PRE-WEDDING DATE NIGHT Located in Hertfordshire, The Salisbury Arms Hotel has undergone a total refurbishment and revamp to add even more wow factor. After closing down for six months, the team have been working hard to completely transform the entire building while still maintaining many of its original features and character. They’ve opened two parts of the bar to add a better flow to the area, updated the restaurant for a more formal feel and added a stunning courtyard perfect for gathering in the summer months. The staff have kept the small Snug room at the front of the building for small gatherings and afternoon teas. The reception area has been completely opened up for a more welcoming and relaxed feel for guests when checking in. All the bedrooms were fully refurbished, with a minimum of a king-sized bed in each. There are two accessible rooms through the courtyard for guests who can’t quite manage the stairs. The signatures and some of the boutique rooms have beautiful free-standing baths – some even feature double showers. The Hotel isn’t just the perfect location for pre-wedding getaways but can also host wedding receptions. Read more about the wedding spaces on page 22.
