Recent accolade from a group visiting from France:

"Everyone in Winchester was so kind and helpful that I must thank you all. Thank you for suggesting that we have lunch at the Cathedral Refectory. The people at the Refectory could not have been more pleasant and helpful. We had a most enjoyable lunch with time over to visit the cathedral and to go sales and gifts shopping. We left Winchester with very pleasant memories of our brief visit."
