One of a kind accommodation, friendly hosts and delicious breakfast. Perfectly situated 10 minutes walk from city centre but felt like you were in the middle of a quaint village! Cat was a bit aloof but it was a cat!!!
Really enjoyed our stay. Very friendly hosts and liked the accommodation very much. Only drawback was that the wifi connection in my room was unreliable but I think the hosts plan to get that fixed. Really enjoyed the cosy informality. Definitely plan to return.
St John's an amazing house with a quirky interior and a beautiful garden. Our room was very clean and comfy and the shower excellent. The breakfast at the communal table provided an excellent conversation with the other guests and the breakfast was very good. There was parking for the car and the location is very central, thoroughly recommended.

Wonderful host. Very comfortable beds. Convenient short walk to center of Winchester. Highly recommend.
An amazing house and gardens in a perfect location within walking distance of the town centre. Lovely owners and a good breakfast. We'd definitely recommend.
We had a lovely stay here--the room and breakfast were both delightful and we enjoyed the gorgeous garden. We especially appreciated how kind and welcoming Dotty was. The perfect place to stay in Winchester!
This property is over 300 hundred years old! It is a treasure and has AMAZING character. Don’t expect ultra modern conveniences because owners are limited in what can be changed in historic properties, St John’s Croft is a quintessential old English home to be appreciated. Our room was bright and beds and linens were fluffy and cozy. Bathroom was two steps outside of our room. Five minute walk down the hill into Winchester. Nick and Dottie are wonderful hosts. Would stay here again.
The property is a bread and breakfast and family owned. The room was large and the bed comfortable. We were able to walk all around Winchester and see the sites while parking our car at the B&B. Very good breakfast.
A beautifull listed building and lovely gardens.
Only disappointment was no toilet in room,had own but down the landing.bath and sink in room….
Hosts were very nice.
