Hursley Rooms - The Dolphin - Winchester

We greatly enjoyed being there. The breakfast with vegetarians or vegans was great, you' ll find what you need. In overall the room was lovely and with double bed, a bathroom, an electric fan heater. The service was good, totally satisfied.

Wi-Fi connection was weak, and we had very cold bathroom.

Great breakfasts with appetising food. Location close to both Winchester and New Forest, the restaurant and Southampton & the food in the restaurant.

A little stuffy room.

The warm welcoming by staff made our arrival memorable, but the slow service for our meals dampened the experience significantly.

Quaint Stay with Potential for Improvement

Enjoyed a lovely meal at the onsite restaurant. The staff were cute. Future guests should check for cleanliness, especially around outdoor seating. Room comfort could improve but overall a nice getaway with unique character.

Diverse pub menu

Loved the lovely converted barn vibes and spacious layout. Early check-in was a huge plus!

We loved chilling on the sun terrace and enjoying the lovely garden area . The kettle in our apartment was super convenient for late-night tea sessions, and the pub next door had amazing food! Just a heads-up, the room had a few steps which might not be ideal for everyone, but overall, we had a fantastic time! 😊

Well-maintained beer garden with a bouncy castle for kids. Service a bit slow during busy hours. Nice selection of local beers.

The cozy garden area was a good spot for afternoon tea, with beautiful flowers brightening up the surroundings. The seating was comfortable.

More heating in the bar area.

The spacious ground floor apartment was a comfy retreat, and I really loved the vibrant local pub and the picturesque village walking trails nearby. The sun terrace and garden area were perfect for relaxing and soaking up the sun. The only downside was the rather dull decor in the room, but it didn’t ruin my stay at all. I’d definitely recommend trying to get a fan for the upper bedroom if it's hot! ☀️

Great family stop

So we spent a night here and really enjoyed it! The staff were super friendly, and the space in our split-level apartment was more than enough for our family. The pub right across was convenient for dinner, and the food portions were huge! Only thing was, the burger was good, but I've had better ones before.

The accommodations were family-friendly, with a great playground for the kids to enjoy. We had a lovely time exploring the nearby Mayflower Theatre, just a short drive away. The staff was cute, and the food in the pub was delicious.

In my wife's opinion, there should be a few more kid-friendly menu options available.

I had a great stay, especially loving the spacious double bed and cozy sheets! The mini kettle was a nice touch for late-night tea, though the Wi-Fi signal was weak. I'd definitely come back!

enjoyable city strolls and park views near amazing landmarks

I especially loved the short walk to Hocombe Mead Nature Reserve, where I enjoyed beautiful views of greenery, and the friendly vibe of the Gurkha Museum with a unique glimpse into local history. The cozy apartment I stayed in was perfect for my weekend city strolls as it had a cute atmosphere, though the cleaning could be improved.

It was just a fine choice for a city escape in Winchester with good price-quality ratio. The instant porridge was surprisingly nice when we were in a hurry. Consider checking the breakfast details beforehand to avoid surprises.
