The welcome was warm, the room was comfortable and well equipped. However, if you offer a bar, it should not be locked and in darkness at 6.30pm with the only member of staff about to leave. The problem was resolved and we had a very good "house red" very fairly priced. Good breakfasts consist of good ingredients cooked with care:... More

I stayed in the hotel with family and friends for a birthday weekend and ended up having a fantastic time in a great hotel with a lovely friendly staff. The rooms are a high standard with lovely Molten Brown goodies included. The breakfast was good, with a good choice on the menu and was served with a smile!. The recommendation... More

No complaints really. Room was clean. Bed was a little narrow/uncomfortable. Friendly welcome. Good breakfast. Perhaps a little too expensive for what's on offer. The city centre is a good 10/15 minute walk - probably too far for some. More

The Giffard House continues to be a 5-star adventure when it comes to a B&B. Situated just a few blocks from Winchester Cathedral, it is by far my favorite place to stay when it comes to Winchester and Southampton. And I've been traveling regularly to Winchester for more than a decade. My dilemma is whether or not tell others about... More

Stayed in small suite on ground floor at rear. Looked lovely but minor irritations. Good bathroom but no shelf to put our things on and on our first morning hot water supply tepid (no problem 2nd day). Couldn't fault the breakfast. Some of the passing trains were very noisy in the wee small hours but all properties in central Winchester... More

We found the Giffard House Hotel by chance. That was our luck! You don't often expect to land up in a place so pleasant as this hotel – or should I call it a B&B hotel? It has all the advantages of a hotel combined with the personal touch and care of a B&B. We were part of a large... More

We stayed for 1 night at the end of October and booked a double and single room. We were met by the manager Yvonne who gave us a helpful map and directions into Winchester. The hotel has been renovated to a high standard, the rooms are beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and well equipped. Unfortunately on our return from the town... More

What a wonderful place to stay. Owner's Peter and Eva were inviting and I felt truly welcome. My room was very nice and came with great internet access as well. Wonderful breakfast too! It was also nice to come back from work and cozy up in the lounge with my book and an Ale from the bar. After a few... More

Two weeks ago, we had the pleasure of staying at the Giffard House in Winchester, UK. After a white knuckle ride from Heathrow, it was a true pleasure to check into our lovely guestroom. After being shown around the place, we retired for nap in a spacious ensuite room. The bed featured world class linens, and the bath was furnished... More

We stayed here with friends so were able to view three different rooms, all of them comfortably and tastefully furnished. Very friendly staff and managers, well-cooked breakfasts, quiet out-of-town location - everything you could ask for. Looking forward to staying here again for a few days next summer before joining a cruise from Southampton. More
