The hotel is in the most tranquil location while the shopping and tourist district of Salisbury City centre is easily accessed via a beautiful 10 minute walk through Harnham Meadows. we came here to see the swan, the old historical building and for some pub grub. A beautiful spot located on a river, with pleasant country walkways to walk along to reach the historical salisbury cathedral. We had some food - which was very nice and we warmed up very gratefully near the open fireplace. My husband had ham, egg and chips which he loved and I had a delightful hearty chicken, ham and leek pie with vegetables and chips.

After a 20+ minute wait, it all arrived together with the rationale 'we didn't know if you wanted the bar nibbles first or not, so we just brought it all together'. Just ask me - is that so hard? The scampi (all 7 pieces) were very disappointing and obviously frozen from a packet, not fresh. It was entombed in rock hard crumb coating and was wet and soggy inside (some even released a flood of watery liquid when cut open). The chips (also from frozen) were tasteless and pale. I could have had the same, courtesy of Iceland foods, for a fraction of the price. Service, while pleasant, was slow. In short, overpriced and underwhelming.

If you have mobility issues, let them know at booking time- as there would be great difficulty with the stairs & hallways if you had walking or balance issues. (Hint: Room #1 is larger and next to the front & the pub.) Clean room, modest furnishings, a bit worn, but clean. The bath had a small stand up shower, but the water was hot after a long day. TV, hairdryer, clothes iron, water kettle & tea service - all provided. Also the location is very close (short walk) to the city center and Salisbury Cathedral, with lots of eating & pub options. Morning breakfast buffet (extra) was good & filling, with hot fresh eggs, meats, cheeses, beans, toast, jellies/jam, juices, teas & coffee. Worth the dosh in my humble opinion. The bar was a nice snuggery, but the selection was limited in offerings. Go for convenience & location, and if the weather is good, eat in the courtyard and pet the feral but friendly black cat that roams the hotel. Overall, it wasn't a bad visit, and I'd probably stay again, but I'd much prefer a larger room in future. Recommended, but with care on room selection, B+

Built around a large, early 19th Century house, rooms in the old house have traditional decor (some with 4-poster beds) whereas most of the rooms (a mix of doubles and twins) are in a modern annex, and are laid out with standard modern hotel layouts. These have TV, bathrooms with baths and showers, tea/coffee making facilities and controllable heating and air-conditioning. The decor is a little dated but in good condition. Our room was clean, and had comfortable, if slightly springy, beds. The shower was excellent and there was always plenty of hot water. There's a restaurant and function room in the newer extension and a comfortable bar located in the original house. There's a small Spa suite, which we didn't use. But we had dinner as part of a group which was perfectly good; breakfast was a buffet, with a reasonable selection of cereals, strong coffee, and (for a buffet) a good quality cooked breakfast (excellent mushrooms and sunny-side fried eggs). Staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall, for the price, I'd happily stay here again. The only downsides were that the car park is small, and filled up quickly (a few of our party had to park off-site a short distance away); and although the WiFi speed was reasonable (35 Mbps), the signal kept dropping in and out in our room.

So overall it's well kitted out. Ball-and-claw bathtub with bubbles and jets (never seen that combination before), as well as a spacious shower and lots of natural light. We had a good breakfast with all that you could desire from Continental to American options, and the local options in between. Remember Wiltshire means bacon so you have to have some !

Coaches usually arrive in Salisbury around midday, discharge their passengers at St. Anne's Gate, and usually allow them 90 minutes in the city. So, it follows that, if you'd rather eat than look around the Cathedral, you need somewhere close, and the White Hart Inn, about 200 metres away, fits the bill perfectly. We found the carvery lunch most suitable for our purposes. They start serving at 12.30, which gave us ample time for a drink and a chat in the bar before lunch. The choice on this day was lamb, turkey or both. We found the lamb a little gristly, but not enough to complain about but the turkey more than made up for it. The vegetables were steamed just the way I like them; warm, but still al dente. You have the option of a starter or a dessert, if you wish; prices are based on how many courses you want. But, we just had the main course, for none of us like a full, 3-course meal through the day. So, if you only have a short stay in Salisbury, the White Hart is certainly worth considering for a quick, reasonable, inexpensive meal.

While this is an older property that could use some updated touches, the key here is the location. Right in the center of town, which has very limited parking, near the cathedral and the town shopping center. Yes, you don't get all of the modern touches in the rooms, no A/C could be an issue late in the summer season, but, the location is center city and the hotel has it's own parking lot. This hotel, for it's age is clean and well maintained. One additional note: The hotel staff was very attentive, Morning and evening meals were included for our group.

So, most pubs offer food and, again, each pub tries to outdo the competition. What remains? Atmosphere? That is certainly a big selling point, but, in Salisbury, there are more pubs with the 'olde worlde' ambience than you can shake a stick at. The 'New Inn' scores with its secluded beer garden, a quiet retreat that makes you forget the city is only a pace away. And, there's a great view of the Cathedral; a nice place to meet, and sit and have a leisurely drink with friends on a sunny afternoon. And, what if it isn't sunny? Well, the atmosphere inside is just as welcoming and, although I can't speak for the food I didn't have any the beer (Badger Brewery) is excellent.

Unfortunately, we had the worst night's sleep of our week long trip. I booked The Legacy Rose and Crown several months in advance of our trip, and when we checked in, we were told there was a party taking place that night. When we returned to our hotel after dinner and went up to our room, it seemed that we were located directly above the restaurant where the party was being held. Although the music was right in line with my tastes, we were really hoping for a good night's sleep since we had to be on the road at 7AM, but sleep wasn't to be had since the music continued until midnight. I pulled my ear plugs out of my bag and turned on a noise machine, but even that wasn't enough to block out the pounding bass. Honestly, the hotel should not have even rented room we were in on that date considering the noise below. If we had stayed at this hotel on a different night, I think our experience would have been much better - it's clean, pretty, and convenient to the cathedral and other sites. The staff was very friendly and gave us bagged lunches since we were checking out before breakfast. I wish I could leave a better review, but since the primary purpose of a hotel is to provide sleeping accommodations and we weren't able to get much sleep, two stars it is.
