“Decent value for money”

The Beadles

18 Jan 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

I'm convinced that the reason this B&B has received so many good reviews is because the owners are a nice, older couple.

On the plus side, at least this place is fairly cheap given the area it's located in. Mr. Beadle is more than willing to give directions and information and gave us an excellent recommendation for a local gastro-pub. He is an avid gardener and the outcome shows his dedication.

On the negative, the rooms are dusty and filled with knickknacks that haven't been dusted in months. The bed is very uncomfortable and the shower is more like a mist than a shower- barely any water pressure. I've been to many B&B's that have antiques that lend an old world feel to their rooms but in this case it really just looked like alot of old furniture.

Their garden is very well done but they really need to post a bigger sign- it's hard to find this place.

If you are looking for romance, do NOT stay here. I could hear other people's conversations from our bedroom.

The breakfast is okay, average though they do offer smoked salmon.

I wouldn't stay here again, mostly due to the shower, dust and bed.

Highly recommended to all Italian visitors to Salisbury. It is very pleasant to find not only hosts able to converse in italian but also always able to cook a beautiful meal. Many thanks to our perfect hosts for making a trip to the UK an unforgettable experience.

I read a review posted about the Beadles which was not at all kind and I felt that I just had to write this as a rebuttal. I agree that everyone has a right to an opinion, but as we say out here in the western United States, “Some folks would complain if they were hanged with a new rope”. Another old saying is “No matter where you go, there you are, you just can’t get away from yourself.”
As far as I’m concerned, anyone who stays at the Beadles and doesn’t enjoy themselves aren’t going to be happy anywhere.

I really can't say enough good things about Anne and David. They are the Beadles and they make the Beadles Bed and Breakfast the great place it is.

David met us at Heathrow with a smile and a welcoming handshake and it only got better from there. Upon arriving at their bed and breakfast, we were immediately made to feel welcome and within hours became fast friends. The accommodations were superb and the friendly atmosphere was extremely relaxing. Anne is a wonderful and caring hostess and serves a wonderful meal. David is unmatched as a host and has a wealth of knowledge of the local area and England in general and is more than willing to share. He is an excellent guide and drove us everywhere we wished to go. We enjoyed ourselves immensely and plan to return.

Any trip to England in the future will automatically include a stay at the Beadles. We are recommending them to all our friends. The stay was as pleasurable as at any five star hotel, and the personal service is unmatched.

I recommend the Beadles to anyone wishing to visit the area and enjoy outstanding hospitality, friendliness, great accommodations, and a very relaxed experience.

    • Any tips/secrets for future travellers? — Take advantage of David's knowledge of the area.

My husband and I just returned from a wonderful trip to the UK. Of the many places we stayed, our favorite was The Beadles in Middle Winterslow, near Salisbury. The location is ideal for exploring the city of Salisbury and its beautiful cathedral, as well as Stonehenge. David and Anne were gracious hosts and went out of their way to show us places to visit in the area. Anne is a superb cook and we had wonderful breakfasts each day. For an additional charge, you can also have dinner, which we did. The dinner was excellent.. We had the yellow room in the back, which was tastefully decorated, quite spacious and the bed was very comfortable. We brought my parents with us. My father has Parkinson's Disease and has difficulty getting around. Both David and Anne were so kind to him and I really appreciated their warmth. The Beadles has gracious and friendly hosts, comfortable lodgings, a great location and is a great value. We learned about it through a reader review in the San Francisco Chronicle and are so glad we clipped and saved the article. We recommend it highly and can't wait until our next visit.
