A very pleasant overnight stay. Room was spotless and we were offered choice of two rooms. I would have expected afternoon tea at this level. Breakfast was good but service could be improved. Interior of this house has nice period features.

This was planned as a special treat; we hoped for a 5* experience, and were pleased with our nicely decorated bedroom and lovely bathroom with Molton Brown toiletries. However, it was spoiled by the lack of hot water; no lovely deep bubblebath for us! We called the manager, but it was not dealt with well, we were told the luke... More

Perfect! Our flight arrived early into London and therefore we arrived at Giffard house long before check in time. I had already communicated we would be early and did not expect rooms to be available, but did want to leave our car. Our rooms were available, though, and we were warmly and graciously welcomed. We had two rooms for two... More

Giffard House Hotel is a traditional sturdy English house converted into a hotel. Ceilings are 2-3 feet higher than we've become accustomed and, in conjunction with fine decoration and furniture and fittings, the whole place feels great. It's hard to give a universal comment on the rooms because, unlike chain hotels, each room is different. We stayed in room 3... More

Booked this hotel for 1 night as a stopover whilst en route elsewhere. Would like to have stayed longer! We arrived late afternoon & received a very friendly welcome from Yvonne. We were given a brief tour of the hotel facilities - very comfortable lounge, bar, outside patio area & a nicely appointed breakfast room. Our room was spacious, comfortably... More

Really liked the place. Clean and tidy, and a nice breakfast. The only downside for me was the fountain in the front garden which kept me awake most if the night. I did tell the owner in the morning and she said she could have turned it off, but it was too late then.

We recently stayed here for one night. It is a beautiful, large house with private parking, in a very quiet residential setting only a short walk into Town for sightseeing, shopping, and eateries. The room was very clean, nicely decorated, and the bed extremely comfortable.The owners and staff were very helpful and friendly. The only downside to our stay was... More

I stayed at the Giffard House for a single night on a recent visit to Winchester and thoroughly enjoyed the amenities and the attentive staff. My room was large (particularly for the UK), and the bath room was positively spacious with a deep bathtub and all the trimmings. The bed was comfortable, and the hotel very quiet (even though fully... More

I return to the Giffard House (three weeks in March 2013) and again I'm welcomed home by Peter & Yvonne. Three different rooms: 1, 3, and 12. All special. All unique. All perfect with absolutely no complaints. The rooms were quiet and spotlessly clean. The log fireplace in the sitting room was actively attended. You can sit back, relax, and... More
