The entry courtyard is adorable as well as the intricate carvings and woodwork in the front lounge area. The hotel is clearly very old and has been added to through the years...making the layout quite maze-like. It was an interesting place to stay in Salisbury, and I think you have to check it out at least once. But, now that I have, I would probably look somewhere else if I'm through Salisbury again. Breakfast was quite expensive for just ok food.

Great location, right in the town centre. Good sized room and the bed was comfortable. Pleasant and helpful staff. Breakfast was good and good portion size. My only critique would be there is no mirror at the vanity desk and the one in the bathroom was not in the light.

Lovely old hotel, but the service is terrible. Twice i have stayed here and won't again. Room was cold when i arrived and ask for and extra heater and they said the room should heat up in a few hours . Bathroom hadnt been cleaned. Bar team didn't want to serve anyone. Not food on offer tonight and even run out crisps. Last time i stayed here the breakfast was cold and very below the standard of paying 16. I though i would give them a second chance. But no improvement this time. Such a shame as the place could be amazing.
