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.

In ROOM 105 there was black mould on the bathroom ceiling, the waterfall showerhead was rusty and the bar connecting shower to wall was discoloured

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I’m very sorry to hear about the condition of the bathroom in Room 105 — this is certainly not the standard we aim to provide. The issues you’ve highlighted, including the black mould on the ceiling, the rust on the waterfall showerhead, and the discolouration of the shower bar, should not have been present, and I completely understand how disappointing this must have been. Please be assured that your feedback is being dealt with. We take concerns like this very seriously, and your comments help us ensure every guest enjoys a comfortable and well‑maintained room. Thank you again for taking the time to let us know — we truly appreciate it. If you choose to stay with us again, we’d welcome the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience, and a reduced rate, please contatc me personally at pa… to arrange. warm regards Paul Paul Clarke General Manager

Mary K. Families - 3/4/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

At reception I asked if my room was facing the street as I wanted one looking into the pretty courtyard. Even though the hotel was busy the very helpful receptionist changed my room to the one opposite. This really improved my stay as I found the room cosy and quiet. (On a previous stay I had had a room facing the street. ) Room temperature was ideal and TV worked well. I put out the "do not clean sign" as there was no need for a maid to tidy up. A good idea.

Thank you for sharing your lovely feedback. I’m delighted to hear that our reception team were able to accommodate your request and offer you a room overlooking the courtyard. It’s wonderful that this small change made such a positive difference to your stay — we completely understand how the quieter, cosier rooms can enhance the experience. I’m also pleased that you found the room temperature comfortable and that everything, including the TV, worked well. It’s great to know the “do not clean” sign was helpful for you too — we offer it so guests can enjoy complete privacy when they prefer not to have housekeeping during their visit. Thank you again for your kind comments. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share them, and we look forward to welcoming you back on your next stay. Paul Paul Clarke General Manager

Dear Mr b., Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m very sorry to hear that you had to leave early due to an emergency — that must have been incredibly stressful. Im not sure if there is confusion around the refund as i understand you will be returning to us and we agreed to carry over the credit from your stay, if this is not acceptable i will arrange a refund for you. My email address is pa… if you wish to contact me, Warm regards Paul Paul Clarke General Manager
