Stayed for one night recently and thought the hotel was excellent. We have travelled extensively and have stayed in many five star hotels throughout the world but this small bed and breakfast hotel exceeded our expectations. The room overlooking the quiet road at the front was well furnished and decorated and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was good and plentiful and the... more

The hotel is in a very quiet residential area, 10-15 minutes walk from the centre of Winchester (the only noise was the occasional train going past, that didn't bother us). We were given a very warm welcome and all the information we needed to get around the town (map, list of restaurants, etc.). We had originally intended to stay for... more

From my first telephone call to the moment we left this stay was a real pleasure. The owners have balanced the need for a high standard of accommodation and service whilst still maintaining a personal touch. Everything is spotless and the accommodation is as good as any 4/5* hotel we have ever stayed in. Breakfast was superb. The walk into... more

We stayed at Giffard House for two nights over May Bank Holiday. Excellent B&B which was spotlessly clean, well maintained and with very welcoming staff. The standards are better than a lot of hotels and the rooms are very comfortable with all amenities that could possibly be required. The breakfast are well cooked and presented in a very pleasant dining... more

All made us feel very welcome. Short walk into Winchester and we were advised of the partial prettier route alongside the flint wall which takes you to the Cathedral -... more

After finding Giffard House with the help from Yvonne we were both very pleased with our choice. Not only was our room fantastic and spacious, everywhere was so clean. The breakfast was brilliant, with lots of other choices if you did not want the full english, I particularly enjoyed the fresh fruit salad and the fact that the breakfast was... more

My husband and I recently visited Winchester and were thinking of staying at the local branch of a well-known upmarket hotel chain (who don’t include breakfast in their rate) but decided to try Giffard House instead as it appeared to offer much better value. It is in a lovely, tranquil location (apart from the trains passing which we hardly noticed)... more

The Giffard House hotel is where I would recommend going to when looking for a comfortable and beautiful stay somewhere around Winchester. Work has me stay in a lot of hotels, the giffard is by far the coziest and beautiful hotel I've stayed in. Peter and Yvonne (the owners) and their staff are wonderful and most helpful people! more
