Close to Salisbury with a great range of shops and cathedral. The accommodation was spacious but warm and welcoming with modern appliances and comfortable beds. It was decorated for Christmas and worked well for three couples.

We were expecting a clean, welcoming environment but were met with quite the opposite. The cleaning was extremely poorâcobwebs and dust covered many surfaces, and we even found a toenail with hair on the living room rug, bits on the sofa, and stained, unclean bedding. Towels smelled musty, floors were clearly not mopped, mirrors had splash marks, and soap containers at sinks were completely empty. Despite check-in being delayed until 5 pm, the property was far from ready, and the welcome hamper, which arrived late, didnât include everything on the list sent to us via email. We returned a few items to avoid waste, but a few listed items were missing from the delayed welcome hamper which was very disappointing.

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!
