We loved our stay here at the Wyckham arms. Our room was clean and beautiful and well appointed. The food and the staff were exceptional. The end was quaint and historical and although bustling with activity, it was a very quiet and lovely place to stay. Beds were great. Great! Toiletries were great. We loved it

You are living in a structure with tons of history. It is updated to a point but wants to always maintain its history. Quaint rooms that tell a story and transport you back in time. Breakfast was great and staff very accommodating.

Charming pub with lots of character. Stayed in the luxury double which was very comfortable with a lovely roll top bath and a shower with good power. Nice touch of homemade shortbread and a plentiful selection of tea and coffee in the room. The food in the restaurant was also delicious. Great place to stay for exploring Winchester

The wykeham is ideally placed for exploring Winchester its only a 5 minute walk to the Cathedral and the city centre. The staff were friendly and approachable at all times. Our room Kelsey was large and comfortable with a good shower. The breakfast was very good with plenty of choice.

Lunch was wildly expensive but breakfast was good. It would have been helpful to know we were on the 3rd floor no elevators and tiny circular stairs. For those with some mobility challenges it’s a hike!

A characterful property. My single room was extremely comfortable and very well equipped. The staff were helpful and very efficient. The breakfast choices were abundant; continental, cereals as well as full breakfast etc. The location was ideal with a short walk to the cathedral and shops. My stay was faultless. Whilst there is free carparking, it is quite a squeeze.

From start to finish this was a cut above. I arrived early but was still able to access the car park and when staff heard I'd travelled a long way I was offered a reviving cup of coffee. The menu looked great (as did the beers on offer) but as I was attending an all day event I didn't get to try the Wykeham Pie. I did have breakfast which was excellent and extremely good value. My single room was comfortable, clean and perfect for a short stay. Staff were always on hand and incredibly helpful. The atmosphere was welcoming, friendly and the memorabilia in the bars fascinating. As for the loo......a work of art. Without any hesitation I would come back and highly recommend. Hospitality at its best.

Top class location with easy and picturesque walk to high street via cathedral. Friendly, courteous staff. Characterful clean room with excellent welcome freebies ( bottle of beer, sweet treats). Fridge in the room with real milk and chilled water. A very characterful bar & dining room in the pub which was clearly very popular with locals too. Slight downsides: not great privacy of ensuite facilities from bedroom, slightly over-priced evening meal even for Winchester, some early morning street noise from delivery lorries. None of this spoiled an excellent stay.
