    Stairwells not brightly lit. Problem for visually impaired.

    Check in was excellent. Even though we were early we were able to store our bags. All instructions re parking, breakfast instructions were clear as was directions for off sight parking (8 GDP per night). Many offers to help with bags. No street noise. Very good breakfast choices. Revisit? Definitely!

    This historic property is perfectly located for visiting Salisbury Cathedral. Our room was decorated to a high standard with excellent quality bedding. The bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. The bathroom was spacious and had quite a lovely soaking tub in addition to a separate standing shower. The toiletries provided were quite nice as well. We couldn’t have had nicer interactions with the staff. They were so accommodating and kind. The breakfast was excellent in addition to an all around quite lovely stay.

    Not a complaint but a suggestion, maybe offer a choice of one or two eggs for breakfast. We were still Full from our evening meal! Breakfast though was also delicious.

    Loved the history and the location. The bed was so comfortable and the room was very clean. We ate in the restaurant and the food was delicious.

    you just can't keep mattresses in the room that are bend like hammocks. We both had back pain after this night. Simply unacceptable. Having old and historic furnature in the room is nice, but beds should be modern.

    the food is excellent. We got some sparerips there and a ribeye and I think both where the best we ever had to now and the pricing is really fair. The place is perfectly located near the cathedral and town center. The hotel is a lovely place, but we could not really sleep well due to the worn out mattresses.

    A number of electrical sockets and light fixtures were coming off. Surprised to have to pay for the 24 hour parking given the room cost (this hasn't happened here before to us).

    Room was very clean, and comfortable and atmospheric. Breakfasts ere very generous although be prepared to pay extra for different drinks other than tea/ plain coffee. Dinner was very tasty especially the South African food - to be recommended.

    There was nothing we didn't like.

    We went here for my husband's 50th birthday. There were 23 of us and we ate in their private dining room. From start to finish it was exceptional. To booking and communication for various surprises to the rooms we stayed in there that evening. The food was well priced and delicious and the breakfast in the morning was very welcome after a heavy night. Salisbury has very few good hotels, so go to this one.

    Historically interesting building in a prime location.

    Fixed curtains meant they could not be closed to prevent early-morning light from falling on our asleep faces. Likewise, the fixed curtains meant we were unable to open them during the daytime to let in more natural light. A small chest-of-drawers instead of a desk would have provided storage space for clothes; the little drawers in the bedside cabinet did not provide enough room. Hooks (like the unused ones displayed on the walls of the restaurant) on the back of the door would provide hanging for wet outdoor coats.

    Friendly, helpful staff. Clean room and comfy bed. Delicious food. Comfortable restaurant. Close to city centre. The history of the building was very interesting but, because Listed Status does not allow change to the old, uneven stairs, they were difficult and dangerous to negotiate.

    Because of its age and heritage preservation requirements floors and stairs can be uneven and care must be taken in this regard. About half of the staff did not know how to smile, even when they were helpful, and this was unsettling.

    An extremely attractive historical property. It is situated directly opposite an entrance to the cathedral area in Salisbury and close to the city facilities. Staff were generally helpful,

    Breakfast wasn't particularly tasty. In a vain attempt to be healthy I opted for avocado and poached eggs on toast. The avocado had no seasoning and was sadly very bland, not tasty at all. My partner had scrambled on toast (again it seemed to lack any seasoning).

    Dinner in the restaurant was excellent and staff were very attentive They dealt with the fact that 3 of our party decided not to show up with a very relaxed attitude. Looking forward to eating here again. The room we had was large and comfortable.

    Parking was a bit of a walk away. Staff were too busy to be attentive, possible understaffed.

    Lovely room, on the main road but quiet room. Beautiful old building, but room was modern and up to date. Restaurant on the ground floor was huge and nicely decorated. Good menu and great food. Breakfast was good and plenty of it. Staff were friendly.

    Groundfloor bedrooms, obviously, but we knew it was a C16th building and the location was ideal.

    Helpfulness of all staff we encountered - very important, as one of us is disabled and we knew in advance that there are no groundfloor bedrooms. It wasn't ideal, but we were given every possible assistance.
