Hotel ideal para relax y tranquilidad
Pros:

El hotel en general, el jardín, el cuidado del entorno. La decoración. El trato del personal. Es un acierto la furgoneta que te lleva la centro de Salisbury y te pasa a recoger de vuelta

Cons:

Las camas, colchones desgastados y camas pequeñas

Pros:

Pokoj byl dostatečně velký, postel velice pohodlná. Vybavení pro uvaření čaje či kávy bylo v pokoji k dispozici a bylo možné dostávat na recepci i vodu v lahvích. Televize se dala jednoduše ovládat a v nabídce byly klasické TV programy. Výhled byl příjemný - na řeku a do zahrady. Při příjezdu v pokoji ležely informace, jak o hotelu, tak i o místních restauracích. Hotel nabízel odvoz zdarma do centra po 18:00, abychom se mohli navečeřet. Toto jsem velice ocenila. Samozřejmostí byl i odvoz z centra zpět na hotel.
Hotel leží v cca 15minutové vzdálenosti od Salisbury Cathedral a do centra je to pak už asi jen 5 minut.
Určitě doporučuji, byli jsme velice spokojeni😊

Cons:

Jen maličkost: umyvadlo nemělo dost prostoru pro odložení kosmetické taštičky, tak jsem vše nosila tam a sem. Ale to je jen drobnost.
