Market House

Market House

10/10 Excellent
"We had a great time here. The rooms were clean, the staff were friendly and helpful and the location was fantastic. It’s on the high street so you couldn’t be closer to the town - I could see the Abbey and Tor from my window. It doesn’t really have parking but there is a council run car park directly opposite and we didn’t struggle to find a space on it."

8/10 Good
"A lovely scenic location with a lot of history. It is has a lot of original features, so fairly steep stairs to access the rooms. My room was clean and had a large modern bathroom, there were quality white cotton bedsheets and a comfy bed. I appreciated the tea and coffee making facilities in the room. The view I had was of the river which was lovely and you could hear it from the open window. The food in the restaurant was freshly prepared and tasty, you have everything on site for a really pleasant stay. It was an easy 15 minute to walk along the tow path into Salisbury. I’d definitely visit again."

The Old Station Inn

10/10 Excellent
"I was so impressed with our stay, we went to the gorgeously quirky pub in the evening after we checked in and felt immediately welcome amongst locals and visitors alike - a lovely community feel. The room was immaculately clean, unlike other pubs that I’ve stayed at and there was a basket-full of bits and pieces for a continental breakfast which was really handy in the morning. The landlord and landlady were so friendly, accommodating and genuine too. Our family of 4 stayed in a room with a double and 2 singles in a little wing next to the pub - no dragging bags and children up the stairs and quiet enough for the children to go to sleep before closing time for the pub. We didn’t eat in the restaurant as we arrived quite late but that looked very well presented and certainly had the novelty factor as a repurposed train carriage. We used the hotel as a base for going to Cheddar Gorge as it was much better value for money and only a 25min journey away. I’m so glad we happened upon this characterful place instead of booking into a generic brand chain hotel. We would not only come back here if we were passing but would go out of our way to come back."

"Great location and the staff were very friendly and attentive. Room was ok bathroom needs modernisation and attention to detail such as more loo rolls and hand soap as not enough for the duration of our stay. Would stay again if the price doesn’t increase as I think it’s high end for what you get."
