Top Hotelempfehlung
Pros:

Das Zimmer war super sauber und die Matratzen sehr gemütlich. Es gab ein top Frühstück. Man ist in kurzer Zeit an der Kathedrale zu Fuss, wer möchte wird aber auch in die Stadt gefahren und abgeholt. Wir hatten eine Reifenpanne und sind ausserordentlich unterstützt worden eine Werkstatt zu finden. Es gibt genügend Parkplätze vor dem Hotel. Wir würden mehr Sterne als 10 vergeben wenn das möglich wäre.

Lovely location and hotel garden at walking distance of Salisbury Cathedral.
Pros:

The location is brilliant and the garden is fantastic.The staff was very friendly and helpful. There is a shuttle bus to and from the hotel (only available in the evening I believe), which is very handy.

Cons:

The breakfast was mediocre at best. The room was okay, the bathroom layout slightly awkward.
