About this property
Rojoy is a classic period terraced cottage in the centre of Salisbury, Wiltshire. It is two hundred years old and has been refurbished into a classic modern cottage, with neutral decoration for that homely feel. It is perfect for families. The property opens to a living room complete with a TV with Sky and WiFi. There is also an electric fire in the original fireplace for that authentic cottage feel. There is also a fitted kitchen and dining area, as well as a cloakroom with a wash basin.
It has one king-size bedroom, one double bedroom and one twin bedroom with a family bathroom. There is no designated garden area, however opposite the property you will find Greencroft Park which has an enclosed children’s play area.
Salisbury is a historic cathedral city. There is a local pub and store only a short walk away. For those looking for some culture, the city hosts an annual international arts festival in May. There is still plenty more to see, including Stonehenge and New Forest National Park. Not forgetting the classic English Gothic Cathedral which is home to some of the best-preserved copies of the Magna Carta. For shoppers, there is a thriving local market, including museums.
Rojoy view is the ultimate vacation for families with young children.

There was mention once we got there in the paperwork that the large twin could have been a double on request prior to arrival, but we didn't know we had to request it, so were disappointed to find we weren't able to use it, as there was no bedding in the property to be able to zip it together and use it as a double - the only extra bedding were duvets, blankets and pillows without sheets or pillow cases. No double bottom sheets. The toilet downstairs was unusable for all but one of our four party due to it being so small and no leg room between the toilet and wash basin - as really it was an understairs closet. The air vent in there was extremely loud. Although the owner did quickly respond to this by informing me how to switch it off if required and an electrician did come to replace them - that made minimal difference in the confined space, but upstairs in the bathroom the rattle and squeak was reduced. This was a sort of 'no-frills' cottage, we had to buy things like table salt and also products for the dishwasher, like salt and rinse clean as the dishwasher had the lights for this on and there was nothing available. We did not use the washing machine, because there was no way to dry our clothes: no dryer, no drying rack and no garden. It smelt liked a rented disued property and there were always flies in the house, usually around 6 or more all the time. Parking was also difficult as mostly unavailable anywhere close to the house. Unfortunately for us, this would not be a property we would return to, although it was convenient to the town and to the motorway and spacious with brilliant wifi.

Was able to park up and walk with ease into the town. Comfort of beds and furniture was great, allowing for a relaxing, restful retreat. Just a little disappointed with the lack of crockery and length of the shower head lead.

As mentioned by others, parking was not aways easy to find, but we always managed. As outside space we can recommend the "Secret Garden" behind the police station (at 150m), a true paradise.
