Loved that the host made us feel welcome and the apartment was beyond what we could have dreamed - clean, comfortable and the attention to detail was extraordinary. The location was perfect too!

Alison United States

The property was roomy and immaculate and attention to detail second to none. The location is excellent, right in the city centre and just a few yards from Salisbury Cathedral. The beds are extremely comfortable, this is a great find, we will return soon. Thank you to the owner for making our stay so great?

Steve United Kingdom

Everything was perfect. The apartment was fully equipped with everything you would ever need just as you would at home. The kitchen had a great welcome pack for breakfast, snacks, and drinks which was quite generous. Purlins had thought of literally everything (Panadol, dry shampoo, all sorts of creams, and so much more!) and it exceeded our expectations. Even a 5 star hotel does not offer so much.

Bahar United Arab Emirates

Fully stocked pantury and fridge - charging cables provided throughout - Location was as cental as you can get with dedicated parking spot.

William Cyprus

The place, location, host, and amenities provided all exceeded our highest expectations. We stayed over an eight-day period, and can't express how much Nicola catered to every need or want. Highly recommended!

Seneca United Kingdom

A great place to stay in a very beautiful city, extremely well located. The apartment itself is very well equipped to make you feel comfortable in every way. We can honestly say that Purlins exceeded our expectations in all means.

Baldvin Iceland

Fabulous property in a fantastic location. No stone was left unturned to provide us with an exceptional stay. Spotlessly clean, groceries provided (breakfast, snacks, chocolates and even wine) and toiletries too (branded, good quality). We will definitely return, did not want to leave. Nicola was communicative and helpful in every way.

Anthony United Kingdom

Everything about Purlins is top notch. Spotlessly clean, well laid out and absolutely everything that you could possibly need was there.

Anthony United Kingdom

Purlins is an absolute little gem. The apartment is superb and the little personal touches make this a truly wonderful place to stay. Nicola has gone above and beyond to ensure her guests have a relaxing, comfortable stay. All of the furnishings are of the highest quality right down to the toiletries and towels. You want for nothing at Purlins, everything you could possibly need for a few nights away are available. Sitting in the bay window on an evening people watching, or having a glass of wine in the private courtyard (which has a heater) is an absolute delight. The location is perfect and the private parking space is an added bonus. I cannot recommend this place enough and really look forward to my next visit.

  • Hello. Where is the parking space and Is there room for two cars to park please? Thank you. Fran
    The parking space is at the rear. Depending on when you were thinking of booking I could make another space available. If this is not possible then I can always arrange free on street parking for you, happy to help.

  • Good Afternoon, We are a family of 5. It is my husband, myself and my 3 children 13, 11 and 8 years old. We are looking for a place to stay in Salisbury for 8 nights. Your place looks beautiful and perfect location. Would you accept my third child in the second room? Thank you Paola
    I am sorry but the twin bedroom has no room for a 3rd bed. I could replace the chaise in the front bedroom with a child's bed. My only concern for you is that it would be a squeeze at the table if you wanted to eat in often. Hope this info helps.

Purlins has been described as a hidden gem and rightly so. Situated at the front of what looks like a modest property from the outside the inside is very different. This 2 storey apartment has been refurbished to a high standard with guests comfort and luxury in mind. The sunny sitting room has probably one of the best views of the Cathedral in Salisbury and whilst sat in the comfy velvet chairs one can while away hours looking at it and people watching on the High Street below. Situated just outside the High Street Gateway to the Cathedral Close it was one of the first buildings to be built after the Cathedral, some time in the 14th century. In order to protect it's importance it is Grade 2* listed. Not only is Purlins a great apartment, it's position is enviable. At the top end of the High Street, a no through road at night time and a friendly community in the day time. With it's own private outdoor terrace and a dedicated parking space to the rear of the building Purlins is a rare find in Salisbury.
We very much enjoyed the time refurbishing Purlins and now sharing it with guests is a pleasure. We take breaks there ourselves and it is the staying there which has helped us gain such good reviews. By using the space we know what guests need and how the space works. In 2011 we had Christmas there, my husband cooked and shouted out from the kitchen, "there's no carving fork!" Well now there is. It is the small things that make the difference. We prepare the apartment so that as soon as you step in you feel welcome and comfortable. It is equipped as if it was your own pied-a-terre and for the time of your stay it is. We hope to see you soon.
There is no more city centre than being in the centre of the High Street. From the bay window in the sitting room you can view the bustle on the street below and look right towards the Cathedral and left towards St Thomas's Church. All the shops, cafes and restaurants are on your doorstep.
