We vacationed in Salisbury recently, staying at the Spire House the entire 5 days. What a wonderful place to call home during our visit! You won’t find nicer hosts than Lois & John. The breakfasts were fantastic, the room (with a bay window view of the Cathedral’s spire) was nicely decorated and very comfortable. If you are considering a stay... more

Our stay at Spire House was OK. The room was clean, the breakfast was quite good and the owners were friendly and professional. In our own particular situation and context, though, it was a bit less than ideal for a few reasons: (1) We were hoping to be able to park our car at the bed and breakfast so that... more

I could not beleive this review as I remember these guests, they were going to a wedding and they said what a good time they had here. The family were cramped but the room is for 3 people not 4 I added an extra bed to be helpful as they had children, its not advertised anywhere for 4 persons. The...

I would endorse previous comments about car parking. It was impossible and we weren't offered a permit either. We had to move the car twice before finally getting a place outside at about 9pm and had to move the car at 8am the next morning into the multi-story car park nearby. Apart from that the room was comfortable and clean,... more

Oh dear sorry about the loo, we did get it fix the next day. Gosh we didnt do very well, I think as it was late the heating thats on a thermosate/timer may have gone off or was on low. I do wish you had said you had a problem, we love running a B&B mainly because we like people...

My husband and I stayed at the Spire House from 26/05/07 to 28/05/07, as we were going to a christening at a church a few doors down on the Sunday. As the price wasn't very expensive (£70 per room per nigh) I wasn't really expecting more than a basic clean room and some breakfast to set us up for the... more

Our stay at Spire House was our first at a B&B, and it exceeded our expectations. We knew we would enjoy the place even before we left home. It was a delight communicating with Lois by email when we made our reservation. Once we arrived we had our pick of rooms and chose the second floor room facing the cathedral.... more

My husband and I returned to the United States two days ago having spent a little more than two weeks in the UK. The highlight of our holiday was our time at Spire House. Since neither my husband nor myself would normally seek out a "B & B",we were overjoyed to discover this" jewel" of Salisbury. Lois and John Faulkner... more

We stayed at The Spire B&B in June for 2 nights. We booked three rooms (part of family wedding holiday) and found them to be clean and comfortable. Unfortunatly Lois was away on our day of arrival, but her husband did his best to make us feel at home. Car parking is a bit of a problem as you have... more

I was really surprised when I read some of the comments in this review. I realise that the majority was pretty positive but I thought one or two points were a little misleading. I do remember this party, as they were taking part in a wedding celebration at Stonehenge during the Summer Solstice. I always give my visitors parking permits,...

In April 2006 we stayed in Salisbury at the Spire House 81 Exeter Street. Our room had a wonderful view of the spire of Salisbury cathedral and an excellent location for walking to town or the cathedral and close. Our hostess Lois served breakfast at a common table which led to some fun conversations with fellow guests. The room was... more

Great review, just a small point we are 84 Exeter Street not 81.

My partner and I have just returned from a two night stay at this lovely B+B. It was our first time in Salisbury, and wanted to stay somewhere central within walking distance to the town amenities. The Spire House B+B (dating from around 1795), is located a stones throw from the amazing Cathedral, (and if you are lucky enough to... more

What a lovely review. I just thought I would say they were absolutely right about the TV spoiling the view of the fireplace. So I have moved the television and it now looks much better. TV fans do not fear we have replaced the old model with a flat screen version.

Spire House is what I love to consider "Home": Lois and John are my new parents from abroad and the hotel is really friendly and warm. I (Bob) and Cristina have never experienced such incredible service before. Everything was so incredible that it was hard to drag ourselves away from the hotel, on the departure date. From that moment on... more
