It's not a B&B presently, but it is reasonably priced food, and a clean pub with fresh tasting draught lager. I stayed at the nearby premier Inn, and found it well worth the walk down for dinner and a pint compared to the Thyme restaurant attached to that.
Very polite and friendly staff, amazing atmosphere wonderful food, very clean facilities and a perfectly poured pint. back again today (21st November) Had the smoked streaky bacon burger, absolutely fantastic, giant and tasted amazing, I can't recommend this place enough. Thank you for your hospitality Adam
A pretty cool place nice rustic and all was well a nice establishment
So like me and my mate came down to Winchester for the sesh and as soon as I got here the staff were friendly and proper chill. Room was nice and they were chill with the fact we would be coming back early hours in the morning. Staff were helpful and a laugh and we are definitely gonna stay here again.
Lovely cosy place, had a meal there with my boyfriend, everyone was very friendly and helpful, food was delicious, the colour scheme of the interior is also really nice, was just a lovely evening, hope to go again soon
