"This is my go to hotel when I visit Shaftsbury. Always a warm welcome. Clean comfortable rooms...have done single traveller and couples stays and can't fault it. Tend to do room only but that's because I dont really do breakast"
"We had a really nice stay, and the staff were excellent, as was the food. Our room was in the oldest part of the Grade 2 listed building so there were some low doorframes & plenty of stairs, but I would stay here again & it's in an excellent location (with off-street parking) for exploring the area."
"An unknown when we booked but were not disappointed with the service (very good) our room (good) and the food (good).
Good place to stop if on way through to south west."
"The hotel was well situated right by the Cathedral, just walk across the road and through the gated door and you were in the grounds of the Cathedral. Covered in scaffolding as the roof was being replaced/repaired as advised on their website,and stood up well to the recent storm! It is 800 years old and there is no lift as it is a grade 1 listed building. As such the stairs are a bit wonky and would probably be difficult for very elderly or disabled people but the friendly staff were there to carry our suitcase upstairs. Room was good, but tv remote didn’t work properly ( not batteries as I swapped them with the ones from the other remote), and heating seemed a bit temperamental, but fan heater was provided so all good. Lamp hanging out ceiling was not good but still worked. Probably needs a lick of paint but as they say they are concentrating on the roof at the moment.
We stayed for dinner on 2nd night and that was super - went for the South African/Portugese Trinchado.
Disappointed with breakfast on final day as it took the team 40 minutes to deliver 1 eggs Benedict and 2 poached eggs on toast despite asking the waitress twice what was happening! Only resolved when the young man in charge got involved - he was very good. Similar thing was going on with some other guests.
No parking at hotel but could park just round corner from hotel, 2 or 3 minutes walk, at a discounted rate for £10
All in all we were satisfied with the majority of our stay but would go back again."
"We loved staying in this 13th century inn.
We were given a room in the original section of the inn - amazing wattle and daub walls, original timber work and wonky floors!
The River Avon flows past the front of the Rose and Crown property.
A beautiful settling and a privilege to be able to stay here! If you love history, this is the place to stay in Salisbury."
