Lovely small property with so much character, lovely staff and food. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The stairs are a little wonky, as others have noted, but if you don't mind a bit of a tilt, they are quite manageable!

Lovely place to stay with exceptional staff and a great restaurant. Highly recommended. Only qualification is that it is far from ideal for people with limited mobility due to the lack of a lift and uneven steps.

The Chapter House is a beautifully renovated, 500 year old coaching inn, family-owned and managed. Our room was gorgeous and comfortable. Staff was attentive, efficient, and friendly. Location (across from back gates to the Salisbury Cathedral and a 5-minute walk from Salisbury's main square, was perfect. This would be our first choice stay for any return visit.
