I would endorse previous comments about car parking. It was impossible and we weren't offered a permit either. We had to move the car twice before finally getting a place outside at about 9pm and had to move the car at 8am the next morning into the multi-story car park nearby. Apart from that the room was comfortable and clean, although we couldn't get either heater to work (gave up on that and went to bed instead), and at one stage the toilet refused to flush but we eventually got it to work again. Both happened late at night, so we couldn't report it. It really is a fantastic location, its just a shame about the inconvenience of the parking.

My husband and I stayed at the Spire House from 26/05/07 to 28/05/07, as we were going to a christening at a church a few doors down on the Sunday. As the price wasn't very expensive (£70 per room per nigh) I wasn't really expecting more than a basic clean room and some breakfast to set us up for the day, but I have to say we got a whole lot more!!! Right from when we arrived we were made to feel at home, and what a home!!! We were shown to our room on the 1st floor, and when Lois opened the door I was stunned!! The room was a very large size with 4 poster bed, and decorated extremely tastefully. The original features have been kept, including the windows, but they have also put in double glazing behind the widows so any noise from the road below is pretty much taken away.
Breakfast was also lovely. Everything was fresh and hot, and there was plenty of it.
I honestly can’t recommend this B&B enough, so if you are have the chance to go to Salisbury (which is itself beautiful), a stay at the Spire House is a must!!!

Our stay at Spire House was our first at a B&B, and it exceeded our expectations. We knew we would enjoy the place even before we left home. It was a delight communicating with Lois by email when we made our reservation. Once we arrived we had our pick of rooms and chose the second floor room facing the cathedral. As it was not yet ready, Lois kept our bags for us while we took her advice and had lunch at the cathedral. She was also extremely helpful assiting us with our transportation needs. First she told us where we could hire bicycles for our intended trip to Stonehenge. Then after a long day out and a lovely meal at another restaurant of her suggestion, we changed our minds about cycling to Stonehenge, and she arranged a taxi for us instead. A fine concierge.
The room itself was perfect. It was quite comfortable for the two of us. It was very relaxing to sit in the bay window and enjoy the view of the cathedral and the town. Breakfast was generous and hot off the stove, served by an apron-clad Lois in the lovely dining room. As it was very early we unfortunately did not have the pleasure of chatting with the other guests.
We were only there for one night, unfortunately, but we enjoyed it immensely. We only hope the next time our travels take us to Salisbury that we will be able to stay longer, at Spire House of course
One other note. I left my jacket in the closet and Lois was kind enough to mail it to me in Canada.

My husband and I returned to the United States two days ago having spent a little more than two weeks in the UK. The highlight of our holiday was our time at Spire House. Since neither my husband nor myself would normally seek out a "B & B",we were overjoyed to discover this" jewel" of Salisbury. Lois and John Faulkner welcomed us as if we were returning friends and then proceeded to show us to our room which was stunning. We applaud our hosts for all they did before we arrived and while we were there. They overlooked no aspect of what it takes to make a stay at their elegantly appointed "B & B" a delight.
