This site is superbly placed for visiting Winchester with its many attractions. We particularly appreciated the lovely hot water at the washing-up sinks as our water heater decided to fail during our stay! The downside, as others have mentioned, is that there is quite a lot of road noise. We stayed in August and it happened that our stay coincided with Boom Town Festival. The first we knew about it was on the approach road where there were signs warning of traffic congestion, and we expected that our stay was going to be spoilt by noise and traffic jams. Surprisingly there was very little noise from the festival and we were able to choose our sightseeing to avoid the arrival and departure traffic jams. With reports of nine hour queues to get into the festival anyone arriving at Morn Hill on the first day of Boom Town could have been seriously incommoded. On the day of departure the M3 was at a standstill as 60,000 people left the event. If you're planning to visit in August in future years make sure you check the dates of Boom Town to avoid the disruption on the road - and prepare to be stopped by a security man on the approach to the site if you arrive when the festival is already running.
