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

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.

Friendly staff, lovely setting

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

We stayed in a riverside room which had access to the garden. This was lovely as you could walk to the river at the bottom of the garden. Unfortunately there are only curtain at the window which means that anyone walking past could see in. I think it would be good to put net curtains up to allow you to keep main curtains open without people seeing in. The room was very nice, plenty of space for clothes. We did not have breakfast and due to not having a restaurant, the free transport into town is a great idea, although it is close enough to walk. The driver gave us great recommendations for where to eat too. If I have a couple of niggles. There are no shelves in the bathroom, to put toiletries on and a handle in the bath would be helpful when getting in and out of the shower. The free shower gel/hand wash was lovely. We would definitely stay there again.
