Just a quick stop over but made to feel very welcome. A home away from home.
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.
