Best Hotels in Salisbury for a Stonehenge Day Trip

Staying the night in Salisbury before or after your Stonehenge visit is strongly recommended if you're travelling from London or further afield. It removes the stress of tight train connections and lets you take the earliest shuttle on a relaxed morning. Here's where to stay.

Caboose Salisbury (Walk to Shuttle)

Caboose Salisbury at 115 South Western Road operates the Salisbury to Stonehenge Shuttle. Staying here means you are literally 30 seconds from your morning shuttle. The boutique B&B has eight en-suite rooms with Hypnos beds, Egyptian cotton linens, and air conditioning. Breakfast vouchers for a nearby cafe are included with your stay. It is a 2 minute walk from Salisbury Train Station the most convenient Stonehenge overnight base in the city.

The Red Lion Hotel

Located in Salisbury's city centre, the Red Lion is one of Engla's oldest coaching inns, with history stretching back to 1220 CE. A 15 minute walk from the station and close to the Cathedral. Rooms range from standard to character four-poster suites.

Premier Inn Salisbury

For straightforward budget hotel accommodation, Premier Inn has a well-located Salisbury property. Consistent, comfortable, with free parking though it's not walking distance to the station, a short taxi or bus ride is required.

Booking Tips

Book accommodation at least 2 to 3 weeks in advance during summer, Bank Holidays and around the solstices. Salisbury is a popular short-break destination and good central hotels fill quickly in peak season. Book your shuttle and Stonehenge tickets at the same time as your hotel for a seamless experience.
