Perfect location, immaculate property
Absolutely beautiful property- really warm and cosy, immaculately clean and very well equipped. We stayed for a weekend just before Christmas and it was a great base for exploring the city and visiting family. Its only about a 10 minute drive in to the centre of Winchester, but you'd never know it as the location of the chapel is so peaceful and tucked away. There are even birds of prey, deer and pheasants just in the garden. The host is very helpful and easy to contact, we will very likely stay again soon!
