    Relaxing stay in luxury accommodation in fantastic location
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Two-Bedroom Bungalow
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The 4 pillows on each bed were all the same and were found by the 4 of us in our party to be too full and firm leading to stiff necks. We found one alternative pillow in a wardrobe which was a little softer so one of us had a better second night! There was no bottle opener/corkscrew but Jiri found one for us within 10 minutes or so. Also there was only comfortable seating for 3 people in a 4 person cabin so we requested a further comfortable chair which Jiri found for us and put in the lounge area which was a little 'cosy' but worth it so we could all sit comfortably. There was no plug in the kitchen sink which made it difficult to wash up. There was a handy dishwasher but as there were only 4 mugs we needed to wash them in between hot drinks! The soundproofing of the cabin could be better as the people in the cabin next door could be heard talking and the gravel driveway meant the sound of cars coming and going outside the front of the cabin was quite loud

    The 2 bedroom 2 en suite bathroom cabin that we stayed in was stylishly appointed, beautifully decorated with good quality fittings and furnishings. The location overlooking the river with the decking, comfy outdoor chairs and firepit was lovely. The beds were large and extremely comfortable with very nice quality bedlinen. The showers in both shower rooms were hot and powerful and the fluffy towels were appreciated. We also appreciated the provision of tea, coffee pods and 2 pints of milk. The wifi was good and the access to the property by code rather than key meant no worrying about taking/losing keys! Jiri the onsite maintenance man/troubleshooter was very helpful and obliging and sorted out our minor niggles (see below) quickly. I would have no trouble recommending staying here.

    Not really specified it was on the fishery. Very noisy from 8am the following morning with a large group gathering right outside the window.

    The bed was super comfy, decor was beautiful. Had everything we needed

    Incredible stay at the Pavillion
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • One-Bedroom Apartment
    • Stayed 1 night

    Nothing!

    Check-in instructions were clear, I met Helen at the estates office 30 minutes ahead of my check-in time. I then met Josie who upgraded us from a 'Butlers apartment' to 'the Pavillion' which was absolutely outstanding! We both had a wonderful sleep in the outrageously massive and comfortable beds. I particulatly enjoyed reading a book and watching the peacock mooching around the rose garden in the morning. I would highly recommend Avington estate to anyone looking for a bit of luxury and old world charm in Winchester.

    The details on the booking.com website were inaccurate and misleading which led to a very disappointing stay. There was no hot tub even though it clearly stated it when I made the booking. Ruined the stay totally for me and my daughter as I would not have paid that about of money (£800) for bog standard accommodation. I have emailed Booking.com asking for a refund as I was totally misled

    Good location
