The city of Salisbury is pretty and picturesque and boasts a beautifully impressive cathedral, among other attractions. In addition to its own sights, however, this city is also often used as a home base for exploring the area around it as well, such as the famous Stonehenge and some other mystic points of interest – so finding cheap hotels in Salisbury is a great start to a budget vacation. There may not be as many choices in Salisbury than in other cities, but there are certainly some.
Salisbury is not a very big city, although it is a relatively popular tourist destination – especially considering its proximity to Stonehenge – so while there are lots of hotels in the city there are not necessarily as many cheap hotels in Salisbury as you might expect. There are lots of B&Bs, however, which can offer a budget alternative to the really high-end hotels. If you are intersted in a more personal touch, be sure to check into the bed and breakfast option – some of them may have shared bathrooms instead of en suite, but that may not be an issue for you.
The biggest attraction in the city of Salisbury is undoubtedly its cathedral, which lays claim to England’s highest spire and houses an original copy of the Magna Carta. The entire area around the cathedral is lovely, including the nearby parks. But the major area attraction is about 15km outside the city – it is Stonehenge. Because it is in the middle of nowhere, next to a major highway, Salisbury is about the best place to stay if you are planning a visit to this ancient stone circle.
A few of the cheap hotels in Salisbury you should look into for your trip are The Old Mill Hotel (housed in an old paper mill, near the cathedral in city center, 11 rooms, all with cathedral views, on-site restaurant), The Rokeby Guest House B&B (in an historic Edwardian house, 15 minute walk from cathedral and city center, free full English breakfast, free internet access), Premier Inn Salisbury (about 1 mile from city center, on-site restaurant, kids stay free, free parking, Wifi & internet access available), and The Legacy Rose & Crown Hotel (in a 13th century building in city center, 28 rooms, free WiFi available, free on-site parking, on-site restaurant & bar).
