It is busy with it being a convenient location and a little noisy. The back courtyard doesn’t feel as private as the listing shows. The wildflower garden is a very nice touch.

Weekend stay and race

We stayed here over the weekend to be close to Thruxton Circuit for the British Touring Car Championship and Thruxton Kart racing. The home was lovely and met our families needs well. It was in walking distance of everything in Salisbury. The host was great, and even had some food staples to welcome us in the kitchen. We would love to stay here again!

Great house for a family meet up!

The house was a spacious place for six adults and two children to come together. We had a great time staying at the property which had everything we needed. The central location was perfect too, with both views of the cathedral and a few minutes walk to pubs, restaurants and shops.

Highly recommend this house

We loved the central location. The owner was very quick to respond to messages. The house was very clean, well equiped and although large was comfortable and cosy due to careful choice of furnishings and decor. It felt like a home not just another holiday let. We would use it again!!

Great location, comfortable home, amazing kitchen! Stay here!

This was a great spacious home that really felt like a home yet so close to everything in Salisbury. Lois and the property manager, Karen, were very helpful with the parking details and the many notes helped guide us through the intricacies of any home in the city. I would definitely recommend this place.

Lovely stay in a fun, beautiful home

We enjoyed everything about this house....the location, the amenities, the different wallpapers and colors in each room! It has the best stocked kitchen I’ve encountered in 20+ years of renting vacation homes! Street parking was very easy and convenient with the permits arranged for us. We were so happy and would definitely rent again.

Great stay

House was very comfortable and well equipped. We enjoyed eating in the back garden. The owner is very welcoming and accommodating. The location is excellent - the one small issue being that the street is very busy and hard to cross. The city could be a little more pedestrian-friendly!

A beautiful English home

This home is lovely. Decorated beautifully. Comfortable. Convenient to the Chapter House for great food. Lois provided us with some breakfast essentials to get going in the morning, which was greatly appreciated.. loved it there, although parking was a little difficult, had 2 handicapped family members, even though we had permitted parking across the street, parking was not readily available when we needed it…

Lovely Property

This is a great, characterful property with a lovely garden (photos don't do it justice), a stone's throw from the beautiful cathedral and mediaeval town, while a short drive into the New Forest for anyone looking for longer (and easily socially distanced) walks. The meticulousness of the hosts with cleaning to make the property COVID-safe is exemplary.

Fantastic reunion stay for old friends!

As a group of old school friends - all approaching our big 50 - we have got into the habit of meeting annually in order to keep in touch and be reminded of why we've been friends for so long. 2020 created a blip in these plans and we missed our get together. But meeting at Lois' house in Salisbury was the perfect place to meet and enjoy good food and company after a difficult 18 months. Thank you for a wonderful weekend!

A beautiful, comfortable home. Perfect for a weekend getaway!

Our family of 6 came from all over the UK to celebrate our son’s 21st birthday. The house was perfect for our 4 sons (all young adults & teens). In fact they very much felt at home. Loved the decor, it was warm and cosy, beds were very comfortable and it had all the added extras that made our stay so successful. Fresh flowers, milk & butter in the fridge didn’t go unnoticed. Location for great, easy walk into town, pubs, restaurants and the Cathedral. It was a really lovely weekend. Thank you!

Perfect location, great for families

We stayed at Spire House for more than a week and really settled in. The place had plenty of space for my husband, me and two boys plus the grandparents. We most enjoyed the back English garden, large kitchen and prime location - right by the cathedral and walking distance to everything in town. We had a minor leak in the kitchen sink and Lois responded incredibly fast to get it fixed. It’s an old building so there are things Americans wouldn’t normally encounter that I’d like to mention just in case - the toilets sometimes need some extra flushing bc of old plumbing, the water pressure on the top floor isn’t stellar and there is no AC. We had plenty of fans and the ability to open windows - so no issues for us in our July visit. I would definitely recommend this VRBO. We enjoyed Salisbury too - lots to see and do with the whole family. Our favorite was the Cathedral and Wilton House (especially their playground!).

Many thanks to Lois and John who have a beautiful house decorated with a unique style and filled with everything to make our stay even more special.

About the host

Hosted by Lois

Hi I am Lois my husband John used to run Spire House as a B&B. After 26 years we understand what visitors to our area really want and our home is equipped to ensure everyone have a great holiday. From maps and guides to spare umbrellas we have got it. We have been lucky enough to meet people from across the world and now we want to do some more exploring ourselves. This is why we are offering our lovely home to rent as a holiday home. We really believe in getting the most out of everyday and hope that like minded people will enjoy our city as much as we do. Although a small city we really think it has a lot to offer, take our cinema for example, we are real movie fans and our cinema is certainly original! It takes a 10 minutes fast walk to the excellent Playhouse theatre, I know that because I am always late! We also enjoy Salisbury Arts Centre and have seen a variety of productions. Guests will find plenty of information available at Spire House plus the opportunity to get good discounts from some of the places we support.

Why they chose this property

Spire House has been my absolute passion for years now, every room has been decorated with love and care. Our walled garden is much larger than the usual city garden and we have plenty of seating and a large patio area.

What makes this property unique

So often when guests arrive at Spire House they remark 'Oh isn't this house large, so much bigger than it looks from outside and what an amazing location'.
