The hotel, staff etc were excellent. It's a beautiful hotel wonderfully situated. The breakfast was excellent. My only surprise was that it didn't do evening meals, so you have to go out to eat, but there is a pub in close walking distance that does.

Great location. Walking distance to downtown Salisbury. Free parking is very handy. Of course, A/C is the main reason for us to stay there. The only problem we have is the EV chargers don’t take credit card or debit card which is very inconvenient because we don’t want to download another app to charge the car especially the app has very low ratings.

A lovely hotel, staffed by people who seem to take great pride in their work. It's a 10-15 minute walk from the city centre, but that's no bad thing, as the walk is pretty (especially across the water meadow) and there's a shuttle bus in the evening.
