Pros:

Great location, super comfy beds and bonus with air conditioning.

Cons:

A really small thing but tea at breakfast was luke warm rather than hot. Not bad enough to moan about
Everything else was fab!

A beautiful looking hotel
Pros:

A beautiful hotel in a great location. It has a car park at the rear up the side street also
It is 2 minutes walk to some great little restaurants and pubs
The rooms are compact but very comfortable and really clean, with air conditioning. A good shower and drink facilities/coffee machine, including local milk - a nice touch
I didn't eat or drink at the bar/restaurant, but again it looked very quaint and relaxing

Cons:

The room was very compact, with the bed up to the wall and window, which as I was on my own was fine - for an older couple, or younger who like space, choose your room carefully

Pros:

The rooms. The building. The staff. The food. The service. All perfect.
We booked for two nights to catch up with family. Staying at The Salisbury Arms Hotel was the 'Cherry on the cake' that made the whole trip a wonderful time.
Will definitely book again.

And the Bathroom in our room... Amazing.

Not worth the money
Pros:

Very clean and in a good location

Cons:

£160 I’ve paid and the aircon didn’t work in the room ? I have asked this in reception and got told someone will contact me it’s been nearly a week no one has tried to contact me appalling especially when it’s 30+ degree weather…

Lovely character hotel in a great location.
Pros:

Great location right in the centre of town with very convenient parking. Has recently been updated very successfully and has now looks stylish but retains loads of character.

Cons:

As an older property there seem to be occasional maintenance issues and this time the air conditioning wasn’t always working.
