The hotel and staff were amazing. The only fault was that the walls for the room were really thin and we were stuck next to a family with a child who was very chatty and made it very clear she didn't want to go to bed when she was induced to do so.

There is nothing negative to say about this hotel. From the warm friendly welcome through to the equally friendly goodbye everything was spot on. Every staff members we met were so friendly and service was of a very high standard. We will stay here again

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
I slept terribly. The pillows were flat and hard, the mattress was uncomfortable and I felt the springs on my back. Why have a winter weight duvet on the bed in August! The air con was directly above the bed, so far to cold to sleep with it on. Bathroom was quite small (room 4). The breakfast was lovely, easy parking and a nice quiet location. I wont be returning as slept so poorly.

Lovely hotel in a nice part of Salisbury just a 15 minute delightful walk into the city. Free shuttle service in the evenings. The staff & the service were excellent. The view from our room & from the bar terrace is outstanding, open countryside, the river & the cathedral. Highly recommended.

Staff were very friendly. Complementary drinks vouchers and also a complementary shuttle bus to and from town were fantastic touches. It’s a shame they don’t offer food in the evening. Lovely location, great setting with the cathedral in the background
