    Perhaps a bit more signage right at the start for getting into the building to reception.

    The breakfast was phenomenal--the best of my whole 16 days in the UK! There was a wide variety of options available, and plenty for a vegan to eat.

    The carpeted floor in the bathroom was odd and probably isn't the most hygienic.

    Amazing view! Great location, very nice staff and a good breakfast buffet.

    As stated above, everything was very good except perhaps the tariff being a little high for quite a small room.

    The room was on the third floor and accessed via a lift. The room had everything one would need, it was quiet and perfectly clean. The only gripe I have is that it was a little small, even though it was a single room! In which case I think a little over priced at £90 including breakfast. Perhaps £75 or max £80. Other than that everything else was near excellent

    I could hear some of the neighbouring rooms but never late.

    I came early. I couldn't check in but I could leave my bag until check-in time. The single room was spacious and clean. The mattress was of great comfort. The nearby toilets and bathroom were never busy and clean. Breakfast was a hit and the location amazing.

    Gluten free bread would ideally be seeded or brown. Noisy doors at night but it all went quiet about 10.30 and perhaps that depends on where your room is and how close to certain doors. My en suite had a bath but some just have a shower.

    Very very clean and comprehensive breakfast. For example it seemed like homemade fruit compote for breakfast as well as full cooked breakfast, gluten free options and plant milks. If you’re used to hotels this will be different as it’s a college albeit for adults. It is a quiet, peaceful incredible location in cathedral close. It felt safe. The rooms are superbly clean and calm. I took kettle and tea/coffee. Communal facilities downstairs with fresh milk. Library can be used for reading whilst there. On site parking. Feels very special to stay so close to the cathedral in a building with related history. No television was fine for me as I wanted to be reflective. Bed was quite hard but that’s so personal. Extra blankets in room. Overall so lovely

    The room was not warm enough.

    The rooms are not luxurious but have everything you need for a comfortable stay. They are also huge because that is where the students live during term time. The breakfast, also for students and teachers, is fantastic. The location is perfect for getting to know Salisbury. We had a room with an incredible view of the cathedral.

    No issues from me!

    This review covers two one-night stays with one day in between where I stayed elsewhere. All was good: perfect, quiet location in the centre of Salisbury, immediately opposite the cathedral; excellent breakfast (English and continental); easy to come and go (the front door is code-controlled); excellent staff; and good value.

    I had a room with a shared bathroom and toilet which was OK but a bit basic. You get what you pay for I guess.

    Brilliant location opposite the cathedral. Excellent breakfast , wide choice and good quality. Lots of parking and good bike storage.

    Nothing to dislike. It suited us admirably.

    The ambience of the College, our spacious room and its separate area with its comfortable settee. plus tea/coffee making area. The rooms were light and airy and of course the position of Sarum College could not be bettered. An excellent breakfast too. It was also great to be able to leave our heavy luggage on the premises until our departing train was due.
