Best Western Chilworth Manor Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We enjoyed our stay at the Best Western Chilworth Manor while visiting Stonehenge, Avebury Stones, and Salisbury Cathedral. The property was once a manor and has evolved into a comfortable, well-maintained hotel, with substantial grounds and walking trails. The trails could use better upkeep. We had both breakfast and dinner at the hotel; the food and service were perfectly fine. Our only real drawback was that our third-floor room was accessible only by stairs, with no lift. An employee kindly helped us with our luggage, which we appreciated. Overall, a pleasant stay with a lovely historic setting and convenient location for exploring the area."

8/10 Good
"Very tiny double room. Would not want to stay there more than one night. Last time we stayed at the same place, the room was huge. Unfortunately it was very hot; 27°c in the room due to there being warm weather outside. There was a fan but it didn’t bring the temperature down! There was a window open but only a top window so no air came through. Also, the towel rail in the bathroom was heated so it was even hotter in there! The bed was very comfortable & the cooked breakfast was good."
