The lounge bar furniture was so dirty you wouldn't want to sit on it! We had a two course lunch. The main course was very ordinary sausage and mash not even good farm sausage! The desert was ridiculous it had a fancy name but it was just five prunes a dollop of cream and a supermarket meringue! I wouldn't have... More

We stayed for two nights on our way back home from a stay in Devon and arrived slightly early for check-in and although they were catering for a large partyat the time we were swiftly shown our room (the four poster) without fuss. First impressions of the room were good with an outlook to the front of the hotel and... More

We arranged this for one night at the end of our Easter weekend and the venue is fantastic: house dating back to 1620 but nicely renovated in a tasteful way with comfortable rooms, bathroom and great restaurant on site. If you want to be close to Salisbury (20 mins) but in a quiet place then this is the place to... More

We have just returned from three nights at the hotel which we visited on the recommendation of friends. The hotel is very near Salisbury but in the most peaceful village in unspoilt countryside. A stream runs through the village which has no street lights and almost no traffic. The hotel feels like a friend's country house. There is no formal... More

My wife and I took advantage of the Winter 3 night break at this tucked-away location to celebrate her birthday. We have nothing but praise for the hotel, the food and the staff. It was truly memorable. It was not meant to be a cheap weekend, but considering the standard of the whole package, it was excellent value for money.... More

We visited this hotel with friends to celebrate a special birthday, and this was a special hotel in which to celebrate it! The location is stunning - Howard's House is set in a quintessential English village in wonderful countryside and is within easy reach of Salisbury. It is a country house hotel with lots of character. We were warmly welcomed... More

My husband and I celebrated New Year's Eve here - enjoying the fabulous six course taster menu with a 'flight of wines' (5 we counted) and we can thoroughly recommend it. Champagne and capapes in front of a log fire started the evening off and we returned with other dinner guests to the fireside to see in the New Year... More

My partner and I came here based on Trip Advisor recommendations, and were not disappointed. On a grey, drizzly Sunday afternoon in October we were welcomed with tea and cakes and a blazing log fire, which set us up for a gentle walk along the stream, and past the church to the lake, where we watched fish rising to catch...

Our American cousin declared it “the most charming spot “she had ever seen. and it’s hard to disagree. A slender spire rises above lichen covered gravestones and the church is full of history, stained glass and some oddities. A polite stream takes you back to the hotel’s glorious garden and pond, where you can sit on the terrace and feast... More
