The Rose & Crown

This hotel is in an excellent location for exploring Salisbury. It sits prettily by the river and i am sure is delightful in the summer. It is a little jaded but reasonable value. We were "upgraded " to a four poster bedded room " but it was dark and looked out onto the main road. I thought the bathroom could do with an upgrade too. . Breakfast was adequate but the evening meal was pub food of not the best quality. Staff were friendly.

Absolutely amazing place hence why we keep coming back . Rooms with an amazing view of river 👏 the staff are brilliant nothing is to much trouble can't wait for Easter break.. Salisbury Town is a 10 minute walk away same to for the cathedral..

We went to Salisbury with two other couples from 30 Nov to 2 Dec and stayed here. What an absolutely lovely place to stay. We found the place very easily and the car park is quite big behind the very old traditional and historic building. The hotel is right next to the Avon river and is in a truly tranquil setting with views over to Salisbury Cathedral. Check in was really fast and efficient. We had booked up on a B&B basis and really cannot fault our rooms 16, 17 & 18. Breakfast was also excellent but be aware it does get very busy and sometimes items will run out but patients is required as staff will replenish as quick as they can. The staff we found were simply superb and really very friendly and I would like to highlight two in particular the really lovely, efficient, friendly and enthusiastic Maisy. She was areal character and such great fun and we all loved our time with her. The other young lady who was also very efficient and extremely knowledgeable and friendly was Abbie. When we next come down to Salisbury we would certainly stay here again and would highly recommend this place. We just loved the small room with the open fire which was just delightful and so oldie wordle and quirky. Certainly give this place a visit and if you do in the spring/summer you can sit on the patio area next to the river Avon and enjoy the views and atmosphere. It is also very close to Salisbury town centre and will take you approx. 10-15 minutes walk from the hotel which will take you through the grounds of Salisbury Cathedral.

Mr Quirke was at reception dealing with someone who was clearly unhappy about something but his manner to me seemed condescending and I felt annoyance on behalf of Mr Quirke who was being very gracious and did not flinch in the least. I rang him from my room later to express my solidarity and turns out I had missed dinner time in the town and also at the hotel. Mr Quirke kindly pleaded with the chef who agreed to make me a sandwich and personally brought it across for me. I was so touched by his gesture of kindness . He has lived in over a dozen countries in the world and the Rose and Crown are extremely lucky to have someone so customer aware as part of their team. Thank you for your kindness Mr Quirke!

Afternoon tea Booked a month in advance with 21 friends . A retirement party. Small Pots of tea arrived on the table and the sandwiches arrived twenty minutes later. No offer of fresh tea throughout the afternoon. Although sandwiches fairly tasty - the selection was not spread across the two tables. So we had to swop sandwiches around. A selection of beige tasteless cakes with scones and economy strawberry jam ( don't think it had ever seen a strawberry) double cream not clotted cream. Had to ask for butter. £12.00 for a large glass of wine !!!!!! A very disappointing experience.

I wish we could have stayed longer at the Rose & Crown. From what little we saw it looked fascinating. The wife and I both enjoyed an excellent lunch at a riverside table. You can if you wish hire a punt to take you up this beautiful river but you need to be fairly agile. Would recommend it, a very enjoyable place to stay, eat, or just have a drink
