"A beautiful historic building in a quiet location with free parking. We stayed in a deluxe double room which was on the top floor. The room had been fairly recently renovated and the bathroom was very modern. If you stay on a Sunday night there is no food available but you can walk along the "town path" into Salisbury city centre in about 15 minutes."

"We were attending a wedding at the hotel and on the day the electricity went off. It was completely out of the hands of the hotel but the staff worked tirelessly to ensure the wedding reception could go ahead. There was no power from 6am until late into the evening but somehow they kept everything on track and the event was a huge success. How they managed to serve such high quality food under the circumstances I don’t know. I’m sure they were all exhausted by the end of the day, but thank you for all your efforts!!"

The Chapter House

"We stayed twice in quick succession, the first room was very small, but the second room was quite nice. It is an 800 year old building so not everything is perfect, but the food and service is great. The bathrooms were clean in both rooms. Parking is half a block away, so you need to plan out the unloading/loading a bit, that turned out to not be a big deal, but not expecting that caused us to spend quite a bit of extra time initially."

"Really great location close to the train station. Staff were really helpful, especially with storing bags after check out. Room was clean, although the bathroom did have a lingering solvent smell, like it had recently been repainted. The hotel itself runs its own shuttle service to Stonehenge which was super convenient. Breakfast was good too."

"Spotlessly clean. Room was very comfortable. For 2 people we did have a room that sleeps 3. I think that would be cramped. But for 2 it was ok. Bathroom very clean and new. Bed pillows are fat and hard. AC was quiet. Breakfast was good. English breakfast or a continental breakfast. Staff are all very friendly."
