charming quiet cottage convenient to city centre

Hang your Hat is a great place to stay in Winchester, convenient to local points of interest and shops. It's a quiet location, and Mike is an excellent host. The cottage was well-furnished, clean, and the back garden offered privacy and a nice place to eat on a sunny day.

Thank you for your kind review :) We are close to the city centre, an easy walk day or evening, and provide free visitor parking using our complimentary permit. Events in the city can cause pressure for on street parking at times, but there are large car parks close by that can be used if needed.

Great stay

Cosy comfortable cottage within asking distance to station and town centre. Enjoyed walking to the cathedral and environs. Home away from home. After many weeks of travelling was a pleasure to do some cooking and enjoy the garden outlook. Thanks also for the Prosecco.

Charming, comfortable cottage oasis for exploring Winchester

The Hang Your Hat cottage is a wonderful place to stay if you are visiting Winchester. I spent 5 days here for work and enjoyed it so much. It is conveniently located within an easy walk of the station, shops, and points of interest. The house itself has historical character and also modern conveniences, lots of natural light, a beautiful back garden. Mike was an excellent and caring host - responsive, a great source of tips for things locally to see and do. I would love to return here again the next time that I am visiting Winchester.

A classy secret oasis in a beautiful historic town

when we arrived on sunday and was greeted by debbie one of the owners advisers she showed us around the cottage and made sure everything was satisfactory for our stay. The first night we just went to the local inns the mucky duck and hyde tavern both very different but most enjoyable customer service.After a good nights sleep we adventured around lovely winchester a tranquil oasis from everyday life.The cottage was a beautiful well maintained abode with luxury from the start we would recommend the sauna and evenings in the courtyard with your favourite tipple.I would like to thank Nigel for all his help throughout the week and would recommend this property to any travellers looking for a romantic hide a way .

Perfect Stay

Mike is an accommodating and responsive host. He responded promptly to inquiries and changes of plans on our side. And he left a welcome bottle of bubbly that was quite welcome, as well as good wood that burns excellently in his fireplace. The property is at least as good as the photos, which don’t capture the true charm. The location couldn’t be better. We would return again.

Hang Your Hat Cottage - Winchester

A lot of thought has gone into this cottage. It is well maintained, well equipped & ideally situated for the short walk into the city centre. Mike the owner was very helpful & informative. Parking can be a little pot luck but was not an issue for us. Will definitely consider a return.

Great property for a couple

Lovely little cottage with lots of little extras provided including bath robes and prosecco! Great location as walking distance to the centre of Winchester and lots to do in the surrounding area. Unfortunately we didn't get the weather to enjoy the lovely courtyard garden.

Amazing cottage!

Lovely touches, squeaky clean and very comfortable. We were exceedingly lucky to have found Mike’s place, it was light and airy, had everything we needed and was within easy walking distance of all that we wanted to do in Winchester. We’ll definitely stay there again when we come back to Winchester!

Delightful

We were a little wary of going away during the current COVID situation, but the cottage is cosy and full of character, well presented and very welcoming that any concerns dissipated. It is a short meander into the centre Of Winchester, a pretty market town with delightful walks and restaurants. The absolute icing on the cake for us though was the kitchen and garden. The kitchen has a very plentiful supply of everything you will need to start to relax instantly. The garden is an absolute oasis of calm to sit with morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. We will definitely stay here again on our next visit to Winchester.

Fantastic place, everything you could possibly need, magical shower and steam room, huge kitchen with well stocked utensils, plates, pans etc. Lovely patio area and garden with table and chairs to eat, drink and look up at the stars.

Quirky but homely

A quirky little place but certainly not lacking in the home comforts. Lots of nice touches (count the hats!) and thoughtful extras (eggs, milk, fizz, brollies, shopping bags etc). All in all a wonderful place to stay

A perfect place in Winchester

This is a most beautiful property in Winchester. Close to the train station and easy walking distance into the city. The house has absolutely everything you could need and so much thought has gone into the decor. The back patio/garden is so private and lovely to sit in especially in the evening. The bed was so comfy. The property on arrival was spotless and we managed to park close to the house. I would highly recommend this property and if we are ever in Winchester we will stay in "Hang Your Hat".

All around, excellent. Perfect location too!

Beautiful cottage, slept my buddy and I comfortably in separate rooms. Great single bed available the guest room that is not pictured. Garden and terrace are amazing. Kitchen is perfectly stocked. Coffee. Mike has thought of every detail. And the location. Literally a 5 minute walk to train station. Very close to town as well, maybe 7-8 minutes.
