"The linen was crisp and the mattress felt enticingly expensive"

“The rooms are exquisitely decorated and furnished with great attention to detail.”

"Exemplary - one of the finest bed and breakfast establishments in Salisbury"

“Nothing was too much trouble for the owner, I would have no hesitation in recommending St Anns hotel to anyone visiting Salisbury. Very comfortable, very quiet, just what I was looking for.”

“This bed and breakfast in the centre of Salisbury is perfect. I only stayed over one night , but would happily have stayed more. First the basics are right: It's a clean, comfortable and quiet place, which guarantees a good night's sleep.”

“Perfectly located - away from the noise of a Saturday night in the town centre but close enough for walking everywhere. Michael was a wonderful and thoughtful host and the breakfast was one of the best we've ever had (he went to the trouble of preparing a special vegetarian breakfast for my partner).”
