Lovely, comfortable hotel located near Salisbury Cathedral and just 2 blocks from the heart of the town. The lobby furnishings gave the feeling of a country house, with lots of squishy sofas and armchairs by the fire, with books to read, games to play, and puzzles to work. The rooms, while small, were quite nice. We had 4 rooms in this hotel, only one facing on St. John Street. The window offered a glorious view of Salisbury Cathedral (and the days it snowed it was like a Christmas card view). However, St. John is a very busy street with both foot and motor traffic. Rooms on the other side of the hotel are much quieter but the view is not anything to write home about. The dining room is full of tables covered with crisp linens and have a view to a small but quite lovely garden. Nine of us had Christmas lunch there and were quite impressed. The food and its presentation were excellent.
Since a group of 50 Old Agers had chosen the hotel for their Christmas weekend, it was quite crowded for 3 days. Before their arrival, it was almost as if we were the only ones in the hotel. Lovely! A full English breakfast was served each morning.
