Mercure Salisbury White Hart Hotel & Apartments

Hotel for travellers looking for local and authentic experiences

The White Hart Hotel is set in an elegant Grade II listed building, close to Salisbury Cathedral. Centrally located in the old town, our historic 4-star Salisbury hotel dates back to the 1600s, blending original Georgian character with modern comfort and amenities. With 80 rooms, including 12 new apartments, our hotel makes an ideal base for visiting Stonehenge, the New Forest and Wiltshire. Enjoy British cuisine at Squires Restaurant and Bar, meeting rooms for up to 140 guests and private onsite parking.

We're located in Salisbury's historic centre, just opposite the cathedral. Within a short walk, you'll find independent shops, restaurants and bars in historic half-timbered buildings, immersing you in the city's cultural heritage. Our Wiltshire hotel is next to the historic Market Place, near Salisbury Cathedral. Gaze up at Britain's tallest spire, explore Britain's largest Cathedral Close and Cloisters, and see the world's oldest mechanical clock and the original 1215 Magna Carta.

The main bus and train station is a 15-minute walk from our hotel. The World Heritage Site of Stonehenge is a 20-minute drive, while the New Forest National Park is 30 minutes away. Southampton's ferry and cruise terminal is 45 minutes by car.

Welcome to your home in the heart of Salisbury, one of Wiltshire's most historic market towns. At the White Hart Hotel, you can expect characterful rooms and warm service from our loyal, long-serving staff, who will ensure you have everything you need.

Dear Guest, Thank you for your kind words following what sounds like another enjoyable stay at the White Hart — it is always a pleasure to welcome back returning guests. I am pleased to hear that our location continues to work so well for you. We look forward to welcoming you back again in the future. Sincerely, Paul Paul Clarke General Manager

Kimberly R. Solo - 6/9/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

You are right outside the wall to the cathedral and can easily access the rest of Salisbury. It was still quiet, even though convenient. I stayed in Apt 11 and it was comfortable and well appointed. It is up stairs and there is no lift. I was glad of the apartment because of rain and it was more comfortable than just a room since I was there more than I might have been with better weather. It was also nice to cook a couple of times and not go to restaurants. I also had breakfast each day in the main area, and it was adequate.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your recent stay in one of our apartments at the White Hart. I am pleased to hear that the apartment worked so well for you and that the location, despite the weather, allowed you to make the most of everything Salisbury has to offer right on the doorstep. It is great to hear that the kitchen facilities came in handy too. With regard to the stairs, as a Grade II listed building we are unfortunately unable to install a lift and this is clearly stated across all of our booking platforms prior to arrival. We hope to welcome you back again in the future and perhaps with better weather next time! Sincerely, Paul Paul Clarke General Manager

Sam L. Solo - 6/8/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

Upon arrival, I received a free upgrade which was great. The bed was huge (2 beds pushed together) and comfortable. The room had both heating and air conditioning and everything worked. I was happy with the storage facilities available as well as the TV. Though some aspects of the room could have done with a freshen up, such as marks on the walls and some wear and tear, it was great value for money. I would stay here again and would recommend to a friend who wanted a safe, clean, and budget friendly hotel. The staff were also super friendly.

Dear Guest, Thank you for your lovely review following your recent stay at the White Hart. I am so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the upgrade and found the room comfortable and great value. I do take on board your comments regarding the marks on the walls and the general wear and tear and I am happy to share that we are currently working through an ongoing programme of refurbishment throughout the hotel which I hope you will notice on a future visit. We look forward to welcoming you back again in the future. Sincerely, Paul Paul Clarke General Manager
