Traumhafte Lage neben Kathedrale

Traumhafte Lage neben der Kathedrale. Ideal für Erkundung von Salisbury. Parkplatz im Innenhof unschätzbarer Vorteil. Lift vorhanden. Einfache Ausstattung. Neues großes Bad. Sehr gutes Frühstücksbuffet.

Zimmer im Sommer sehr heiß. Fehlender Fernseher nur wegen der Fußball WM vermisst.

My stay was more enjoyable than might be expected from the above.
Pros:

The location and breakfast were first class.

Cons:

I was in a disabled person room, which meant the mirror and sink were at chair height. The shower drain was blocked and I couldn’t report the blockage and get it fixed until late in the day.

Eenvoudig maar doeltreffend, wanneer je geen luxe verwacht.
Pros:

De locatie, de rust en toch midden in de stad

Cons:

Het comfort is wat magertjes, heeft meer de sfeer van een hostel, maar enkel als plek om te slapen en ontbijten voldoet het prima.

Pros:

It's worth staying here for the views of the cathedral at night alone! It's a really unique place, such a peaceful location within the cathedral grounds. It's also central to everything. The lady working at the front desk was really friendly and helpful. Lovely fresh cooked breakfast including vegetarian sausages (thank you!)

Cons:

Only downside for me was no TV in the room, the rooms are quite basic but it's worth it for such a unique place.
