This is an old building with 6 rooms and a pub/restaurant on the ground floor. The rooms are huge with updated bathrooms and antique furnishings. Loved the ambience. Although my husband uses a walker, he was able to manage the stairs to our room on the first floor. The staff were friendly and very accommodating and the food was delicious. Breakfast was included and we ate dinner there 2 nights out of 3. The Old Vine is right on the park of Winchester Cathedral and only a block from the High Street where there are lots of cafes, shops and restaurants. Would definitely stay there again. We stayed 3 nights before boarding the Queen Mary 2 and the staff arranged a taxi to pick us up at the hotel.

Absolutely first-class! Super suite with lovely old features and a huge 4-post bed. No charge for a cooked breakfast delivered to our room which was superb. Excellent tea and coffee and fresh juice. A real treat.

Me and my wife loved our stay here. We came for the Christmas market and this was the perfect location with just a couple of minuets walk. Our room was amazing and had everything we needed and more, the staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast was beautiful, one of the best breakfasts we've had and having it served in our room was and very nice touch. We'll be visiting again.

This was a beautiful historic property. Literally right next door to the Cathedral and the market / shopping and tons of restaurants and cafes. Very large rooms for Europe with sitting areas, coffees, tees and non alcoholic drinks stocked in fridge. No lift available for hauling luggage but staff was great to help if needed. Beds a little on the firm side but lovely linens. Breakfast included and restaurant quite delicious. Would definitely rebook here. Easy access for Uber as well!

Another good stay at the Old Vine. Warm welcome, great room and breakfast included. So close to Cathedral, shops, places to eat. I wish they had a car park, as parking permit is only available from 3pm.

A great place for a relaxing visit to this beautiful city of Winchester. Our large top floor room had lovely views across the Cathedral and town. So central, yet so peaceful. Walkable to just about anywhere here,including the railway station. A quaint old pub, with great accommodation and a very hearty breakfast included. Room facilities are excellent. Would recommend attending an Evensong service at the Cathedral… a great and spiritual experience, which doubles as an opportunity to explore this ancient Gothic masterpiece. We did this, with a bonus of a recital on the famous “Father Willis” organ.

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.
