Hotels near Winchester

[brissleboy]

We are due to meet some friends in East Meon early next Sunday morning and want to stay relatively closeby on the Saturday night. We will be travelling from Chobham on Saturday as have to go there first, can anyone recommend a good place to stay, ideally with a good restaurant? Winchester looks fairly close so that may be an idea... Don't really know the area at all other than the odd work trip to Waterlooville.

Thanks in advance

Hotel du Vin and The Wykeham Arms (the breakfasts here are meant to be outstanding) are both very pleasant and are in central Winchester. Alternatively, Lainston House in Sparsholt is a beautiful old country house about 5 miles west of Winchester

Thanks for this, ended up booking HdV as very central, plan on eating Thai food at Bangkok Brasserie.

i know already booked, so there is more for reference for anyone finding this thread... another vote for the wykeham arms, stayed a couple of times, lovely food indeed! The winchester hotel is decent, but the winchester royal is not so much.

Had a look at Wykeham Arms and would have booked it but it appears to be fully booked at weekends for the foreseeable future... so it must be good!

George and Falcon in Warnford is exceedingly close to East Meon. Can't vouch for the accommodation, but food is usually pretty good.

it's generally booked, so I more often use alternatives.

Chobham to East Meon must be all of an hour travelling time! Winchester to East Meon must be at least 20 minutes with no tracffic! Some man maths going on here..........

No man maths at all (I would hope not as an accountant), Chobham just doesn't have the appeal of Winchester and I can't ever remember going there (the plan was to make a weekend of it instead of travelling back to Bristol from Chobham and then all the way back to East Meon the next day).

Never stayed here but this is within a mile or two from East Meon.
