Hart of Salisbury | Wessex Quarters

Comfortable, conveniently located and excellent value Positive: The property is in a lovely quiet location, easy to find, and a convenient walking distance from the places we needed to visit and Waitrose for groceries. The bedrooms and sitting room are spacious with plenty of natural light (and good lighting in the evening too), and there is a peaceful grassy garden at the back, with a patio and fruit tree. The kitchen contained a nice big fridge-freezer, an efficient dishwasher, and plenty of pans and utensils. The house has toasty warm central heating, and we really liked the second bathroom downstairs with a new electric shower, which meant much less queuing in the mornings. The laundry room was well equipped and also provided a useful extra storage space. Everything was clean and tidy. We liked that there was a light that came on by the main entrance so we could see what we were doing when collecting the key! Negative: Our niggles are minor and most of them would not be difficult to fix; the following suggestions are not 'complaints' as we enjoyed our stay and were satisfied it was good value. It might be worth noting in the original description that parking (or even turning) in this part of town isn't completely straightforward if guests have a second (or larger) vehicle, though we managed OK with a VW Golf. A few little things would make the house itself even better: some coat hooks in the hallway, a basic clothes rail with hangers (or chest of drawers) in each bedroom (there's lots of space), a towel rail in the downstairs shower room. We had not realised that one of the beds in the downstairs bedroom would be a zed bed; the other beds were all comfortable and we think the sofa would have been too.. The dining area could do with a couple of extra chairs and perhaps a slightly larger (or extendable) table, given that the property is advertised for up to 8 people. The photos of the dining room were accurate, so we weren't surprised or disappointed, and it worked fine for five of us for a couple of nights. Perhaps the slightly random plates and cereal bowls could be upgraded in due course?
