A beautiful location
A beautiful location where we hold our social clubs committee meeting and coffee morning, there was about 30 of us and given a perfect room. I've also eaten here before and the food was delicious.

Very friendly and accommodating staff
Impromptu afternoon tea with friends was a delight. Very friendly and accommodating staff who made us very welcome without prior booking . The scones were perfect and we will be back. It was a delightful way to spend a wet afternoon in Salisbury.

I would highly recommend a visit
A beautiful looking building, the restaurant was very relaxing and the food was excellent. The gentleman (Stevie) who looked after us was outstanding at his job, plus took time in chatting to my family about the history of the building. I would highly recommend a visit to this place if visiting Salisbury.

Look no further for the perfect venue!
What a perfect day!!, on the 7th of September we chose to marry at the Red Lion Hotel, and what a brilliant choice it was!. The staff couldn't do enough for us and Radina was the perfect wedding planner/guide throughout!. On the day we didn't have worry about anything, Radina had taken time and care to ensure all the details were tailored to us and what we wanted our day to be. We couldn't be happier that we chose this gorgeous location. We want to say a huge thank you to all of the staff.

Thank you for making our day extra special.
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our Wedding Reception at Best Western The Red Lion Hotel in Salisbury. Harmony saw us through the majority of our plans, and offered to do some of the wedding stationery and then Tracey and the team took us through our big day. From start to finish the co-ordinators made us feel at ease, they were friendly, attentive and helpful. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and efficiently served. We will treasure the memories created.

Beautiful, came here for a wedding recently, they had half the court yard as well as own little bar, dance floor and a reception room. The drink prices were reasonable. Lovely venue in the centre of town.
