Guests say

The property is well-equipped and offers a peaceful garden, with many appreciating the thoughtful welcome packs provided by the host, Nigel. It serves as an excellent base for exploring Salisbury and the surrounding areas, with easy access to local amenities and attractions.

The majority of guests describe the apartment as immaculate and spotlessly clean, indicating high standards of cleanliness. One review mentions mold and dust, but this seems to be an isolated case in the context of overwhelmingly positive feedback.

The apartment's location is frequently highlighted as ideal, offering tranquility and proximity to Salisbury, local pubs, and attractions like Stonehenge. It is also noted for its easy access to country walks and the New Forest.

Comfort is a recurring theme, with guests finding the beds super comfortable and the living spaces cosy. Some guests noted the furniture might be low for those with limited mobility, but overall, the apartment is seen as spacious and welcoming.

Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and ample parking. Some guests suggested improvements like safety rails in showers and clearer instructions for appliances, but these are minor compared to the overall positive experiences.

Guests frequently mention and appreciate the welcome packs, which add a personal touch to their stay. While these gifts are warmly received, it is important to note that such extras, while common, are not guaranteed for every stay.

  • Elizabeth

    We had a lovely warm welcome from Nigel (and Ruby) and enjoyed a cup of tea sitting in the garden on our arrival. The apartment was clean, warm, comfortable, quiet and very well equipped. It was well positioned for visiting Salisbury, Winchester, Stonehenge, Devizes and many other places. We hope to return to Shutts House to continue our exploration of the area - we would not think of staying anywhere else!

  • Ben

    It has the potential of being a great house. BUT it's not well kept: mold everywhere (even on the curtains), dust webs, dirty carpet. We have disinfected the kitchen and the tools before using it (dirty pans, dirty oven, dirty microwave). It needs some serious cleaning and updating urgently. The sheets in our bedroom had already been used (hairs, used handkerchief?), which we find unacceptable in a house of this price range.

  • Margaret

    Lovely and relaxing garden setting. Good location for visiting Salisbury and many places in the wider hinterland. Close to the New Forest. Well appointed and very comfortable. Excellent welcome pack- best we have had in any property stay. The owner is a very helpful host. We always enjoyed having a chat with him. We were sorry to leave after 2 weeks!
