We stayed at Howard's House a few weeks ago and had dinner there with some friends. The setting is asolutely charming albut I I would say the bedroom we stayed in was a little "tired", although immaculately clean. The big surprise was the incredible food. we live in central London and eat out all the time and our dinner was... More

We were only able to stay in this hotel for one night in September, but wished we could have stayed for a week.... A beautifully maintained old stone house , unpretentious but extremely comfortable, looking onto a typical English cottage garden and croquet lawn at the back, the local church beyond ,all within a very picturesque small village. Our bedroom,... More

For a town of its size, Salisbury is almost wholly deficient in good restaurants. Howards House, 20 minutes drive away at Teffont Evias is like an oasis. We lunched there yesterday. Very nice ambience, excellent food and intimate service. This is a traditional restaurant that believes in proper tablecloths and serviettes. Thoroughly to be recommended More

Lovely relaxed atmosphere, only one criticism the room could do with updating, a bit basic we felt. Home grown veggies and a beautiful garden. Staff all welcoming, nothing too much trouble for them, a super... More

We requested a room with two single beds and... More

Nothing is too much trouble and the food is to die for! The village is tranquil and the walks in the Nadder valley are lovely. Well... More

Very comfortable in the English Country House style with well appointed bedrooms. The food was high quality. A superb wine list with some rare finds in it. If you want American style large rooms and Gastropub enormous helpings at dinner - don't bother to come! This is for people who appreciate the unique surroundings in a 17th century building, and...

I find this place an almost perfect retreat in a quiet. Its set in a beautiful part of England and has a lovely garden. The food is excellent and the service is attentive but discrete; its small enough that you really do feel more like a guest than a customer. This is the only hotel I ever return to out... More
