Amenities

The Chapter House offers free cooked-to-order breakfasts, including a full English, fresh fruit, and yoghurt. A parking permit for the nearby car park is available for 8 pounds per 24 hours. The hotel is dog-friendly, with guests able to bring their pets to the traditional bar and courtyard.

Rooms

All 17 en-suite rooms feature Egyptian cotton linen, goose down duvets, and designer toiletries. Some executive rooms include roll-top baths and original panelling, while family suites offer sofa beds for children. Each room is unique, with quirks like wonky floors and exposed beams from the 16th-century building.

Location

The Chapter House sits opposite St Ann's Gate, the entrance to Salisbury Cathedral Close, a 3-minute walk to the cathedral. Stonehenge is a 10-minute drive away, and the historic Old Sarum is 15 minutes by car. The town centre and Salisbury train station are both within a half-mile walk.

Dining

The on-site steakhouse serves house dry-aged cuts and is recognised as one of the best in the south west. The menu also includes South African dishes like Bobotie and Durban-style curries, plus wines from Stellenbosch. A Sunday roast is available every week, and the traditional bar offers local ales and cocktails by the fireside or in the heated courtyard.

Family & Pets

Family suites are designed for parents and children, with some rooms having twin beds. The restaurant offers kids' meals and special diet menus upon request. The hotel also accepts dogs, with outdoor seating in the courtyard available for pets.

“The Chapter House truly embodies a sense of history, its Tudor character thoughtfully updated for modern comfort, making for a genuinely appealing stay. I found the staff to be consistently friendly and efficient, and the rooms, often spacious with pleasant bathing arrangements, represented excellent value. While the breakfast might be a point for some to reconsider, the hotel's unique atmosphere and convenient position are undeniable draws.”
