Most enjoyable weekend. Plenty of places to eat & drink nearby and Esme made us very welcome.

Perfect location for visiting Winchester. Excellent accommodation - nice warm room, really comfy bed, mini fridge, tea & coffee and everything you need, plus some lovely extra touches! Esme was the perfect hostess, very friendly, unobtrusive and there whenever needed. Esme gave us a pass to park in the street or nearby streets - they are very narrow so leave your Range Rover at home.

Location and host plus!

Location and our host. Esme was generous with her time and support and was readily available with suggestions. The picnic basket items were useful. Paper towel could be an addition to this. I loved the responsiveness to the chocolate bar request! What else can l say?

It was very hot and l wished for a ceiling fan, but it probably is not practical(?) under normal circumstances; depends on frequency of these hot spells.

Beautiful , super stylish + tranquil retreat , would love to return

I absolutely loved everything about my stay in Esme’s super comfortable , stylish + elegant guest room. She was super accommodating when I had a problem with my arrival and so warm + welcoming when I did finally arrive. The guest room is beautifully furnished with many thoughtful touches , a picnic hamper for impromptu picnics , a little fridge ( milk + chocolate kindly provided 😊) , blue tooth speaker. The street is also very quiet at night but only 5 minutes walk from the centre of town and lovely restaurants. Esme was always on hand to help with any requests , restaurant recommendations etc but the room felt extremely private.

Everything was perfect 😊

Esme is just so lovely! She made nice personal touches that showed she really cares about her guest's experience.The bed is honestly the most comfortable I have ever slept in. The shower is spacious and powerful. Very clean. And the location could NOT be bettered!

A wonderful getaway spot in Winchester

Esme was a charming and friendly host, with plenty of suggestions for local amenities and her own recommendations. It was in a superb location, just 5-10 mins walk from the centre of Winchester and the attractions. The room was lovely, and very well appointed - as well as the comfy bed there was a toaster, coffee machine, kettle and supplies for making hot drinks plus a fridge with milk for tea/coffee and cereal and room to store supplies if you want to make yourself breakfast/lunch etc. Plates, cups, glasses and cutlery all provided in a beautiful picnic basket. Treats too - chocolate in the fridge, and also shortbread and a decanter with some port...such a lovely touch 😊 The shower was fab, and again eveything was provided just in case you forget your shower gel or shampoo! I would definitely recommend Esme's and we will be back for future visits!!

Nothing negative to report

Perfect accommodation for a short stay in Winchester

The location of the property was perfect - right in the middle of town so just a couple of minutes walk from all of the highlights / restaurants etc. However, it was also very quiet and peaceful.

Great location, friendly host.

Great location, easy walk into town to see sights. Esme is very friendly and cares about her guests stay. Everything needed in the room, milk and biscuits as well as some port were waiting for us.

It is a small street, quite congested with very limited parking. We were provided a map and parking permit for adjacent streets. I left the car on Park Street for two days, upon return it was absolutely covered in bird poop, so be warned. We had several cases for our next destinations, the room is a bit small for the extra bags, although Esme did offer for us to leave them in the hallway.

Absolutely brilliant, completely exceeded expectations

Location brilliant, literally a stones throw away from the city centre. I cant rate this accommodation highly enough. Esme was lovely, friendly and welcoming. The attention to detail in the room was outstanding, so many thoughtful touches that were completely unexpected and very much appreciated. A wonderful weekend made all the better for her thoughtfulness - thank you so much

A gem of a property in a convenient location

Charming ground floor flat, located only 100 yards from the main shopping centre. Esme was on hand to greet us. She's a very friendly lady and has created a beautiful place to stay. The inclusion of chocolates in the fridge, bottles of milk, plentiful biscuits and complementary port were all very well received. The provision of a parking voucher for our stay meant we could park very close to the flat.

Excellent example of a place for a comfortable overnight stay

No breakfast was offered but there were biscuits, tea and coffee making facilities + cafes galore a short walk outside. The location was very central and excellent. The bed and bedding was very comfortable The helpfulness and charm of Esme. Although I didn't use all the amenities eg toaster, coffee maker etc -everything seemed to be available

I would have preferred a bath not a shower . Also wall -to- wall carpeting in the bedroom or polished wooden floors to make it feel more comfortable - would probably have been most appreciated in winter!

Wonderful memorable experience of Winchester.

Esme was incredibly welcoming and made us feel very at home. It was an absolute joy to meet her. The room was decorated beautifully, to a high standard, the little touches made all the difference! Located literally a stones throw away from the beautiful centre of Winchester, on a tucked away quiet street, we slept soundly in the extremely comfortable bed. Everything was just perfect!

Our experience could not be improved on.

Good location and comfortable

Esme’s house is in a great location, very close to the centre of Winchester and during our 4 nights there, we were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. There are lots of options within a few minutes’ walk for breakfast and Winchester has a good range of cafes, restaurants and pubs to choose from. Parking in Winchester is limited, but the parking permit was a godsend and we were able to park a short walk away from Esme’s in a neighbouring street. Esme is very welcoming and looked after us well, replenishing the in-room supplies regularly. The room was comfortable and clean and the wifi worked well.

Although there are facilities for eating in the room (crockery, cutlery, toaster, as well as a kettle and coffee machine), the room isn’t really geared up for that and it’s easier to go out to eat.
