and would return in a heartbeat.

    It was in a great location close to the city centre and train station but quiet at night. It had all the facilities you could need for self-catering. It was very cosy and had lots of space, It was also very secure with two coded doors.

    Everything. It was just stunning. The house is beautifully decorated with exquisite paintings and unusual things everywhere. It is a feast for your eyes. My host was charming, friendly and so helpful. This was the most perfect place to stay to be near the town centre but in a quiet street, away from any traffic noise.

    Such a lovely quirky place to stay with lots of history. So quiet and tranquil and Alex was the perfect host. Great to have the benefit of the parking permit to park close by and the place is really close to the city centre. The room was lovely, big and comfortable. A highly recommended place to stay, and we will be sure to stay there again next time we are in Winchester!

    Lovely guesthouse in a great location, very quiet but within a few minutes walk from the centre. The house is full of fascinating pictures and the host is lovely. Very comfortable and warm on a rainy afternoon.
