Great location, easy parking and the cathedral view was a dream! Actually looked like a painting when you pulled the curtains back 😍. Staff were really efficient and friendly, what a amazing city break.

Great location by a river, overlooking the water meadows to Salisbury Cathedral. No lift, but staff showed us to our room and helped with luggage. The hotel runs a useful free minibus into the centre each evening, to enable easy access to local restaurants. Pleasant bar and terrace. A lovely short break.

Really enjoyable stay. I didn't realise they had no restuarant for the evening, however they do offer a shuttle service in to the town centre which will drop & collect you at a time that suits you

It’s a renovated hotel, the staff are courteous, and the river proximity is lovely. Overall our stay was okay. We are a family of four and ordered the family room which turned out to be on the lower ground floor. The room was dark, north facing, and has a damp smell. There is access to a patio but it is shared with another room and during our stay those people were out and their kids were playing ball. We had no privacy and were forced to close the curtains. The room is not well lit—there’s one ceiling light but it is cold white and unpleasant. The breakfast is very basic—too basic for the price: no kids yogurts, simple bread, and gas and baked beans and some meats. A few cheeses. Only French press coffee, no non dairy options. It’s a reasonably clean hotel, but the windows and the window frames were very dirty. Overall, not overwhelming but also not a disaster.

We had just a 1 night stay, but facilities were great, staff were very friendly and helpful, especially with the evening shuttle service. Lots of parking and access in and out of the city. I didn't stay for breakfast but my daughter said it was great. This was my second visit and I'd highly recommend this hotel for a stay in Salisbury. The views across to the Cathedral are stunning.
