Any quibbles were lost in the remarkable positives of this "find".

Period school building transformed, with great success, into a hotel, conference centre, study base and peaceful retreat. Located actually in the Cathedral Close, overlooking the lawns with the Cathedral itself as a backdrop. Utterly stunning! Choose your room carefully; ours was a large twin with huge bathroom and wonderful private sitting room. No TVs but excellent wi-fi. Everyone comments on the superb breakfast! No hotel restaurant but easy walking to huge choice of eateries and pubs outside the Cathedral precincts. (Recommend: "The Wig and Quill") Inclusive private parking. We are already planning our return visit to this lovely city with its incredible, landmark Cathedral and this almost perfect hotel.

The College is situated inside the Cathdral Close - a wonderful location. You can explore this woderful place any time of the day or even late in the evening. A good English breakfast is included and a car park.

Nothing really you pay for what you get. It’s basic but comfortable accom. Some of the single rooms don’t have en suite facilities but that’s hardly a hardship.

Cheap and cheerful accommodation in Sarum College. No frills, basic but clean and comfortable. It’s in an iconic location surrounded by beautiful architecture and practically in the heart of Salisbury. The breakfast which is included is top notch.

Mattress of bed was lumpy and not comfortable, carpet in the bathroom was threadbare.

The breakfast was very good, with a very good variety. The lift to the top floor was very handy. Room was very spacious.

Your satnav directions are wrong. The postcode SP1 2PF is the pedestrian entrance, and we never worked out what the postcode for the High Street entrance was. More importantly, tell drivers to pass through the High Street entrance and then turn left at the traffic control box. Sarum College is just a little way up on the left.

Being in the Cathedral area and able to walk into the town was wonderful. The view of the Cathedral as wr came out of the front door was breathtaking every time.

Our room in Sarum College was clean and comfortable with a delicious cooked breakfast included in the price. The location was excellent as literally over the road from the beautiful Salisbury Cathedral and we were able to park on-site as well though evidently that may not happen when the College is busier.

Sarum College is a beautiful building within the Cathedral Close, I felt privileged to stay there. I loved being so close to the Cathedral. There is also a beautiful chapel inside Sarum College.

No hair dryer. Didn't ask reception, though.

The location was outstanding. Directly across from Salisbury Cathedral in a quiet old neighborhood.

The Sarum College accomodations were excellent. Such a charming historic and quiet location, inside the beautiful cathedral close, yet steps away from city center. Easy check-in and parking, great communication, and delicious breakfast with so many options! Good- sized room with comfortable bed and furniture. I can't say enough positive things, and highly recommend this stay to other travelers.

Excellent staff, value for money and location. The free parking and free breakfast were also really handy.

I appreciate the location and breakfast but a high price for what is essentially a small, basic student room.

Fantastic building opposite the Cathedral and walking distance to all of central Salisbury. Quiet location. Great breakfast. Helpful and courteous staff.

We loved the whole package

The Sarum College is a hidden gem within the grounds of Salisbury Cathedral. It will not be for everyone, no TV or Bar. However the location, the peaceful atmosphere and the wonderful staff all add to a genuine enjoyable stay. Our room, number 111, consisted of 2 single beds, a separate lounge and separate bathroom and toilet.

We love the location. The property is across from the Salisbury Cathedral. It was wonderful to be this close to a beautiful church. It was walking distance to the city center. The check in process was smooth and quick. The room was very clean. We especially love the breakfast buffet. Thank you for a very wonderful stay.

I can’t really fault anything apart from the breakfast. Would be nice to have a vegetarian breakfast and some alternative milk. Everything was lovely though apart from the eggs which were the worst thing about my whole stay. They were really quite bad.

The location was absolutely fantastic. The property was beautiful and calm and peaceful. The single room was so lovely and cosy.
