Telegraph Travel wrote: “There are quirky artefacts galore at this characterful 18th-century public house, from old school desks in the bar to Thomas Crapper vintage loos in the bathrooms. It is situated a five-minute walk from Winchester Cathedral and the High Street’s Regency bow-fronted shop windows.”
