Our stunning 800 year old hotel is one of the most popular venues for a Christmas dinner or Christmas lunch in Salisbury, thanks to our location right in the heart of the city centre, perfect for anyone arriving by train or bus.
We have limited parking at the hotel, however, we’re lucky to have both a short term and long term car park within a three minute walk.
