Don't go there

Terrinle room, above the kitchen. Absolutely boiling hot with no air conditioning. The constant smell of food and the awful drone of the extractor unit. The room I stayed in was called "The Courtyard" I might as well have slept in the courtyard, I would have had a better night sleep. Never again.

Definitely worth a stay

A very comfortable stay. Room was very clean and tidy. Bathroom could do with a bit of TLC, although the shower was good, with plenty of hot water. We stayed on a Saturday night, so there was a party with music in the pub downstairs but this didn’t overly disturb us. We both had a lovely nights sleep.

Comfortable accommodation.

Had to approach bar for service. Very limited interaction - just escorted to room and provided key. No information provided. Bars of soap provided on bathroom sink, and not pump soap. Difficult to get soap off hands. Room comfortable enough.

Great home base to visit the Cotswalds. Very clean, comfortable and spacious room above the really cool pub. Staff was excellent as well. Free parking too. Th e only issue was that the pub got loud on Friday night. It really didn’t bother us but I could see some early birds getting a bit annoyed. Otherwise great place and a great value

The place to Stay in Swindon.

There isn’t anything I can say negative about the Place. We have stayed there before and now decided whenever we return to Swindon we would not stay anywhere else. It’s such a Friendly place and the Staff are so helpful and obliging. Rooms are immaculate. Everything you need is there and spotlessly clean. Food great and Breakfast outstanding. What more can I say. Well Done to the whole team can’t wait to return.
