“Really enjoyed out stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2010

Just back from a weekend at the Clifton Terrace and we had a really lovely stay.
We were in the basement "family" room which was really cosy and big size. We had our own front door which made it feel like our own apartment.
Great location to the high street, probably 5 mins at the most.
The bathroom was private and just along the corridor (up a few stairs) and although not exactly ensuite was perfectly fine for us and quite charming. Slight risk you might see the owners up the next flight of stairs so just make sure you are fully clothed :-)

Breakfast was served in the lounge of the house which was very very nice.

We really enjoyed our stay but I would point out that if you have never stayed in a guest house before then you might find it very different. If you have and enjoyed the experience then you'll have a great stay.

“Our favorite B&B in Winchester, great views & good location, we feel like one of the family”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 November 2010

We've been coming here for years now, and its still as good as ever. Chrissie and Allan are joyful & helpful hosts and each a real character. There are a lot of stairs in this place, as it's spread over about 5 floors, it's like a personal exercise programme, but that's part of the fun of it, (saves going to the Gym). The views are stunning from the upper floors, over past the town hall clock tower, and on to the wooded Hampshire skyline. The rooms are tastefully decorated, with interesting objects and guitars are everywhere. Breakfast is a treat. Allan and I share a strange musical history of Theremins, John Otway and Wild Willy Barrett – it’s so good to find a kindred spirit to discus them with.

“Lovely”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2010

My husband and I stayed here for a weekend getaway and thought the owners were so nice (Chrissie even gave us hugs when we left!). We were in the front room (a converted sitting room I think) that was a nice size. The bathroom is up a short set of stairs with a great shower (they provide one robe). It's a bit odd that you are staying in someone's home (they live upstairs), where you eat breakfast is in their sitting room/dining room filled with all their things, but it didn't bother me. It's about a 5 minute walk from the Great Hall and 10 to the High Street. It's not accessible as the house entrance is up several stairs. We would definitely stay here again!

“Warm, friendly and helpful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 April 2010

My husband and I arrived unannounced late on Saturday 27th March without a booking and unfortunately the B and B was full.
We were very warmly welcomed, and Chrissie went to great lengths to secure accommodation for us, ringing around until she got somewhere for us.
For two strangers arriving in a unfamiliar city, her kindness and friendliness was very much appreciated.

“An Excellent B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2010

Clifton Terrace is a lovely B&B with gracious hosts and an excellent location. We stayed for three nights and the cleanliness, furnishings and hospitality were outstanding. While in Winchester I became very ill and our hostess went out of her way to quickly locate medical care and help wherever she could. Breakfasts were excellent and the house itself is a truly charming Georgian terrace. From Clifton Terrace it is a very short walk to all the major attractions and city centre. I recommend Clifton Terrace highly, and we'll definitely be revisiting on our next trip to the UK.
