A welcoming pub/restaurant/hotel with parking outside. The staff all very pleasant. However, we were rather disappointed with our room as it had absolutely no view from a high, small window. We had to climb on to a seat and reach across a dress to close the blind and open the window. Tricky. Very little and cramped hanging rail holding also an ironing board, iron and large fan. Narrow desk drawers, two very small drawers in bedside tables and on lowdown drawer below the hanging unit, so we lived out of our case. All this is shown on the photos, so we could have expected it, but still surprised, considering the cost every night over £100. Attractive general rooms but outside space not great.

What a fabulous little hotel. We were absolutely thrilled to bits with it. Very friendly and helpful staff, lovely interiors, very comfortable and well-appointed room (just dropped a point for obvious cobwebs in one corner), very decent food and overall good value. We will definitely be back next time we're in the area :-)

Really welcoming. Weird noise when you flush the toilet. Needs addressing and there is a lot of pink and black mould in the bathroom. The sink taps don’t have hot and cold on as the caps have been removed. Comfy bed. No shaving mirror in the room. Great staff, quiet location. Outstanding vegetarian breakfast options.

Excellent comfy rooms and the beds and pillows nice, modern rooms, had room 33 last night, fixed the broken extractor fan, and all good in that room, got room 44 tonight, same top quality, only issue drainage on shower tray nearly over flowed, so needs looking at, but still 10/10 . Food is amazing here, service and staff Great, really stress free, all bills settled and receipts done there and then, so no messing around getting receipts before checkout in the morning. The chef here is top draw, every meal and starter I’ve had is awesome, and I’ve been on the road 33 years, and I don’t say that very often. My no.1 for staying away for work in salmesbury

The staff are wonderful (they deserve 6 stars!). The only reason we didn’t rate our overall stay 5 stars was because of the ceiling sound proofing and being woken up several times in the night by the people in the room above us which made sleep difficult, even in the very comfortable beds.

My meal on Sunday evening was the best I’ve ever had, and the service by Rula wonderful and friendly.. room was delightful and breakfast delicious hot and perfectly served. Excellent choice the only problem was when paying generally with Hotels.com I pay before I leave home and can use my Keycash points but as Mellor took funds on leaving the deputy manager didn’t know how to use my credit which would have covered my meal. She tried to phone but apparently couldn’t get through. I will be taking this up with you in my return.
