“We were spending a week in Salisbury and travelling out to various interesting places.”
This property appeared to suit our needs. If you're looking for somewhere modern, bright and shiny, this is not the place for you. However, we needed a central base and were not looking to spend much time in it, so this was adequate. The description on Sykes website describes the house as 'basic' which I think is fair. The heating works well, if needed. Water pressure is excellent. It's within a short walk of the Cathedral and town centre. The 3 ticking clocks downstairs drove me nuts, and were consigned to a cupboard for the duration of the stay! No problems, but I would recommend replacing the very old and somewhat stained teaspoons. We didn't eat in so didn't need to use the old cutlery, which I guess has been deliberately placed in line with the old/antique house theme. However, the teaspoons were off putting, in my view. We recommend the Rai D'Or Thai just around the corner. A slightly odd mix of pub and restaurant, but don't be put off as it's very friendly and the best Thai food I've ever had. Also recommend the Indian Anokaa. Not cheap but very good and slightly different. Baroushka Lebonese, good food but far too noisy for us. Travelling out, we enjoyed Stonehenge and particularly Avebury. A very lovely area and we enjoyed Salisbury.
Thank you for taking the time to provide this feedback and we're glad that you found The Townhouse to be a good location for exploring the surrounding areas. Thank you also for bringing to our attention some issues which we will pass on to the owner, and also for your recommendations regarding local pubs and restaurants. Best wishes Hideaway Cottages
