    Was slightly let down by breakfast which didn't match the rest of the hotel quality. Some ingredients not available at time of eating but, by time they had come out we had finished our breakfast.

    Location, decor & high standard of room.

    The room was extremely clean and the scenery all around the hotel was fantastic. The staff were lovely and couldn't help you enough. The little extras that were done by everyone really made the difference and it was a great stay overall. The hotel was also only about a 10/15 minute walk to the cathedral and then town so very convenient location too.

    The breakfast was a disappointment. I was expecting to be able to order from a menu. And the coffee would have been nicer in cafetières rather than filtered. It wasn’t cheap.

    Beautiful setting with fabulous river views. Very welcoming staff and wonderful spacious room with comfy bed. Tea, coffee, biscuits and drinks on arrival. It felt very luxurious.

    There is no evening restaurant but a shuttle service was supposed to be available to take us to the town centre restaurants. Unfortunately it wasn't available for the night of our stay. That said, it is a very pleasant walk into town, taking around 10 - 15 mins.

    The hotel has a lovely exterior and a warm welcome awaits from the reception team. The room was great and spotlessly clean. Plentiful breakfast with a good choice.

    Great location only 15-20 minutes walk into Salisbury. Hotel was lovely and the staff really friendly and helpful. Our rooms were really spacious and clean. We all got a good nights sleep. The complimentary welcome drink was a nice touch. Delicious breakfast in the morning too.

    The hotel doesn’t do evening meals but does offer a shuttle bus into Salisbury allowing you to eat in one of the city centre restaurants.

    Lovely large room with a gorgeous view of the river at the rear of the property. Staff all friendly and welcoming. Nice bar with good range of drinks.
