After a 30 minute walk from Winchester Station, we arrived at the doorstep of Ms Pell. She was already there to greet us and gave us a warm welcome. I adored the house, which I found typical English. Our suitcases were covered in dirt, because it was raining and muddy outside and Ms Pell provided us with towels. It made... More

My husband and I stayed here early in April and loved this bed & breakfast. Sue was such a charming hostess, we didn't want to leave!! Sue & family greeted us when we arrived and we were brought right up to our bedroom, where a hospitality tray was waiting for us and Sue quickly brought in some milk so we... More

I could not have found anywhere better than the Lilacs for a warm, friendly and welcoming stay in Winchester. It is family home to Sue, who is a superb hostess and made me feel instantly at home. My room was ideal: LCD TV, lovely comfy bed, refreshments tray with tea, coffee, decaff', hot chocolate, biscuits - she really has thought... More

What a great way of resolving Winchester's parking problems - stay just a mile out at Sue's lovely comfortable home! Spotlessly clean, with a warm comfy bed and a lovely hospitality tray in the room, followed by a superb breakfast, the Lilacs offers excellent value-for-money and is ideal for the solo traveller. Sue is welcoming and helpful, and even gave... More

Hospitality at its best, thankyou Sue. Best of all, reasonable single supplement for use of large twin room. Set well back from main road, so quiet rooms. Off road parking. Buses into city, or 20 minutes walk. Easy road access to all major routes, avoiding city traffic. Warm comfortable beds, and large bathroom. Choice of drinks and biscuits in room.... More

Breakfast is first class- cooked to perfection every time no matter what you order. Sue is very knowledgable on Winchester and can advise on all the tourist attractions and places of... More

The B&B was very clean and the breakfast was superb. If you are traveling with your own car the B&B is very well located to take trips around Jane Austen country. Staying just outside of Winchester was ideal because traffic can be brutal in the city center.

I really enjoyed the Lilacs. It is so comfortable and Susan takes such effort to make you remain comfortable. She has tons of references to consider when hitting to sight-seeing and is very helpful with advice and suggestions. You completely have your own space, but are told that you are welcome to sit in the lounge for TV or in... More

My daughter and myself stayed here for four nights and everything about our stay was excellent. It is beautifully clean, the breakfast was filling and varied and nothing is too much effort for Susan the proprietor. She even gave some medication for my daughter when she was ill.
