We had a wonderful stay at The Old House in Salisbury! The owners were incredibly kind and accommodating, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Breakfast was absolutely delicious and plentiful—something for everyone in the family to enjoy. Our room was so comfortable and beautifully decorated, with lovely touches that made it feel both cozy and special. As a family of four (two adults and two tweens, aged 11 and 12), we found the space perfect for our needs. We were genuinely sorry we only booked one night—next time, we’ll definitely stay longer!

Comfy B&B in Salisbury

A friend and I stayed in this lovely B&B in Salisbury. We were warmly welcomed by the charming lady of the house and quickly settled. Our room and beds were very comfy and breakfast most satisfying, even for my vegan friend.

A great deal of kindness was shown to me as a single woman desperate for somewhere to stay close to the court. All around superb. Very clean, just that there was a little dust and women see dust; men don't (laugh). It was great and I will recommend it as a good stay for other lawyers who want to be close to the courts.
