The hotel was conveniently located, the bed comfortable, the choice at breakfast excellent and the receptionist friendly and helpful.

Lovely lady met us at reception and was friendly and helpful. We were asked about a place to eat that evening and offered recommendations. The room was immaculate and we slept brilliantly. Amazing shower and the complimentary drink was a nice touch; we had our Prosecco out on the terrace at the back which has a lovely view of the river and the spire of Salisbury Cathedral in the distance. Although we didn’t use the shuttle service into the city, we thought it was another nice touch. If we’d have had a bit more stamina we might have stayed out and got the shuttle bus back to the hotel!

clean and comfortable. nice quiet riverside location . No on-site restaurant except for breakfast however they provided an evening free shuttle service to the main Market Square area so easy way to get to many restaurants and activities. All staff were excellent. parking was good and free.

Booked two rooms (lads holiday). Excellent value, exceptional cleanliness and facilities. Breakfast was decadent. The free shuttle to downtown Salisbury was icing on the cake.

Charming exactly the type of place you would go to for a wedding anniversary, a quiet and classy place. The shuttle into town for dinner was excellent (there is no dinner on site) and the driver gave a nice commentary on the way in

Wonderfully accommodating staff. We arrived thirsty and hungry, and they sat us down for a drink, gratis, with a gorgeous and calming view of the cathedral from the back deck. Then they offered to shuttle us into town for dinner.

Everything was so good, the staff was friendly and knowledgable and the shuttle to the town and pickup was going above and Beyond! Highly recomended and the rooms were nice and clean.

The breakfast was lovely, our room was fab & we were made very welcome. Staff extremely friendly & helpful. The shuttle bus in to/out of town was a nice bonus

the staff were excellent, helpful and friendly. very comfortable bed

The staff were very friendly and accommodating even providing free transport to and from the city center when the rain arrived. Good sized, well organised car park too. Hotel was easy to find located a pleasant ten minute walk from the Cathedral and amenities. A very enjoyable stay.
