  • "You can't get much better located than this property."

    It has an absolutely lovely lovely view of the Ichen River and we thought it was quiet, which was a nice surprise. It is on the 1st floor (2nd for Americans) but there is a carport for you underneath so no need to worry about tippy toeing about so as to not disturb the downstairs neighbors and there is no one above and we never heard the neighbor on only one side. Walk easily to anything you need. If you are handicapped, don't book this place. Inside was VERY clean. We only needed to bring our shower supplies (body wash, shampoo, etc) and everything else was there and ready. The electric fire keeps the place nice and cozy on chill evenings. The heat is controlled with a nice new thermostat you can adjust for the radiators. Windows are nice and new. Can't find a thing to complain about! Definitely will be back.

  • "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Winchester."

    The accomodation was very good for our requirements. Good location but you must read the accomodation notes. This is especially true for the limited size of parking space. We would be happy to return to River Gem.

    Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for choosing to stay at River Gem. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would be absolutely delighted to welcome you back anytime. Property Owner
