Pros:

Staff were great and very friendly, breakfast was really good and had a good variety and the property was nice. There are 2 big beautiful friendly dogs that rome the hotel, which was a pleasant surprise. My only complaint is, the carpets in the bedrooms are very dirty with unpleasant stains all over them. The hotel should consider taking the carpets out and just have hard floors instead. Otherwise a really pleasant stay.

Dreadful hotel and restaurant
Pros:

One of the worst hotel I have been in the UK. The food is horrible, the bathroom is shocking, do not order the curry unless you want something out of a jar. Avoid at all costs

Hidden place
Pros:

I booked this hotel as I visited the area. It is easily accessible from main roads, yet you won't hear the noises of the vehicles. The manager was kindly changed my room due to my knee and back pain. The room was clean and the staff did everything way and beyond to accommodate my needs. I have gluten and dairy intollerance, so I was provided with alternative food options to. If you are a dog lover, you are in heaven, however if you are not, just be aware that two absolutely gorgeous dogs are welcoming you. Obviously they are shedding, which makes the place a bit messy. Overall, the place is nice, but the staff makes is even lovelier.

Pros:

We booked Gray Manor Hotel for a short stay in Salisbury and were absolutely shocked by the state of the room. Cleanliness was completely unacceptable.
1. The carpets were heavily stained.
2. The coffee mugs still had residue from previous guests.
3. The walls were marked with smears and spattering that looked like dried blood.
4. The bathroom was in poor condition, with mould and general grime.

We had also paid for breakfast for two mornings but skipped the second day — the first was enough. The tablecloths were stained, the salt pot was covered in greasy residue, and when pouring water into a glass, food particles floated in it. It was honestly revolting.

The only positives? The staff were friendly and the setting was peaceful. But that does not make up for the severe lack of hygiene. I have never felt so uncomfortable staying in a hotel. We will not return, and I cannot recommend this property to anyone.

Pros:

The staff was great. The building and surroundings was very good. The food was good. My only real complaint was that if you kept your window open to get fresh air, there was a lot of road noise.

Pros:

The receptionists was informative and quick at checking in, the room was bright and spacious, bathroom average, but upon using said bathroom we found that the shower head wouldn't stop where you needed it, just flopped down spraying the taps,which was annoying, we had no milk upon arrival, luckily we had our own, the bed was pretty low down for us older people, the pillows where thin and soft,bathroom floor was uneven.
The hotel itself is tired and needing modifications and maintenance as curtains were falling off and ceiling tiles were also in need of repair, we had to walk round the place to find somebody to serve us at the bar ....location for us was main reason for the booking, probably won't be back.

Overnight business trip.
Pros:

Business stay and this wasn't the type of hotel I would pick. Price didn't reflect the standard of the room which was poor. It is a dog friendly hotel so if you have dogs its is probably OK for you. I wasn't comfortable. Or if you are getting three people in a room it would be cost effective. Breakfast was OK, nice location.

Mixed Experience – Friendly Staff but Hotel Needs Attention
We recently stayed at this hotel and while there were some positives, the overall experience didn’t quite live up to the advertised description.
The exterior of the hotel looked quite tired, with broken planters and many dead plants, which didn’t make for a welcoming first impression. Around the premises, there were numerous hotel-related items such as bins and gas canisters left in plain sight, which added to a general feeling of disorganisation.
Our room was functional but clearly in need of updating. The carpet had seen better days, and the bathroom floor felt uneven due to loose flooring beneath the lino. The bathroom itself had mismatched tiles and noticeable black mould in the grouting, which made it feel neglected.
Breakfast was adequate, but not as described. While it was enough to start the day, there was no fruit, jams, marmalade, or Marmite as advertised, which was disappointing.
On a more positive note, the hotel is very dog-friendly, and all the staff were welcoming and helpful, which we really appreciated. For the price we paid, the stay was just about acceptable, however, had the hotel matched its advertised standard, we would have been more than happy to pay a little extra.
With a bit of care and attention to maintenance and presentation, this hotel could be a lovely place to stay.
