Two elegant ensuite rooms in a historic Winchester townhouse. A short stroll from the cathedral, the station, and a rather wonderful breakfast.
Housed in a handsome Victorian townhouse — recently and lovingly renovated — Saskia's Rooms offers two boutique ensuite bedrooms behind a quietly distinctive black door on City Road.
Saskia welcomes you herself, usually with Mabel the dog close behind. The house has a garden, a terrace, free WiFi throughout, and the kind of calm you don't quite expect three minutes from a railway station.
Inside, you'll find thoughtful finishes in every corner: tea and coffee making facilities, a mini fridge, a curated selection of luxurious bathroom products, and ensuite bathrooms finished to a standard we're rather proud of.
No long corridors, no queue for the bathroom, no rushing at breakfast. Just two beautifully appointed rooms — each with its own ensuite, garden or terrace outlook, and the small luxuries that turn a stay into a memory.
A serene double bedroom overlooking the garden and terrace. Soft linens, layered textiles, and a private ensuite with walk-in rainfall shower and curated botanical products.
A bright double bedroom opening onto the garden terrace. Restored period features meet contemporary comforts — plush bedding, an indulgent ensuite, and quiet corners for slow mornings.
Wake up slowly to the aroma of fresh coffee drifting through the house. Saskia's breakfast is plentiful, generous, and unapologetically homemade — served in the dining room or, on brighter mornings, out on the terrace beside the garden.
Think warm pastries, local Hampshire produce, eggs cooked how you like them, fresh fruit, and a pot of something strong. Vegetarians and dietary needs are happily catered for — just mention it when you book.
Step out from your room into a private garden that has, over the years, become something of a guest favourite. Read in the sun. Take your coffee outside. Let Mabel show you her favourite patch.
"A genuinely warm welcome from Saskia and a wonderfully restful night. The room was immaculate, the breakfast unforgettable. We'll be back."
"Three minutes from the station, five from the cathedral, and yet utterly peaceful. Mabel the dog is a delightful bonus. Easily the best B&B in Winchester."
"Beautifully designed, immaculately clean, and breakfast on the terrace in the morning sun. Felt less like a B&B and more like staying with a friend who happens to have impeccable taste."
Once the ancient capital of England, Winchester is a city of cobbled streets, secret water meadows, and one of the finest cathedrals in the country. Jane Austen is buried here. King Alfred watches over the Broadway. Trout swim in the high street river.
Stay a night or three. Walk everywhere. Let Saskia's be the calm centre of it all.
Two rooms means we keep things personal. The quickest way to check availability is to call Saskia directly — she'll happily talk you through the rooms, the dates, and anything else you'd like to know.
