Top 10 hotels in Salisbury, United Kingdom

August 6, 2022 Timmy Ribble

If you saw Chevy Chase's masterpiece European Vacation, you'll recognize Stonehenge's massive formation. (As a citizen of the world, you should recognize Stonehenge anyway.) The prehistoric stone circle is eight miles from Salisbury, and its visitors provide a boost to the local economy. With a history dating back over 5,000 years, there is no shortage of significant places to visit in and around Salisbury. On the "must see" list are Salisbury Cathedral, Longleat and Stourhead gardens (and Stonehenge, of course).

Awful suite

Reviewed By G7349KAjohnm

Holes in the net curtains in the suite, TV remote not working, hotel in a general state of disrepair, dirty tables in the restaurant, torn umbrella on the patio. Bacon and sausage saved from the servery presumably for the next day! everything else disposed of. Absolutely shocking.

Amazing stay

Reviewed By Sarahq1825

The hosts were lovely. The room was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and spacious. Great to have the garden areas to use too. The breakfast was fantastic and all the produce used were high quality and the selection was great. Highly recommend and will definitely return.

Great

Reviewed By Rutituti

A real little gem. Stayed just the one night. The room was slightly on the small side, but wasn't there to sit in it all day or night, so didn't affect the stay one bit. Very clean, everything you need. Great breakfast and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend and stay again. Didn't have drinks, but the parlour looks really nice and would like to try a cocktail or two another time.

Reviewed By Willyboy783

We ended up at The Merchant’s House at the very last minute. We had booked a different hotel which was a such a poor standard we left after 10mins. This was the Jubilee bank holiday so we weren’t sure we could get in anywhere! After phoning a few places we found that the Merchant’s house had vacancies. From the moment we entered the hotel we were impressed with the friendly service. Ok , the rooms aren’t large but everything was there. The room was clean and well maintained. Breakfast was really good, fruit yoghurt, pastries, full English and the best bit,eggs of any sort cooked to order. The best thing about this hotel is the staff. Really friendly and accommodating. I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel.

Closing the Book on the Chapter House - They're Anti-Solo

Reviewed By H5075LNpaulh

I am a solo traveler, and came in planning to order a ribeye steak after looking at the menu outside. I asked for a table for one from the bartender. With an uninviting look, he said that he wasn't sure that anything was available. While nearly full, I did see an available small table in one of the main dining areas. The bartender though said that they're mostly booked up and offered this non-descript, un-elegant table next to the bar - literally the worst table in the house. I could tell that he was not into my business. It was also a time that was AFTER the dinner rush. I said, "are you sure you don't have a [regular] table, I was going to order a steak." No comment. Is it my imagination, or do many English restaurants have an aversion to solo travelers? In any event, I declined their least desirable table ("an offer I'd have to refuse") and walked out the door. So, while I'm sure they have great food, though unfriendly service, I'm going to have to close the book on Chapter House due to their seeming prejudice against solo diners.

King's Head Inn

The site of this Wetherspoon pub has been occupied by an inn since the 15th century. By c1520, it was known as the King's Head, and it retained that name until it was rebuilt in the 1880s. The County Hotel was, itself, a change of name some time during the 1880s or 1890s. Before then, it was the Kings Head and Brewery. We have 33 individual bedrooms. All of our rooms are en suite and include tea- and coffee-making facilities, air conditioning, a hair dryer, TV and free Wi-Fi, also available in the pub. Due to our central location, we do have a limited number of quiet rooms available so please telephone in advance to request one. We have no onsite parking but there is a city centre car park we recommend that is only a 3-5 minute walk away. You are able to stop on the pub entrance to unload your luggage before you go and park.

I liked this bar and hotel

Reviewed By Beswetherick

I stayed at the King’s Head several nights and had two breakfasts and two meals in the pub below, as well as a few drinks. Both the hotel part and the pub were better than I expected. In fact, this was the best Wetherspoon bar I’ve been to, though the first of their hotels I've stayed at. Wetherspoon’s are always the hardest places to review. You have to give them significant credit for offering food and drink at such friendly prices; but inevitably that means compromises. As the menus and prices are similar in all this chain’s pubs, the differences are often down to the particular management and staff in each branch. I felt that the staff in this one were a great part of why I chose to eat and drink here. Good at their job, hard-working, friendly, and a credit to the company. They checked my food, kept the surfaces clean and the place ticking over efficiently. Occasionally over-long queues built up at the bar, though, probably down to staff shortages. * My food, as at all Spoons I’ve eaten at, tended, with the exception of the pizza, to be lukewarm in places. Which is a pity, because the Freedom Breakfasts I had were otherwise OK, as was the lasagne, which, to be fair, came with a bowl of hot chips. The pizza had good flavour but was soft, meaning I couldn’t eat slices of it by hand, which I prefer. That all said, these meals were priced remarkably reasonably. The real ales sold here were terrific and half the price of similar elsewhere--for example over the road at Bishops Mill. Another reason why Wetherspoon deserve respect. The number of pensioners and students drinking at the King’s Head tells its own story about the value on offer. Another thing I admire about Spoons is the contribution they make to the architectural heritage of their properties. The King’s Head is a stunning building in ochre sandstone, set on a corner with the River Avon running round it. Customers can sit outside in these pleasant surroundings, or inside in a high, balconied hall with many retro-cool artistic features. * The hotel section is in a slightly different category from the pub, because though its rooms are a good price for Salisbury, there are other national hotel chains that come cheaper, such as (if you book early) Travelodge. But for £70 a night I loved my little single-bed room up in a corner gable, even if I caught a cut forehead from banging it on the rafter which angled down between the bed and the window. I’ll bring a hard hat next time. The room was quiet, with a gorgeous view over the river to the old mill, and even had a bath. The towels were missing so I had to go and ask for some at the desk. Other than that, I had a great stay, no complaints.

Extremly old, disgusting hotel

Reviewed By bambue

This hotel is extremly old and not kept well in shape. We booked the best room and everything hundred years old and worn down. It's more than shocking and disgusting. We just left again. It is not acceptable. The room was dirty, there was toiled paper in the toilet, stains on the bed linen and the color from the window was falling of. There is no sign of a 4 star hotel and it smells very old. A couple before us at reception complained as well. The lady at the reception was very kind. We could leave and the paid amount will be refunded. This hotel must be renovated otherwise we do not recommen it in any way.

Lives Up To Its Claims

Reviewed By CarolSomerset

We really enjoyed our stay. As other reviewers say, the apartment was very clean and well designed. We lacked for nothing. Kitchen facilities excellent and the bathroom had plenty of space for our toiletries etc. - unlike many hotels. The two lady staff we met were very pleasant and helpful - thank you ladies. It's about a 10 min. walk into the centre, depending which way one takes but there is also a good bus network in Salisbury going in all directions. The parking was a bonus - be sure to register your car for your whole stay. We will definitely stay here again. Shame there isn't a national chain of Peartree apartments!

Friendly Staff and Comfortable Stay

Reviewed By kazshrosbery

We stayed here for I night, the room was ready when we arrived at 2.40 and were greeted by Gemma who was friendly and helpful in organising our evening meal and breakfast time slots. We were in the annex, which looks newer than the main reception building, the room 310 was on the second floor and was spotlessly clean, beds comfortable and had everything we needed for an overnight stay, The only fault I could find was the food at breakfast was not as hot as I would have liked, and they didn't have decaffeinated coffee in the rooms or at breakfast.

Stay away from this rundown, overpriced dump! We booked a twin bedded room and were given a double—with only one bedside table—lighting and decor are awful—no fridge in room, no a/c just a noisy table fan—4 star price for 1 star accommodation—and tacking on a 5£ parking fee after charging 150£ for a dumpy room only added insult to injury!
