Rooms
Accommodation at Salomons Estate offers a mixed experience for guests, with the rooms consistently described as clean and comfortable, albeit on the basic side. Most rooms are located in a modern annex building on the estate, with a feel reminiscent of student dormitory-style accommodation. While some guests appreciated the simplicity and cleanliness, others found the rooms to be a bit bland, outdated, or in need of refurbishment.

Guests who stayed in the estate's cottages, such as Lavender Cottage, reported a more pleasant experience, praising their immaculate cleanliness and well-equipped facilities.

Ventilation issues on hot days were a common complaint, with fans provided as a necessity.

The setting of Salomons Estate is widely admired, with its stunning architecture and beautiful surroundings enhancing the overall appeal. However, the location of the rooms, often requiring a steep walk, and occasional noise from the communal areas could affect one's stay.

While basic and in need of a few updates, the rooms offer good value for money, especially for those prioritizing cleanliness and functionality over luxury.
