Perfect location, great for families

We stayed at Spire House for more than a week and really settled in. The place had plenty of space for my husband, me and two boys plus the grandparents. We most enjoyed the back English garden, large kitchen and prime location - right by the cathedral and walking distance to everything in town. We had a minor leak in the kitchen sink and Lois responded incredibly fast to get it fixed. It’s an old building so there are things Americans wouldn’t normally encounter that I’d like to mention just in case - the toilets sometimes need some extra flushing bc of old plumbing, the water pressure on the top floor isn’t stellar and there is no AC. We had plenty of fans and the ability to open windows - so no issues for us in our July visit. I would definitely recommend this VRBO. We enjoyed Salisbury too - lots to see and do with the whole family. Our favorite was the Cathedral and Wilton House (especially their playground!).

Great location

It is busy with it being a convenient location and a little noisy. The back courtyard doesn’t feel as private as the listing shows. The wildflower garden is a very nice touch.

Weekend stay and race

We stayed here over the weekend to be close to Thruxton Circuit for the British Touring Car Championship and Thruxton Kart racing. The home was lovely and met our families needs well. It was in walking distance of everything in Salisbury. The host was great, and even had some food staples to welcome us in the kitchen. We would love to stay here again!

Highly recommend this house

We loved the central location. The owner was very quick to respond to messages. The house was very clean, well equiped and although large was comfortable and cosy due to careful choice of furnishings and decor. It felt like a home not just another holiday let. We would use it again!!

A beautiful English home

This home is lovely. Decorated beautifully. Comfortable. Convenient to the Chapter House for great food. Lois provided us with some breakfast essentials to get going in the morning, which was greatly appreciated.. loved it there, although parking was a little difficult, had 2 handicapped family members, even though we had permitted parking across the street, parking was not readily available when we needed it…

WEDDING BREAK!

Many thanks to Lois and John who have a beautiful house decorated with a unique style and filled with everything to make our stay even more special. Located in the centre of Salisbury, with easy parking and great access to our son's wedding venue to the south of the city, the house was a great venue for our family to make this wonderful weekend even more memorable.

Fantastic house - we’d love to go back!

The house was immaculate, arranged very well, spacious and beautifully decorated throughout. We all loved it, and enjoyed our stay very much. We wish we had been able to stay for longer, but we were in Salisbury for a wedding and only staying for two nights. We’d definitely like to go back another time if we can.

Very, very nice place to stay a while

The house is three stories and has plenty of room. It used to be a bed and breakfast, and the kitchen is the best appointed of any rental I have every stayed in anywhere. It would be possible to cook quite comfortably here just about anything. There is a really nice back garden to relax in. Everything is clean and comfortable and well decorated. It is on a busy street, so the front of the house gets road noise during the day. The street is quiet at night, and the back rooms were never loud. It is an easy walk to what you'd like to access in Salisbury. The owner provides a parking pass, so it's possible to park just across the street. This was a real bonus!

Great place, perfect location

Tragically I was unable to go on my girls weekend away due to Covid, however my friends apparently had a fabulous time despite this setback! Communication with the owner was great and very responsive, as well as flexible when we had to reschedule after the original booking was cancelled due to lockdown. My friends tell me the property was very clean, had everything you’d need, and a bit quirky (in a good way!). It was in a great central location so you could pop home for coffee midway through exploring Salisbury. The drawback of this is parking can be tricky, though I understand they managed to park on the road. Overall they had a fabulous time. I’m just sorry I missed it!

Location is fantastic, just 5 minutes from city centre and Cathedral. The property was brilliant, really clean, warm and perfect for a family break. Kitchen was well stocked with everything needed for cooking. Back garden is overlooked by flats but wasn’t a problem for us as it was too cold to be barbecuing!

Fantastic reunion stay for old friends!

As a group of old school friends - all approaching our big 50 - we have got into the habit of meeting annually in order to keep in touch and be reminded of why we've been friends for so long. 2020 created a blip in these plans and we missed our get together. But meeting at Lois' house in Salisbury was the perfect place to meet and enjoy good food and company after a difficult 18 months. Thank you for a wonderful weekend!

About the host

Hosted by Lois

Hi I am Lois my husband John used to run Spire House as a B&B. After 26 years we understand what visitors to our area really want and our home is equipped to ensure everyone have a great holiday. From maps and guides to spare umbrellas we have got it. We have been lucky enough to meet people from across the world and now we want to do some more exploring ourselves. This is why we are offering our lovely home to rent as a holiday home. We really believe in getting the most out of everyday and hope that like minded people will enjoy our city as much as we do. Although a small city we really think it has a lot to offer, take our cinema for example, we are real movie fans and our cinema is certainly original! It takes a 10 minutes fast walk to the excellent Playhouse theatre, I know that because I am always late! We also enjoy Salisbury Arts Centre and have seen a variety of productions. Guests will find plenty of information available at Spire House plus the opportunity to get good discounts from some of the places we support.

Why they chose this property

Spire House has been my absolute passion for years now, every room has been decorated with love and care. Our walled garden is much larger than the usual city garden and we have plenty of seating and a large patio area.

What makes this property unique

So often when guests arrive at Spire House they remark 'Oh isn't this house large, so much bigger than it looks from outside and what an amazing location'.
