The Westgate sits at the top of Winchester’s historic High Street, and puts centuries of history almost outside your bedroom window. This characterful pub stands opposite the city’s surviving medieval Westgate and is moments from The Great Hall, while Winchester Cathedral, the city centre and railway station are all an easy stroll away. Upstairs, ten individually designed bedrooms combine original features with modern comforts, creating a wonderfully convenient base for exploring one of England’s most historic cities. Downstairs, the atmosphere is that of a proper British pub. Settle in and enjoy seasonal British dishes, comforting pub favourites, a glass of wine, well-kept cask ale, or make a Sunday of it with one of their roasts.
