    Pleasant place to stay in spite of the lack of sleep due to noise from other guests

    The parking is very limited and we were told that the nearest available parking is a 10 minute walk away. Not ideal when carrying bags. Shame parking isn’t reserved for just guests staying overnight. As the building is old you can hear everything in other rooms that are below or above you. Particularly if people are stomping around their bedroom. I was on the ground floor and the people in the room above were making noise at 2am. They then woke up at 6.15am and created noise until gone 8.30am.

    Location and atmosphere were great. The pub garden was lovely. The full English breakfast was excellent. Staff were polite but seemed grumpy.

    Disappointing but ended well.

    • King Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    I had upgraded to a king size room. What we got was a room overlooking outhouses. Thanks to a large chimney breast, we could hear every word of conversation in the pub below, amplified - it felt like we had at least 20 people in the room with us. Small things irritated - no TV remote control, no wifi code. Eventually at 9.45pm we were transferred to the room we could, and should, have had in the first place - quiet and with river view.

    Parking easy and the location brilliant. Breakfast and evening meal were good. The bathroom was well-appointed although supplied with minimal toiletries.

    The price, the room was basic, paid less for a bigger room

    We paid quite a lot for our room and expected it to be a luxury room but was very basic for the price. Hotel was nice food was nice, staff were great but very expensive for a standard hotel B&B

    As mentioned above a noisey room but this was rectified. A small car park which I think would not accomodate all guests if the hotel was full

    Breakfast was fine Location in relation to town excellent Noise from central heating pump was not good but the manager was very good in upgrading us to another room which was excellent. He said he would get the problem addressed.

    Wondering if I'll get in car park..... Seriously not a major issue here.

    I started drinking here in 1978, was fairly regular till I left Salisbury in 1992...i still visit 5-6 times a year... And old mill is always a stop. Recent years I've stayed a couple of times... And enjoyed. I will be back.

    The weather for our stay was very cold, -2. The hotel I found rather cold and draughty. The radiator in our bedroom wasn’t working to its full potential and the bathroom radiator wasn’t working.

    Breakfast could have the food out, orange juice, yoghurts fruit etc, you need to ask for everything. However the hot meal was great. Some confusion over the shower in the room I was in, meant I did not have a hot shower and I showered in cold water. The normal temperature range dial only gives cold water, to get hot water you need to push in the safety button and go over the safe temperature range, this is not right, and temperature needs readjusted on the valve. I complained but the manager seemed to think it was my fault for not knowing about the safety button? Also note if you have a car in the carpark make sure it is registered by the hotel or several months later you will get a fine in the post .

    Beautiful location Quaint old building Rooms recently refurbished Good food and bar The quietness Free parking in private car park
