The environment of this accommodation with the Cathedral and medieval houses is beautiful and very calm. The accommodation, as a working college, is itself super special. The staff was extremely kind and the English breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Room was clean and we loved the traditional furniture. There is some lovely serenity in this place. We were very lucky, we could see the church and the cathedral tower from our window. Staying there was really a peaceful experience, like a relaxing time travel, leaving the actual world behind.

It is not something to improve, but natural consequence of construction while separating a corner of the room to a bathroom: bathroom pipes were very loud. We also found strange the carpeted floor in the bathroom, especially around the toilette. One more note: abstract pictures in our room had rather disturbing style instead of something nice, I think a traditional landscape print would have suited the room much better.

The breakfast was very good, with a decent range of food and drink available, both hot and cold. Breakfast was served in a very pleasant room. Our bedroom, on the 4th floor, was a very good size, with a view across the green to the cathedral. There was also a good-size en-suite bathroom. Parking was very easy and we were allowed to continue to park on the day of our departure, as we didn't finish in the cathedral until nearly 6pm.

The bedroom was very warm - maybe because of being on the top floor. We tried turning the radiators off, but the pipework running round the room keep it very warm. We were discouraged from opening the windows so as not to let the pigeons in.

A fantastic location directly opposite the Cathedral. It could not be better. the accommodation reminded me of being at Hall in university and is really very functional. It's great if you want somewhere to sleep/rest and have your breakfast. there is a good academic style library on site.

We had no issue with parking but the day we left the car park was full. This would be a real problem as there is no parking around the college. So arrive early! Don't expect designer furniture, soft cushions and waiters bringing you cocktails.

Everything! There was space to park when I arrived (although the car park did fill up later), my check-in was really pleasant. The room was a good size, maybe a little basic for some, but perfectly adequate for me. It was spotlessly clean. The bed was comfortable, pillows and duvet were good quality. Shower had great water pressure, and there were tea and coffee making facilities in the room. Location, looking out the front door, you can see the whole Cathedral. It's a 5-10 minute walk into the centre of town. Breakfast was a hot and continental buffet, and really tasty. I really enjoyed my stay here!

Nothing, I'd definitely stay here again.

The location perfect for my event at Salisbury Cathedral. I felt perfectly safe at all times. The atmosphere and my initial rooms were amazing. Breakfast was spot on.

Due to inexperience of booking I messed up my room booking and had to book out and in again. Although my second room on the second night was perfectly clean and fit for purpose sadly the drunken behaviour I witnessed in the early morning was very off-putting. However the above excellent reception staff were amazing and I am forever thankful for turning my stay around. Many thanks and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Lovely old building in a beautiful quiet area. Room was comfortable, light and spotless - as was the bathroom. Very nice staff, relaxed atmosphere and great breakfast. It is a bit dorm-like as a college and that should be expected, but it was fairly priced and really pleasant - I would certainly stay again and have recommended to family and friends. Thanks Sarum!

Shower pressure was on weaker side, but to be expected in older building, and was hot and clean (both more important) with modern facilities and decor. Nitpicking here! Go easy on shampoo if you have longer hair and you'll be fine.

Lovely friendly and accommodating staff. Room was basic but clean and comfortable. The shower pressure is excellent. Really tasty cooked breakfast buffet with lots of options. The best thing about staying here is the calm atmosphere and being able to walk around the Cathedral grounds in the morning before it is open to the general public...the cloisters are quite special! If you're religious or just a bit curious you can go into the Cathedral for the morning and evening services and see the wonderful stained glass and architecture.

When it comes to location you can't beat Sarum College. Ideal for exploring the city as a tourist as you can get to virtually all the major sites such as the cathedral, Arundells and Mompesson House (plus the high-street shopping area and the riverside gardens) on foot. The buffet-style cooked breakfast is excellent, freshly prepared with high quality ingredients and a variety of choices. Unlike in many hotels, the atmosphere around the college is peaceful and quiet, and our room on the second floor (there is a lift!) had a lovely view of the cathedral. We would definitely stay in Sarum College again.

Our room was more than adequate but for some people maybe not quite what you would expect for the price. Having said that you do pay for the location - see above.

Our room (405) had a Great position overlooking the cathedral. The lift was speedy , the room was comfortable and spacious. The bathroom had a bath with a hand held shower. I decided to use the bath and there was plenty of hot water. The hairdryer was kept on the landing near the lift which I had pointed out by a friend. Lovely helpful staff.

Rather early breakfast but we coped. Not so easy to find/locate the property with satnav. Entrance to the cathedral close was small from the main street.

One couldn’t wish for a better location in Salisbury’s cathedral close with unrivalled views of the cathedral. Staff welcoming and friendly. Self-service cooked breakfast included.

Sarum College is a listed building of historic interest offering academic and short courses in Christian spirituality as well as operating as a guest house open to anyone. It does have a somewhat ‘ institutional’ feel so perhaps wouldn’t suit everyone. Our twin-bedded attic room was spacious but the low beams and undulating (carpeted) floorboards proved somewhat hazardous to tall elderly persons. Because of the design of the bathroom there was no lid on the loo — though we were given an extra bathmat to use as a cover— and lack of a curtain over the bath/ shower made showering without spraying the entire room a challenge.
