We stayed two nights at the Wykeham Arms & it was exactly what I was hoping for - cosy accommodation, great food & great beer! Our room was a few steps across the cobbled street from the pub & through a small blue door into the Annexe. The stairs were admittedly a bit tight & problematic with luggage but it's... more

Had a lovely trip here.Stayed in one of the newer rooms opposite the pub which was nice and quiet but getting the luggage up all the stairs was a bit of a struggle but I am sure the staff would have helped if asked.It was nicely equipped and decorated.The bar is very quirky and enjoyed having a few drinks here... more

After reading so many decent reviews of The Wykeham Arms I expected it be above average. However, this pub is definitely trading on its former reputation when it was run by its former owners. Even the framed reviews lining the walls are 10-15 years old. The small but overfurnished rooms are relatively clean. The shower in our room (above the... more

This pub, as someone else on here said, is all English pubs should be like, but few nowadays are. It is ideal for foreign visitors who hope to have an authentic English experience. The rooms are split between over the bar and across the road; we had a room just above the bar. The room was perfect with a welcoming... more

Stayed at the Wykeham Arms in October. To say the experience was disappointing would be an understatement. First of all, our double room was poky and unclean. There were stains on the walls, the doors, and even the ceiling (how? why?) The experience of being in such an unsavory environment makes one want to take a shower – unfortunately the... more

Let me preface this by stating that I have stayed in my fair share of B&Bs all over Great Britain. That said, The Wykeham Arms was a bit of a disappointment. It was rather pricey for what it delivers. For an October stay (that’s not high season of tourism for Winchester, now is it?) it was probably twice the cost... more

We trusted the reviews on this site and they were absolutely spot on! I brought my husband here as a surprise for his birthday this week and we were not disappointed. We had a warm welcome on the phone beforehand, an offer of parking at the pub (which is not easy at the best of times in a city like... more

Now I'm not an easy woman to please. I notice things. Sloppy decor, disinterested staff, traffic noise, undelivered promises. They are all on my radar. Fortunately, the Wykeham Arms suffers from none of them. From the moment I phoned up to make a reservation to the minute we carried out bags out of the pub's front door I liked everything... more

Stayed at the Wykeham when in town for my sisters wedding. It is her favorite haunt & she knows the landlord well, which might explain the wonderful room i had above the pub. Food is just fantastic as is the atmosphere in the pub. It is as all English pubs should be like, but few nowadays are. Ideal for foreign... more
