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. ❤️

Really lovely spacious house,walkable into city

Lovely stay, great hosts, cannot fault the B/&B. Easy walk into city via scenic water meadows or more directly along the road. Sadly feeling somewhat ripped off by Hotels.com as it seems they haven't passed on the substantial saving with VAT currently at 5% rather than 20%

Great experience

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.

Lovely, but low ceilings.

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.

What an amazing find this guest house is, a lovely family run business that care about their clients. There has been so much detail given to clients to see and do you will not want to venture out of the guest house. The garden is split in to several different area's but where ever you turn you will see something new, be it a fairy bathing in a bird bath to a hammock hiding behind a shrub, there is plenty of seating areas in all of the gardens. Our bedroom was on the ground floor, very spacious with a very modern en-suite, we were fortunate to have patio doors that lead on to a little courtyard with table and chairs. I can highly recommend the full English breakfast, there was plenty to choose from for the breakfast. Hosts were outstanding and nothing was to much trouble for them. Thank you for making our stay so welcoming, we look forward to returning.

Ein wirklich tolles B&B! Das Haus ist wunderschön renoviert und liebevoll eingerichtet. Das Frühstück ist typisch englisch und wird morgens zur Wunschzeit individuell serviert. Die Betreiber sind herzlich und waren immer offen für ein kleines Gespräch. Die Austattung des Zimmers war großartig: USB Lademöglichkeit an jedem Bett, Leselampen an jedem Bett, eine kleine "Kochecke"...ob es eine Klimaanlage gibt, weiß ich nicht genau aber man kann das Fenster öffnen und es ist sehr ruhig in der Umgebung. Einziger kleiner Punkt wäre, dass die Etagenbetten im Familienzimmer nur 1,70m lang sind und die Matratzen sehr dünn sind. Das sollte man bedenken und das Zimmer nur mit kleineren Kindern buchen. Salisbury erreicht man in ca. 10-15 Minuten Fußweg an einer Hauptstraße entlang oder mit dem Bus der fast direkt dort hält.

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!

A great stay at The Old House Guesthouse. The hosts were delightful and very helpful. The room was nice with a double bed and bunk beds for the kids. The breakfast is served in the morning by the hosts and really loved it. We just loved the entire stay.
