Boutique Cottages in Salisbury

Strewn with meandering medieval streets and a spectacular early English gothic cathedral, Salisbury is an incredibly historic city, packed with character and plenty to see and do.

No visit would be complete without a visit to the city’s jewel in its crown, the impressive, 123 metre spired cathedral.

To eat, there’s a plethora of choice, from quaint tea rooms and cafes through to fine dining. Head out in to the surrounding countryside for a host of ancient inns and pubs to quench the heartiest of appetites.
