The Chapter House
5/5 Excellent
Chapter House November 2022
"The Chapter House is over 500 years old and has been maintained in Tudor style with original features. When we checked in, we were shown to our room so we could be advised about the somewhat rickety staircase. This was only to be expected for a building so old. We were advised reception isn’t manned 24 hours, so we were shown how to access the building in case we were out late at night. We stayed in an Executive Double Room which was spacious, airy and clean. We had a separate bath and shower which were also spotless and clean. The water was hot and plentiful. One of the reasons for staying at the Chapter House was the excellent reputation of the restaurant. We booked our table in advance and received a confirmation request during the morning of our stay. The filet steaks were fantastic confirming the well deserved reputation. The meal, wine and desert were good value when compared to similar establishments. The breakfast offered a good range of items and was a good standard. They do ask you to order any cooked items the night before, which makes good sense as it speeds up the process. We did arrive during mid-morning, a couple of hours before check-in. We were able to leave our bags in the bar so we could walk around Salisbury, although we expected a more organised arrangement as you would normally find in a hotel, i.e. providing a luggage tag. We are due to return to Salisbury to visit friends in 2023 and will definitely stay here and eat in the restaurant."
