Great location dating back to the early 1200s, and with room layout and motif matching its historical timeframe as much as possible, while still having modern conveniences.

Very unique property - - the oldest hotel in continuous use in Europe (800 years old). Very friendly staff, especially at reception. Nice breakfast. Limited parking, so that can be a challenge.

I very much liked my stay at the Red Lion, however I was a little disappointed about my room, from the photos it seemed quite modern but it wasn’t, however there was good food options for breakfast as well as dinner. There was a very good bar as well and very friendly staff.

Lovely pub/hotel and the staff are excellent. The site has limited parking so book ahead if you wish to reserve a space. In a great location within the centre of Salisbury, close to the Cathedral, shops and restaurants. Can be a little noisy at night, but worth it for the convenience.
