Peaceful and pleasant.
Pros:

Breakfast was very varied for every taste. Excellent.

Cons:

The main bedroom light was poor, and a bathroom light came on and off automatically, whether or not one was in the bathroom. Automation gone mad!
Also the blinds cords were too high up to grab easily.

Pros:

Excellent location and facilities and really good value for money. The lounge that adjoined our bedroom was unexpected but a real treat. Scrupilously clean and spacious bathroom.

A beautiful stay in an incredible location of the Close

Wonderful, in fact I stay here 2 nights every week & hope to continue staying here longer.
Pros:

Breakfast was amazing as was the location. Staff, especially Gary & Khetsi are so helpful & friendly.

Cons:

Dinner being served ( for an extra price) would be really helpful but I understand why it’s not served routinely.

Brilliant hope to come again!
Pros:

Breakfast great and location fabulous. Enjoyed the peace and quiet and comfort. Hadn't realised it was a theological college and the Royal College of Church Music. It was a brilliant stay so close to my intended venues!

Cons:

The beautiful very heavy main doors were too much for me to handle on my own in my power wheelchair... and the rather old chair lift down to breakfast was a bit ancient maybe in keeping with the building but a little temperamental..

Pros:

Magiczne miejsce. Spokój i odpoczynek w cieniu katedry. Jedna uwaga: cały teren dookoła katedry z okolicznymi budynkami jest zamykany na noc, od 23:00 do 6:00! Uliczki zamykane są wielkimi drewnianymi bramami jak w średniowieczu. W środku spokój i cisza, auta nie jeżdżą, nikt się nie włóczy, siłą rzeczy jest bardzo bezpiecznie i cicho :). Trzeba tylko wziąć to pod uwagę przy planowaniu podróży. W razie przyjazdu późno w nocy trzeba zadzwonić pod podany w rezerwacji numer, aby ktoś przyszedł i otworzył bramę. Poza tym, wspaniałe miejsce. Jeszcze nigdzie tak nie wypoczęłam jak tam. A przy okazji, jeśli ktoś planuje zwiedzić Stonehenge, to najlepiej jest pojechać z Salisbury taksówką! To nie jest daleko, koszt ok 25-30 funtów (stan na 2025r).
