We very much enjoyed our night at the Old Guesthouse. Plenty of parking outside and we walked in for a meal in the old market square of Salisbury which took about 20 minutes each way. The only thing is my partner is over 6ft and the ceilings are VERY low. He kept banging his head on the door frames etc.

This was our favorite stay out of three weeks in England! The home itself is beautiful, with tons of character. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Be sure to check out the gorgeous garden out back! The owners mother was always out and about helping and chatting and is an absolute treasure of a human being. ❤️

Nice room, very clean and fully renovated with an eye for details. The owner was very friendly and breakfast was perfect. Definitely recommendable. There is a cosy commons space area as well. Specially when you book several rooms with family or friends, this common space is a Nice surplus.

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.

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!
