Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was ideal, right in the heart of Amesbury near Stonehenge, offering easy access to local attractions. The room was decently priced, and though the front room was a bit noisy, the four-poster bed and spacious ensuite bathroom were lovely. However, the service had its ups and downs, with a slow start but later exceeding expectations with exceptional assistance. The dining experience was a hit or miss with good variety but sometimes chaotic service. Overall, a decent stay with a few hiccups.
The hotel is located in the center of Amesbury town, surrounded by restaurants and pubs, making it a great spot for exploring the area. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and had a lovely full bathroom with a bathtub, but they were a bit far apart from each other. The service was full of character and the staff was very helpful and polite. The dining experience was a bit disappointing with warm pre-cooked food, but there were some good variety items available. Overall, a convenient stay with friendly staff and nearby facilities.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and bad experiences. The room had a moldy smell, but it was clean with a comfortable bed and typical facilities. The breakfast service was a bit chaotic, with some staff members being unhelpful, but the continental breakfast was decent. The location was noisy at night but historically rich and conveniently located. Unfortunately, dining options were limited, and the lack of food availability was disappointing.
