“Cricket Field House is an excellent option when visiting Salisbury”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 August 2009

The hotel is a lovely country house. You have a 10 minute bus drive from downtown Salisbury and has: extremely comfortable accommodation, beautiful gardens, a wonderful breakfast and above all, an incredible attention to detail from it's owners and staff.
The cricket field that is next door and their own gardens are the most cute gardens I've ever seen, they are a true delight to the eyes. Our room (a cuadruple) was warmly decorated and you could notice incredible taste and care in every detail. The bathroom was comfortable and functional. The shower had plenty of water pressure and hot water. EVERY single thing that was there worked perfectly! and was very accordingly. We didn't have any problems with the TV or the WiFi (for whom the charge a little fee).
Also, there was an electric teapot for making tea or coffee (which was provided, by the way) and Room Service. The Room Service was quite useful for us, because despite the menu wasn't very long, we could have dinner in our room and discover that they were also really great cooks!
In a gorgeous winter garden is where they serve breakfast and one can see clearly that every detail has been taken into account. Breakfast is awesome and "English traditional". It has everything you can possibly want: fresh fruits, dry fruits, cereal, yogurt, white and dark toasts, mermelade and the obviously traditional dishes: bacon and eggs, sausages, etc.
Attention wise, we'll have to say that Margaret and Brian have been two incredible hosts! They've been extremely generous and helped us when we had to return the rental car because we found very difficult and dangerous for us driving in England (against our transit rules). They had the generosity to get us a last minute ride to Stonehenge's circle, as also to give us indications on where to dine, shop and how to get around in public transportation. Their tips helped us visit the most interesting places in downtown Salisbury, get obviouslly last minute tickets to Oxford (that strangely wasn´t a simple task ...) and get the most of our stay there.
Last but not least: Tripadvisor helped me to choose hotels and to save a lot of money during my holiday. After this trip through the different countries of Europe (Italy, France and England) I discovered that reviews sometimes are uneven because of cultural and social differences of the people that read and write in this page. As in life, everything depends on the expectations you have and of which places, countries or traditions you've known...and obviously, the budget or "stars" that you're used to...
In our case Cricket Field House Hotel was all in all, EXCELLENT, not only for the attention of their whole staff, but for the cleanliness and warmth.

“Good Friendly Family Accommodation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 May 2009

Staff were friendly and welcoming. Happy to answer queries and chat. Room was roomy, clean and comfortable. Double bed and two single beds, ideal for family of four with teenage children. Conveniently located just on fringe of Salisbury. On busy road but didn't have any problems with road noise. Breakfast was good.

“Great B&B in nice location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 April 2009

The Cricket Field House is a very nice B&B just outside of Salisbury. The owners were very nice and helpful. The room was very rooomy for our family of 4. The location was ideal for our visit to Stonehenge and the full english breakfast was deliciuos. We had an early reservation with a tour guide (Vic's Taxi - excellent choice - see review under stonehenge) so they had breakfast ready for us at 7:00a. If you walk into or back from town ask for directions the back way. It takes you along a very nice park.

“Great B&B But Had A Few Annoying Points”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2009

This is a great B&B, our room was large and spotless and the location was brilliant for us. Tea & coffee facilities, hairdryer, local information, good sized tv and king size bed (made up of two beds joined together). The road didn't bother us and we didn't hear any noise from it.

Few annoying points but would not put us off staying again -

The website says they cater for vegetarians - by that they mean choose from everything off the breakfast menu except the meat, there were no vegetarian sausages or bacon etc available. I had told them when I booked my hubby was vegetarian so they could have been more prepared.

The shower was about as powerful as a leaking tap!

There was no plug near the dressing table and for any ladies like me who like their straightners & tongs it was a little annoying!

Would recommend to friends and family.

  • Liked — Short drive to Stonehenge & Salisbury
  • Disliked — Vegetarian breakfast option

“Home from home with great business facilities”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 September 2008

My third business trip to Salisbury and I asked my company to arrange my stay at this bed and breakfast as it came highly recommended.

Staying here was like being welcomed into someone's very lovely home. The house is fairly large, and I believe it is made up of a newer and an older bit. There is a well mancured court-yard and garden area to the rear, complete with duck pond and numerous ducks who are practically members of the family.

The guest house is owned and run by the hard working and hands on couple; Margaret and Brian and a small and very friendly team of staff and family.

I stayed in room 17, in the main house overlooking the cricket field and was delighted with how cosy it was.

The room was a decent size, so well kept as to be immaculate and simply but tastefully decorated in a modern, homely style. I had a modern en-suite (shower only, no bath which suited me fine), spotlessly cleaned every day.

Whilst staying at the guest house, I used their business facilities - namely a meeting room off the court yard at the back of the house. It was spacious (perfect for groups of 10 or so people I'd say), well stocked with all of the supplies I required, and we received teas, coffees and biscuits, plus a lovely working lunch, served on the patio.

I didn't eat any other meals there except breakfast (home cooked to order with fully stocked buffett as well), but hear it's simple yet wholesome food.

I'd say it's within walking distance of the local sights if you don't mind a brisk (and not entirely scenic) walk, otherwise a short taxi drive is all it takes to have you in the heart of Salisbury.

Would definitely stay again.

  • Liked — Difficult to choose, probably the welcoming atmosphere
  • Disliked — Not as central, but still fine in a taxi
