The Sky Penthouse

Perfect home from home. Attention to detail from the host, and such clarity in the instructions, made this is a wonderful, effortless stay

Location was fantastic, appartment was absolutely perfect. Really top 'spec' and Julia, the host, is a brilliant communicator, everything explained fully, with videos, before we arrived. I travelled by train from Kent, via Waterloo, and the train service between London and Winchester is exceptional. The appartment is a short walk from the station if you don't get lost (I did!) but I would recommend getting an Uber as it is quite hilly and dragging cases is not so easy. If you travel by car, all is fine. The kitchen is fitted with the highest quality appliances and every tool, saucepan and kitchen accessory, you could wish for is there. I usually travel with items I expect to be missing (and needed) but this time there were none. All crockery, cutlery and glasses are top quality and the beds are really comfortable and the towels supersoft. We loved the views from the windows and being in a location so close to the city centre; especially as the area is really quiet and peaceful. I cannot fault this appartment or our stay at all and Julia left so many treats for us we felt very spoiled. We had the best time, thank you!

Can't think of anything!

Super location, short 5min walk to shops, including Sainsbury's and M&S for groceries! Very quiet and wonderfully decorated. Kitchen has everything you need to prepare meals and snacks! Julia is fabulous, going above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful experience! Videos demonstrating keybox entry and apartment features are great! We would definitely stay here again and have no reservations recommending to other travelers!

The apartment was very conveniently located to access the town and the Christmas market. It was very well equipped, with very comfortable beds and everything we needed in the kitchen. Lovely little touches like the Christmas decorations and board games were really appreciated.

A potato peeler!!!

We spent 5 nights at the Skypenthouse in November 2023. From beginning to end we were delighted with the many features and amenities. The unit is in a townhouse type building in a lovely quiet neighborhood 5 minutes’ walk from all the attractions of town – the High Street, Cathedral, many pubs and lovely shops and other places of interest. The building, which appears to have 15 or fewer units, is secured by outer doors as well as the unit door, and the host has thoughtfully provided color-coded keys so you can easily figure out which is for the back door, front door, and unit door. Getting in is seamless as you are provided detailed instructions. This unit is on the top floor (floor 3, which is the 4th floor to Americans) with fabulous views in 2 directions, east and west. There is a small elevator, as well as nice, carpeted stairs if you prefer that. Please note that to enter the building, from either front or back, you must ascend some stairs, maybe 7 or 8 out front, and a few more if you go in the back. This rental wouldn’t work for those who cannot manage stairs. Inside the unit are 2 comfortable bedrooms with nice linens. The bathroom is large and has a convenient walk-in shower. Small toiletries and soaps are provided, along with plenty of towels. The kitchen is well stocked with every appliance you could need – coffee maker, microwave, stovetop, fridge and freezer. There are pans, plates, cutlery, all sorts of mugs and glassware. Our host also provided a bottle of sparkling wine as well as candy and snacks, and fresh flowers. The living room is comfortable with a large TV and 2 sofas with many cushions. In some rentals you struggle for a comfortable place to relax, but here you are in good shape. There is also a dining room with chairs. Good lighting is provided with lamps and ceiling fixtures. Wi-Fi seems to work fine. There are scissors, foils, plastic wrap, paper towels, coasters, many hooks to hang up your clothing, a warming rack,

Every little comfort provided. The accommodation was so well appointed the best of everything had been included
