Lovely, pretty and very private room in a charming house. Esme was delightful and provided everything you might need for a short stay, including fresh milk for tea and coffees. The location is excellent - on a central but quiet street in Winchester - so that you can easily reach the Cathedral and key sites and also find very good cafes for breakfast. Parking needs to be pre-arranged with Esme but this was easy and trouble-free.
We prefer baths rather than showers to make it perfect for us but we knew from the outset that a bath was not offered so that is not Esme's fault!

Everything was absolutely perfect, and exceeded our expectations. From Esme's wonderful welcome, to the extremely well equipped room, and all the extra touches that made our 2-night stay very special. The bed is super comfortable, and the shower excellent. Although breakfast is not provided, there is a pod coffee machine, kettle and plenty of tea/coffee options plus a wicked tin of shortbread. And we loved the tiny decanter of port for a late night tipple! Location could not be better; just a short stroll down Parchment St to the main pedestrian area, with many independent shops, cafes and restaurants to explore.
Could not fault a thing.

Esme met us at our arrival to welcome us and was always available to help in any way she could. The location was perfect as it allowed us to walk everywhere to see sights such as Westminster Cathedral and a number of very good restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The room was spotless and very charming with lovely art work, a small refrigerator and a very comfortable mattress and pillows. I highly recommend Esme’s!
Nothing. It was throughly enjoyable.

Esme was welcoming and caring. Really a lovely host and willing to do anything to insure we were comfortable and taken care of. When we checked out, I accidentally left my wallet in the room. Esme went above and beyond to get the wallet to me, by driving from Winchester to Southampton Cruise Terminal and finding us before we boarded the Queen Mary. Now that is true commitment. We can’t thank Esme enough… Mark & Linda
We liked everything. Esme’s is located in the center of Winchester, but on a quiet street, and Esme herself is the best of hosts.

Esme was an absolutely fantastic host, very warm and welcoming and full of useful information about Winchester. The room was beautifully designed and appointed and the bed was amazingly comfortable. The location just a few minutes walk from the town centre with all of the shopping and eating options along with the Christmas Market was exactly what we were looking for.
Everything was amazing, nothing of any note requires improvement at all.

The accomodation is located within walking distance of the High Street and the Cathedral. We stayed in a beautiful blue bedroom that was very comfortable and well set out. Included port, chocolates, coffee machine and pods, selection of teas and shortbread. Esme was the most generous and caring host. She freely gave up her time to help us out when we had a little issue during our stay. We will always be very thankful for meeting Esme.
We loved everything!!

What a find! Esme was a marvellous host and nothing was too much trouble. The attention to detail in the room and bathroom were fabulous - toiletries, fresh milk in the fridge, biscuits, sweets, a good range of teas and coffee and even a decanter of port! The location was lovely and quiet but literally 5 minutes from the vast range of coffee shops, restaurants and pubs that Winchester has to offer.
Nothing to dislike.

The room was wonderful and had everything we could have needed for a lovely weekend in Winchester. It was so tastefully decorated and to a high level of luxury. The location is ideal, we parked the car and explored on foot
There is nothing that we didn't like everything was perfect

Perfectly placed a short walk from the city centre but still quiet and residential. We didn’t use our car all weekend. The room is beautiful and Esmé has thought of everything you might need to make for a relaxing stay. Very comfortable bed and a shower to die for. Esmé is the best host, so warm and friendly. We just loved our stay and would return in a heartbeat.
Nothing, it’s perfect

So friendly and accommodating. We loved our stay there and would go back over and over if we lived in England. The bed was so comfortable, the bathroom and shower were great, clean and everything thought of. The whole room is so well thought out, beautifully decorated and designed for the comfort of the guest. We just loved it. We were directed to the most wonderful pubs and local sites by the owner. Making our visit top notch.
No dislikes. All good.
