Extremely comfortable and clean. Friendly staff. It was very quiet although over a pub/restaurant. The food was freshly cooked and a very good value breakfast. Although we had dietary requirements it was no problem that foods were changed and cooked in a different was. Chef exceeded our expectations. Food couldn't have been better as it was all delicious Lovely fluffy bath sheets and not tiny towels as in most hotels. Would definitely stay again when we are next in the area.

Lynn United Kingdom

Shae United Kingdom

I was very happy with my stay here. My first time in Swindon and first time staying in a pub accommodation. The staff were wonderful and very welcoming. The room was very clean and had everything I needed including some extras like small kettle and lots of hot drinks. The bed and sheets were comfortable and of good quality. Free parking was a plus too. Excellent price! Also, I find it very relaxing that I can have diner and drinks in the lovely pub downstairs after a busy day. Highly recommend and will definitely visit it again. Thank you so much for the great experience. Best wishes
