What an amazing stay at The Chapter House. Across the street from Salisbury Cathedral grounds and easy to walk to anything you need. The community that works there was amazing. Everyone was so helpful. They all went the extra mile to help make a special visit perfect. The outdoor courtyard was beautiful to sit in the morning for work. Breakfast was delicious. The character of the inn was worth it.

An excellent hotel. So close to the heart of Salisbury and so friendly. Room was excellent, comfortable bed separate bath and shower. Restaurant was brilliant and I recommend the South African dishes. Pre-ordered breakfast which my wife had to cancel the following morning but this was no problem. I will definitely stay at the Chapter House on my next visit.

Checking Find

Very charming hotel, food was absolutely divine, staff are very friendly and attentive. The only criticism is I was in room 10 and the noise outside which I think is an air conditioning unit of some description was very noisy through the whole night.

Character!

Character-filled very old property. The stairs are wonky, the floor is creaky, and the night door (inset into a huge wooden door, which is closed at night) is tiny. In short, you can’t miss you staying in a 16-century house. But it is comfortable (beds, showers), the breakfast is delicious, and the staff friendly.
