Wonderful B&B in a great location. Parking on site is a bonus as the centre of Winchester is easily walkable in a few minutes. Lovely comfy beds and great bedlinen. Breakfast was delicious too. We would recommend the Croft and look forward to staying again.

Liked: Amenities
Truly stunning property, rustic, wonderfully decorated with love. Spacious, good parking and central location. It won’t suit everybody. My room only had a bath, my private washroom was down a corridor which made my mid-sleep loo break awkward. Plus it was impractical. A working stay for me which meant I had to go out to work as the WiFi was so weak. Breakfast 8:30 or 9:30am didn’t work as I was gone by 7:45am, although a grab and go was offered instead. Being so old, noise from doors closing and floorboard footsteps wasn’t great, although should be expected I guess in such an old place. I saw lots of great reviews and I see why, but for my personal criteria it was not a good choice.

Very friendly family run business. Lovely quirky place. Large comfortable room. Only one thing, would have been nice to have dressing gowns, as the bathroom was across the hallway. Other than that, a lovely stay, highly recommend. Thank you Dotty
