No hot water or heating. Despite attempts to fix the problem by the hotel, we had to check-out and find alternate accommodation. We understand boiler issues happen, but when the staff were questioned about it they were insistent there was not an issue. We did subsequently receive a refund for our booking and the Owner/Director did later acknowledge that there was a problem and sorry we had to endure the consequences.

Staff were lovely. Room very clean. However, due to the age of the hotel, our bedroom windows did not close and the traffic was very noisy all night as it overlooked a main road. We also could not adjust the heating settings, as the dial was fixed. Breakfast was great, location fabulous, style very quaint.

The Chapter House was amazing. You can feel the history of the place when you visit. The modern comfort and cleanliness in such an old and historic building is nothing short of brilliant. The two rooms were furnished beautifully. Dining on site was delicious and the staff were lovely. I could see Salisbury Cathedral’s spire from my window and the cathedral is just a few short minutes walk away.

Entrance via noisy bar/restaurant but quiet in the room, which was comfortable but too hot. Excellent location just outside the cathedral close. Good breakfast selection, nicely cooked, but served on cold plates.

It is an old hotel (antique in fact giving it’s been operating for 800 years), so no wall are straight, floors are uneven, hallways are narrow, and there is no elevator. But the conditions are ell kept, and the staff is extremely pleasant and helpful. We would definitely stay there again

The rooms are old but quite charming and the amenities in the room were the same you'd expect at any hotel. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The included breakfast was fantastic. We also sat down in their restaurant for dinner and I can honestly say it was one of the best we had all around England!
