“Good, but not quite perfect”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

We stayed for 2 nights over the August Bank Holiday Weekend, and thought Spire House was lovely. John was extremely welcoming when we first arrived and advised us where to park. We stayed in the room on the first floor at the front of the house and we had a lovely bay window making the room really light, but also a bit of noise from the road - thankfully not too much. Spire House is in a brilliant location for getting around Salisbury and we found some fantastic pubs and restaurant over our weekend there.

The first issue we came across with the room was the en-suite, if you can call it that. It's very small, a bit musty smelling, the shower is about as powerful as a dribble and the toilet makes a very loud noise when you flush it. The room itself was lovely, the bed a wee bit squeeky, but overall good.

The second issue we had was with the breakfast set up. The breakfast was just lovely, such a good selection of foods and drinks, but we were not too happy that we were sat right next to the other guests. The B&B was full when we stayed so it meant sitting at the one table with 8 other guests over breakfast, most of whom were very loud talkers and we felt like we couldnt just sit and relax, we heard all about their previous night at a wedding and what they were doing for the rest of the weekend. We would have preferred seperate tables for breakfast.

Other than that, John and Lois could not have been nicer. They are both warm, charming hosts, that would bend over backwards to please their guests.

“Wonderful Weekend Getaway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 January 2012

I chose Spire House for our stay in Salisbury during the Christmas season. Lois and John were extremely helpful with my questions about transportation to and from Salisbury and we were able to travel quite efficiently thanks to their help. The Spire House is charming and comfortable without being stuffy. Cooked to order breakfast was wonderful and vegetarian friendly, and the dining room provided an excellent platform to linger over coffee and chat with the other house guests. Lois provided excellent suggestions for dinner and walks. I strongly recommend this B&B if you are visiting Salisbury and nearby Stonehenge!

“Goes the extra mile”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 December 2011

So pleased that we picked Spire House for our stay in Salisbury last month. The room was lovely (4 poster bed and fantastic bay window with window seat) and the hosts were very friendly and knowledgable. I was particularly impressed with the breakfast, lots of choice and alternatives to the full English and a lovely fresh fruit salad, 5 star. For the price of the room I was expecting this b&b to be good-very good, my expectations were exceeded. Would definitely stay here again.

“Well done!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 December 2011

Lois and John Faulkner welcome guests warmly without being intrusive. The house has an air of relaxed efficiency; the rooms are clean, comfortable and attractively presented with character. Spire House is conveniently sited and our hosts were concerned that we had our bearings. Breakfast was splendid and we were sorry that we could only stay for one night. Lois and John have judged things very well and it was a pleasure to stay with them.

“Fabulous welcoming place!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 November 2011

Friendly host Lois and John went out of their way to make our stay thoroughly enjoyable. Lovely room with fab four-poster bed, a few minutes walk from great pubs and retaurants with top tips provided on the best places to go. Great breakfast and just all really good value for money. Already planning our next visit!
