What an amazing stay at The Chapter House. Across the street from Salisbury Cathedral grounds and easy to walk to anything you need. The community that works there was amazing. Everyone was so helpful. They all went the extra mile to help make a special visit perfect. The outdoor courtyard was beautiful to sit in the morning for work. Breakfast was delicious. The character of the inn was worth it.
