The Old Vine is a charming historic inn in central Winchester, with consistently praised friendly staff, generous breakfasts and quality pub dining, spacious well-appointed rooms, and a standout location facing the cathedral and steps from shops and sights.
Parking relies on nearby on-street permits and can be tricky, though staff provide guidance. While many found rooms quiet, a few mentioned early-morning street noise and, in one case, maintenance and cleanliness issues. Overall, it is a comfortable base for exploring Winchester.

Great little hotel, kept very original, right opposite the cathedral and within 1 min walk of the main high street. Parking is just on street. So you have to hope there's a space close to the hotel, they give you a badge to put on the dash board so you can leave the car there. If you were unlucky you might have to walk a half mile from the car to the hotel, then back again with your car badge! But this is typical of hotels in the centre of ancient towns and cities, they won't have their own dedicated car park, they're too old.

Pros Excellent central location near cathedral and major attractions. Individually stylish, spacious rooms with quality amenities & quiet despite pub below. Friendly and helpful staff creating a welcoming atmosphere. Cons Parking is available, but not straightforward. Parking can be tricky—limited on-street zones; perhaps better to use nearby car parks.

All one could ask for in an Inn. Really friendly staff, great location looking into the cathedral grounds, nice pint in the pub under your feet…. Parking a bit tricky but doable. Highly recommend.

Wonderfully located pub with individually styled rooms. Lovely bathroom with good toiletries/slippers and robe. Had an issue with TV, staff arrived promptly and problem was resolved. Good food and atmosphere in restaurant. Staff pleasant and attentive. Having the Cathedral directly opposite a real bonus. Once we’d parked our car in a street nearby with permit from hotel we didn’t see the car until we left, perfect location for cathedral, shops and some lovely walks.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Old Vine. The staff went out of their way to accommodate us as we came in quite late. They helped us with parking and we found our room well stocked with everything you could possibly need on vacation! They even brought our breakfast at our room so we could, continue on our travels quickly. Our room was quite large and very comfortable!

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.

The rooms were spotlessly clean. Each room has its own modern bathroom (also spotless) and breakfast is included in price. You can have breakfast in your room or downstairs in dining room. Staff is friendly and welcoming. The location is nothing short of perfection. While your there make sure to take a walking tour and a tour of the cathedral and great hall. We just loved our stay here! We highly recommend it!

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.

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!

We must mention Mitchell who does it all and made our stay even more special. Thanks!

Tradition and quality merge in the Old Vine. Perfectly positioned in the centre of the cathedral area and walkable to all the sites. Great breakfast and lovely helpful staff. Wholly recommend it; we had the top floor suite, great views and spacious.

One of the most spacious, comfortable, and well appointed rooms we have stayed at. While in an historic Inn, the room was large and pleasant. Literally steps from the Cathedral and most historic points of interest, food and shopping. The dinner was also of exceptional quality.

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.

We had a wonderful stay here. The room and amenities were all excellent, it was very quiet even though the outside seating was outside our room. The location was excellent, opposite the cathedral and near all the shops. We ordered our evening meal there and it was very good. Breakfast was excellent and well cooked and the portions were huge. Will definitely stay here again.

This is a very nice pub with 6 rooms above, in a great location in the heart of Winchester, close to all the local attractions. The breakfast was lovely with lots of choice. The only reason we didnt give it 5 stars was because we where staying in the room overlooking the courtyard and at about 6am staff where going in and out crashing the door which was directly below us. A simple solution would be to put a soft clise mechanism on this door.
