Enjoy a legendary night's sleep at Premier Inn Hotel Salisbury North Bishopdown, close to historic Salisbury and the world-famous Stonehenge. With such great transport links, take in the country air or zip down to the south coast. And if you're here to work, we're close to business destinations like Porton Down, too. Step into the spirit of Salisbury at the Cathedral. Discover the stories of giants and magic - and maybe the odd UFO - at Stonehenge. Or watch your favourite horse come in at Salisbury Racecourse. Then get on the home straight back to our tasty restaurant and a great night's sleep in your extra comfy bed.
Sitting by the leafy banks of the River Bourne, this modern budget hotel is a 6-minute drive from the Iron Age hill fort of Old Sarum and 3 miles from Salisbury town centre.
Rooms range from singles to family rooms with 2 pull-out beds (kids aged 15 and under eat and stay free with paying adults). In-room amenities feature free WiFi, pillow-top mattresses and en suite bathrooms with showers, as well as tea and coffeemaking facilities, TVs and desks.
There's an adjoining Table Table restaurant/bar and free parking. Breakfast (an extra cost) includes all-you-can-eat and light choices.
Bedrooms
All of our hotels have bedrooms designed for use by disabled persons. However, the dimensions and nature of the facilities available in these rooms may differ between hotels depending on factors such as the age, design and layout of the building.
The accessible bedrooms are mostly located close to Reception or a lift lobby. However, due to the design and layout of some buildings, this is not always the case.
All of our accessible bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms (see ‘Bathrooms’ section below for details of these).
The bedrooms are designed to allow wheelchair users adequate space to travel around the room and manoeuvre their wheelchair.
A clear space to allow transfer from a wheelchair to the bed is provided on one side of the bed. In some older hotels, which have smaller rooms, it has been necessary for us to replace the kingsize beds in the accessible bedrooms with standard double beds in order to create a suitable transfer space.
In newer hotels, and in existing hotels where space permits, we have provided 6ft ‘zip & link’ beds. These allow the room to be set up as either a double or twin room, thereby providing maximum flexibility for our guests.
The beds provided in our accessible bedrooms should be 480mm in height. This is in accordance with the standards recommended in British Standard 8300:2009 ‘Design of buildings and their approaches to meet the needs of disabled people – Code of Practice’. This height is recommended as it corresponds to the seat height of the majority of wheelchairs and, therefore, facilitates transfer between the wheelchair and the bed.
However, we appreciate that some guests may prefer a higher bed and, if given sufficient advance notice of this at the time of booking, we can arrange to have the bed raised.
Unfortunately, Premier Inn cannot provide mobile hoists. However, should a guest wish to bring their own mobile hoist we can arrange to have the bed raised to accommodate its use, if given sufficient advance notice of this at the time of booking.
All bedrooms are provided with a desk and chair. Where space permits a tub chair and small table are also provided. If during your stay you would like the bedroom furniture rearranged, or an item of furniture removed or provided, please contact Reception and we will do our utmost to assist.
Accessible storage facilities are provided in all bedrooms
The flooring in bedrooms is short pile carpet.
Televisions with a remote control are provided in all bedrooms. These televisions have the facility to display subtitles.
The entrance doors to accessible bedrooms are fitted with wide angle door viewers (spy holes) at both seated and standing levels.
All accessible bedrooms are provided with emergency assistance alarms.
Fire evacuation procedures are displayed on the back of the bedroom door. Guests are reminded to inform Reception if they would require any assistance in the event of a fire evacuation.
Bathrooms
All of our accessible bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms, with wide entry doors for ease of access.
The dimensions of these bathrooms provide adequate turning space for a standard wheelchair.
The toilet in the bathroom is provided with grab rails.
The majority of our bathrooms are fitted with shallow baths, with the bath rim at the same height as the majority of wheelchair seats (480mm), and grab rails around the bath. These aid transfer from a wheelchair to the bath.
Wet room facilities are also available in some of the accessible bedrooms in our newer, and recently refurbished, hotels. These wet rooms have a level access shower rather than a shallow bath. If the use of a wet room is particularly important to you, we strongly recommend that you check availability with the hotel at the time of booking.
All accessible bathrooms are fitted with accessible sinks, with lever taps.
Soap is provided in soap dispensers.
All accessible bathrooms are provided with an emergency assistance pull cord.
Bathroom floors are of a non-slip material.
Bath mats are available from Reception upon request.

Read All ReviewsWhen we arrived found the staff extremely helpful and genuinely friendly. Enough disabled parking bays near the entrance with level access and automatic doors. Excellent room and breakfast. Comfortable rooms as well as wet rooms for disabled. Very large bathroom with low level sink and roll in shower with lots of handrails and sturdy fold down shower seat – an easy transfer from a wheelchair. Very quiet hotel and no road noise. The hotel provided for all our basic needs and our rooms were very comfortable. We had a comfortable and great sleep in the night. Highly recommendable.
I would like to qualify this review by saying that I and my family have stayed in a large number of hotels in different countries over the years. In the UK we have always been very happy with Premier Inn’s. However never have we ever checked into a hotel and then checked straight out.
Check in opens at 3pm we were there at 3:15 to an empty car park but breakfast was booked solid. They only available times were 7am or 10:15. Not great but workable.
We were assigned Room 30 and it stank of damp and mould. It was so bad, it was like a wall of damp and the window was already open. Maybe opened by staff to help disperse the smell but you can imagine how much worse it would be with the window closed.
We spoke to the front desk staff and advised them of the issue. I told them I suffered with Asthma and this was a health issue. Barely an apology and told they have no other rooms. No other help offered, either powerless to do anything or simply not interested.
We returned to the room to call Premier Inn call centre for assistance. You simply can not get through to speak to anyone. The mould in the air was affecting my chest as it was my family. If we stayed in the room then at best we and our belongings would stink of damp, at worst it would make us ill.
So we, for the first time ever, checked straight out. Again nothing of any use from the front desk staff, no assistance in finding another hotel, they could not even process the refund. I was simply given a slip with the guest relations web address and was told to contact them for the refund.
10 minutes sitting my car in the car park and I had booked another (Not Premier Inn) hotel a few miles away and had a great stay.
Now onto the refund. The Good Night Guarantee says speak to the front desk. Done and pointless. Next contact them within seven days of the stay for the refund. I did it that night and had a automated reply saying response time was 35 DAYS!!
Poor customer service.
