Visiting daughter at the university. Always love visiting Winchester. Found some wonderful walks this time along the river and also a good walk up Saint Catherine's Hill with views all across Winchester and further afield. Wonderful pubs and vibrant atmosphere.

We have grown to love Hampshire so much as the people there...
We have grown to love Hampshire so much as the people there seem the most lovely wherever we go. We went to the Jane Austin House and I said this to a lovely man who was one of the curators and he said 'that is Hampshire people and that is why we moved here'. Winchester itself is beautiful not just the Cathedral or Great Hall or the Mill but spending an hour or so sitting outside one of the many establishments watching the world (and their dogs - we've never been anywhere where there were so many dogs and we argued which we should get). We both work hard but upon arrival we just completely relaxed. Other recommendations the Bangkok Bistrot restaurant in Jewry Street (we also saw the Grayson Perry Exhibit in the same Road), the Sunday morning antiques and retro and other market - I bought two wonderful things I will cherish, but above all the happiness everyone exuded, we will be back. This trip was short but there is so much to see (and also so many of my favourite shops, more than actually accessible in where I live in Kensington but in Winchester all in the high street - the White Company, Hobbs x 20!)
As you can tell we fell in love with Winchester!!

Winchester is a delightful place to visit.
Winchester is a delightful place to visit. It blends the old with the new extremely well. The cathedral has to be seen inside. A guided tour is available which is essential to appreciate fully the cathedral's remarkable history.
Further attractions are the wide range of excellent restaurants and pubs,museums and historic buildings.

Lovely historical sites and museums.
Lovely historical sites and museums. A walk along the trail was refreshing and seeing Winchester from Saint Catherine's Hill and lunch at the Handle Bar cafe at Saint Catherine's Hill was good value for money, lovely fresh panini's and friendly staff, not to mention the cake.
Plenty of eateries on an evening and quaint streets.

Winchester is a charming city which needs you to fully...
Winchester is a charming city which needs you to fully explore. As well as the Cathedral and Great Hall, you should walk right to the end of the High Street as see what is down each street- particularly at the top of the town. There is a wide variety of cafes and restaurants. We had a Nepalese meal at Marse which was great with "ancient grains".
The Tourist Information Centre were fantastically helpful. Do walk the Water Meadows on the other side of the Cathedral and visit St Cross- following the river and in the spirit of John Keats. Finally, walk around the ruins of Wolvesey Castle.
Every member of staff we encountered was friendly and helpful. People often complain about the standard of food in "corporate" hotels - the menu was understandably restricted in choice but our meals were well presented, the portions were generous and the quality was excellent. Breakfast was very good with plenty of choice.
The hotel is also easy to get to, being on a peripheral road but only a few minutes drive from the city centre. Ideal for visiting Winchester and it's surrounding area
We had a great one night stay at the hotel following on from a day at Marwell Zoo. The room was quiet, clean & had really lovely tea & coffee making facilities & an activity pack for children which I thought was a lovely touch.
Great hot buffett breakfast. It felt that nothing was too much trouble for the staff, I asked for milk & a fridge in the room for the children which was happily done.
A really great stay - we will be back!
It is our second stay at the Running Horse. It is good value for money and rooms are nicely decorated and comfortable. The toiletries in the bathroom are really good. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is ok but slightly overpriced as the ingredients and the coffe are average. The location is in a pretty village just outside Winchester and there is free parking at the hotel.
The location couldn't be more central and the breakfast was great. The room was very large with great attention to details. The restaurant and tavern were two of the best in Winchester and the entire place was very historic. Plus, the staff were all in their twenties and very friendly and helpful. The Old Vine Inn is really "the place" to stay in Winchester.
We used the spa everyday, and found it very clean, I liked being able to dress for swimming in our room and wear a robe to the spa.
Breakfast was a good quality buffet.
Winchester is a lovely old city with lots of eateries and old buildings of interest especially the cathedral. We could walk from the hotel to the city centre in about 10 to 15 minutes
* Location of hotel, with an exceptional view of Winchester Cathedral
* Willingness of staff to help
* Comfortable room (the deluxe double)
* Good-quality breakfast
* Proximity to town centre
*Pre-ordered prosecco was presented as a complementary gesture, as it was delayed by a day (and thus spoiled the surprise on check-in)
When I booked this I was told it was on the M3 at Winchester. When I got there I found it was nearer to Basingstoke . It’s a ridiculous scenario to have to drive so far out of the way north bound and then all the way back southbound to get to the hotel. The taxi from fair oak was £58. I was shocked beyond belief!
The room itself was absolutely lovely, great bathroom, the service was great and breakfast the next morning was tasty but also in a lovely cosy setting. The hotel itself and courtyard was beautiful yet with character, wish we could have enjoyed that with better weather!
The location was perfect—a lovely, tranquil countryside location but easy driving distance to Winchester. My toddler loved walking the lanes of the farm to see the animals. The host sent friendly and informative information. The accommodation was comfortable and clean.
The location is ideal for exploring Winchester! The couch is super comfy and having Netflix is a nice touch. The towels were super soft. I met the owner and she could not of been more lovely. It was also nice to have a washer in the unit because we stayed for 6 nights.
Booked last minute as came to Winchester for a night out for my birthday! We got at a bargain price on the day, literelly a 10 min walk into the night life which was perfect. Hotel had everything we needed for an overnight stay and will definitely stay again xxx
The location is everything. The building is historic and the rooms are luxurious but in-keeping. Breakfast is excellent. Overall, definitely more than an average hotel stay, a real experience.
The location near to the centre of Winchester. The garden and the quiet location, no traffic noise. The car parking was very close and convenient. We liked the overall ambiance of the Hotel.
