Discover Salisbury

Salisbury’s historic riverside inn

A Quieter Side of Salisbury

Set beside the River Avon in historic Harnham, the Rose & Crown gives you the city at an easy pace. Wake to the water and its wildlife, walk into Salisbury for the cathedral, shops and museums, then return for a drink on the terrace or dinner overlooking the river.

Part medieval coaching inn, part spacious Garden Wing, the hotel lets you choose the kind of stay that suits you. Whichever room you choose, you’ll find a friendly welcome and a memorable base for exploring Salisbury and Wiltshire.

Lunch, Dinner and Drinks With the River in View

The Rivers Edge is open to hotel guests and local diners alike, serving breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner in one of Salisbury’s most peaceful settings.

Time Moves Differently by the Avon

Take coffee into the garden, watch the river drift past and look towards the cathedral as the light changes. The terrace, restaurant and grounds make it easy to slow down without leaving the hotel.
