Fieldways hotel has been our choice over the past 10 years but on this occasion we were very disappointed with the lack of staff available at any time, seemed a like a “Look after yourself” scenario’ Our main concern was that we paid £24 more than ever before and there was no cooked breakfast!! The toilets were very dated and needed a complete overhaul/clean. My comment to my wife was that I did not think the hotel would stay open for long and that it seemed as though it was going to be closed down at any time! We made the best of what was available because there was no one to
Complain to!

They have tried to improve the room, new carpet and painting but one of the 2 windows had no curtains. The bathroom was dirty, the toilet roll holder had come off the wall and just put on top of the bin and tape put over the holes. The mirror was just propped up against the wall. There was no lamp shades on 3 of the lights. There’s hooks in the walls but nothing hanging on them. There was nowhere to hang your clothes. There’s side door that you use to enter the building is up some stone steps which are not light at night.

Lovely looking building and good parking outside. The owner was really friendly and helpful and made sure I had everything needed for my stay, even walking me around the building so I knew where everything was. Breakfast was a nice spread and fresh which was good. My stay was only 1 night but would return again.

Our worst experience of a B&B!
We were in the highest room in the property. On an extremely hot day with just a single desk fan!
The building is very impressive from the front and does have a lot of its original features. But in general the whole place was in need of some serious TLC!
Didn’t really see a lot of the staff, but when we did there was absolutely no eye contact or polite conversation.
Our room was in need of a good vac and dusting. Should think the dust behind the bathroom door was a years worth of! And lots of mould in the shower area! And a shower that was barely warm. The noise of the macerator was something to behold.
The breakfast was a ‘basic’ continental. All laid out on a fairly small table. The table cloth on our table was dirty with what we assumed was yoghurt. Chose a different table the second morning. It was all self service and if a member of staff entered it was to replenish items and back out quick, without even a ‘Good morning’.
We were at a function not far away on the Saturday night. When we mentioned where we staying several local people were horrified as it had a bad reputation locally.
Thankfully we had a torch to light our way up the stone steps in the dark as they was no outdoor lighting.
So in a summary, book elsewhere! We would like a refund please.

When we got to the hotel we were told that our booking had been cancelled, a member of the hotel family had cancelled it. My husband asked to use the toilet, when he came out he said that the toilet hadn’t been flushed, no toilet paper and it was disgusting.
The receptionist Richard looked like he hadn’t had a wash himself in a month and his clothes looked about the same, they were filthy.
We later found out that the hotel was full of illegal immigrants.
This hotel should not be on hotels.com
It was fortunate that we were able to get a room at the Travel lodge

This hotel makes Faulty Towers look professional! Reception does not open until 4pm and then closes once all of the guests are booked in (he was not very friendly and couldn't leave the building quick enough), no staff are then seen until 8am the next day when a basic continental breakfast is put on and then he disappears again so you're left to your own devices, luckily we were the first ones down for breakfast so we had some choice but a party of cyclists were in the hotel and the first ones down had some breakfast but the later ones had nothing left to eat and there was no staff on site to replenish the milk etc. My advice, pay a bit more, it would be worth it!

Filthy room, no curtains on one window, exposed wiring on walls and dangerous plug socket with big hole in it, I opened a cupboard drawer and found 2 wall lights, obviously for the exposed wires. No soap/shower gel, paint all flaking off the walls in the toilet, general grime.! have seen better looking beds at a council rubbish dump. No food available. The only good thing was the view, if you didn’t look in the car park.

The hotel building itself is beautiful, however the maintenance of it hasn't been upkept in the grounds. The pool was freezing cold, hot tub isn't filled up, sauna was turned off and my partner and I turned it on and got it running. The rooms themselves were comfortable however the system for the water tanks is incredibly loud and woke us up whenever someone in another room flushed a toilet or used a tap. The breakfast food was lovely, very delicious but with a very small amount of staff, I think things struggled to run more smoothly. It was a very basic hotel and for one night, it was good to stay in. However, I would not be rushing to return.

The property is a wonderful grade II listed building with oodles of character. The breakfast room is exquisitely decorated with busts of famous peots in which you can eat a sumptuous cooked full english breakfast. The property is wonderfully peaceful and the beds as beautifully soft and comfortable.

If you are looking for a modern sparse hotel then this is not it, and you should look elsewhere. If you like a wonderful property with bags of history to it then you are in luck!

Characterful building offering comfortable stays

Decent enough place. Slightly dated and creaky but in a characterful way and owners are clearly working hard to tidy the place up. Putting the breakfast waiter into smarter clothes would help as casual tops and shorts really don’t cut a professional image. Above all it was great to stay somewhere that hadn’t got the heating cranked up to crematorium levels and windows that can be opened properly which gave a comfortable nights sleep.

After reading some of the comments, we nearly cancelled. In fact we were pleasantly surprised by the fact that the Hotel and the people running it were really amiable. The building dates back to the early 1800’s with many rooms still untouched. Lots of different rooms to go and spend time with (bring some board games). The pool is quite large, the sauna (excellent), the gym well equipped. The Hotel is not for people expecting a shiny, perfectly polished environment, but if you are looking for something cosy, with a lot of history and you can appreciate some of the unfinished/disused areas (some of which you may be able to explore) than, have a go! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Thanks

Having read some awful reviews about Fieldways just after booking I was a little apprehensive. However I was pleasantly surprised. When you pay only £84 per night for 2 people including a cooked breakfast you really shouldnt expect the Ritz but here are my thoughts.
This is NOT really a hotel as it has no restaurant, it is a B&B
The cooked breakfast was great and freshly cooked when you reach the dining room
The staff are lovely and friendly
Our room was very nice, clean and the bed very comfy
Yes the place is a bit dated but it is a Victorian mansion and much of the decor and furnishings reflect that.
There is no lift and it seems a bit of a rabbit warren at first but you soon get used to it
Someone mentioned smelling damp in the corridors but that wasn’t our experience, it’s more an old house smell.
The house inside, wooden panelling and downstairs rooms etc were lovely to walk around and imagine it being a family home.
Reception is locked at 8pm but you let yourself in with a key after that
The front of the house/garden could do with a bit of a tidy up but overall we enjoyed our stay, would recommend it and would definitely stay again

Would recommend if you have a family and want a place to stay as it is vast and you won't even know anyone else is staying there, so kids can play without worrying about neighbours. there were 4 of us 2 adults a 17 year old and a 13year old boy with autism, was nice not to have to keep saying sorry about the boy he is Autistic, (he had a great time) he said it was a great Vacation.

Basic, no frills but ok for a short stay.

This was once a grand stately home but has now sadly lost its grandeur and needs a lot of work and is now just a basic b&b. Given the price and reviews we weren't expecting a lot. The receptionist was very friendly, the building very quirky and you can see walking through how beautiful this must have been in it heydey. The room was basic but big, and beds and bed linen were all clean and tidy as was most of the room, just don't look at the lampshades or to closely at the windows! Shower was ok. There is lack of plugs but didn't expect anything else given it was basic and an old building. It was a very hot day but would suspect it would be cold in winter.

Breakfast was lovely, the room where breakfast is served is all wood clad and very old and it was lovely to see the original features. There were a selection of cereals, toast and a cooked hot breakfast which was perfect.

If you are looking for luxury this isn't the place but it was comfy, breakfast was lovely and so were the staff and staying in a building with so much history made up for everything else.

Beautiful Hotel. Friendly Staff.

The house is stunning and the staff are so friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was great. Freshly made to order and the chef made us poached eggs even though they weren’t offered on the menu.

We were offered use of the swimming pool (but didn’t use it) and the sitting rooms and breakfast rooms make you believe you are living in a castle.

The only down side was the bedroom. Although clean and comfortable they are dated and would benefit from a good refresh. We stayed in a twin room and there was one single and one double bed but what we liked (being two female friends) is that they were not head to head but quite separate.

The hotel is about 20min walk from the train station. We parked at the hotel early and travelled into bath on the train.

Fieldways four day stay in April 2025

This place was in a very old mansion and it was a fun place for a North American not used to this kind of stay. The owners were very nice and the breakfast was very good BUT… it wasn’t very clean at all and I actually wrote “dust me”on the window sill. It would have been bad for anyone suffering from asthma. It was so cold (April) that we had to wear our hoodies in the room. There was only one small bedside light about as bright as a Christmas tree one. We both couldn’t read because there was an extremely dim ceiling light so I sat on my phone all evening which I did out of desperation for something to do. ( It got dark at 8:00 so we wanted to be back before then) It was a fairly short walk to a pub or restaurant but I use a walker so we drove into the town for dinner which meant my husband couldn’t enjoy a pint which we like to do when in England. The main reason we booked here was because they had a pool. Well, we must be psychic because we just knew that would be the case. It seems to be the case in most hotels lol.
Sad to say, that we can’t recommend this place at all.

There were a number of issues during my stay that fell far below expectations, particularly for the price and the way the hotel is advertised:

The pool, which was a key reason for booking, was closed and had been for at least a week, but this was not mentioned at the time of booking.

The reception area was unusable due to carpet works (presumably following a leak), which were being poorly installed and made the entrance feel unwelcoming.

The room was not clean and in poor repair – curtain rails hanging off, cracked tiles, broken cupboards, and general untidiness.

A boiler outside the room kept me awake, and the fire alarm went off twice during the night, causing further disruption.

The skylight in the room had no blind, making it very bright and uncomfortably hot

Although breakfast itself was good, the tables were cleared with a dustpan and brush, leaving grease and stains on the tablecloths.

There was visible rubbish left throughout the hotel, which had not been cleared during the stay.

At checkout, there was no staff member available. When I spoke to the chef, I was met with unprofessional and upsetting comments: “f'ing say what you like\"

The bed was clean, warm and comfy, the towels were clean. The breakfast was lovely. I had a single room which was ok for a one night stay.
The hosts were lovely and welcoming, but the room I had was in desperate need of some tlc, there were stains on the carpet, the wallpaper was peeling in several places, there was no way to open the windows which were filthy and covered in cobwebs. The door on the shower came off its frame, the arms on the chair were coming loose, if there was an extractor fan in the bathroom then it didn't work.

Rooms need drastically updating, mould around the sink and shower. Breakfast was a joke, freezing cold room to eat in, very limited selection of drinks. I was surprised not to see Manuel from Faulty towers there.

The staff were lovely, wish we'd known beforehand that the pool was closed for repairs, as was looking forward to swimming. Close to local amenities if you drive. Plenty to to in the local area

Fieldways - One night stay

Check in was easy & all staff were extremely friendly & helpful . No doubt in it's day , this was an amazing very high end luxury home but is currently in need of a little TLC . The breakfast & dining room need to be seen to be really appreciated & made up for the tired bedroom which I did sleep ok in . Breakfast was cooked to order & was very good . No evening meals but the Codfather fish & chip restaurant is just a few minutes away in town was also really good with great staff .

Beautiful property. Loved the character of the old mansion and the decor within the home. Check in was pleasant and easy. The TV channel selection was good compared to other places in our travels, which helps with children.

Rooms were clean, however there was no soap provided to wash your hands in the room, which was inconvenient. We didn’t have a great sleep as the beds are quite hard, and the pillow cases had a damp towel unfresh scent that was my biggest complaint. Other than that, it was good for the price point and fine for one night.

Worthwhile

Lovely hotel does need a little tlc but that didn’t really deter my stay, service was lovely and breakfast was freshly cooked like the old radio style in the breakfast room

Good value but bedrooms need improvement

I'd like to start by saying, for the money, I was very satisfied.
After a long drive it felt very welcoming pulling up to a picturesque converted 1800s manor house with plenty of parking in the front garden area. The room itself was spacious and quiet, I opted for the double. The breakfast was freshly prepared and tasty. I didn't get a chance to try out the pool area or bar. Maybe next time!
There are some pretty grand communal rooms with impressive carpentry, antique furniture and comfortable seating areas.
Unfortunately, the interior of the bedrooms feel as though they were kitted out rather cheaply around 30 to 40 years ago. Handles are falling off doors and the furniture is similar to student accommodation. I wouldn't have minded so much except the bed was like sleeping on a ground mat. I like a firm mattress but this one was solid enough to interrupt my sleep. A bit of a shame given I paid for the double room in the vain hope it would be more comfortable. This was honestly my only problem. Other than that it was a very pleasant stay for great value.

Lovely but sad

The room was small, but it was the black mold all around the bathroom and shower, scraped paint, peeling wallpaper, toilet that variably flushed (or not), the sink faucets that would not stop running unless turned off so hard you could not open them again later, and two lonely hangers in the wardrobe that made this stay so disappointing. Lovely house, but needs some cosmetic work and maintenance on the rooms. Also - the WiFi so weak it never appeared for the room, only in the breakfast room or lounge. Such a gorgeous place, I would love to see it again restored to its old glory.

Ok for a night.

The hotel building is a old quirky manor house.
Staff were lovely and welcoming and explained a lot which was hard to remember but helpful.
We were in room 4 which was nice with a balcony and green view over front.
Beds were clean and comfy and tv worked but all looked like it needs a bit of TLC
But the bathroom needs help. We only stayed one night as we were travelling but didnt want to be in bathroom for long as the fan when light turned on sounded like a helicopter.... it was so loud! Plus again needs TLC and a refresh.
Breakfast was yummy and the breakfast room had everything you needed from coffee and tea to juice and fruit. You do need to fill in a breakfast form the day b4 as its run and cooked by one lady on her own as far as we could see.
There was no Wifi that either of us could pick up even tho it was advertised.
Great price and would stay again but only if it was one night.

You get what you pay for - it's a simple room that does the job for a couple of nights.

The good:
- Really nice and helpful staff who do their best to make your stay as good as it can be
- Good breakfast, with a gluten free option
- Good transport links into Trowbridge town centre (essentially just down the road) with a bus stop right outside the hotel to go to Trowbridge or Devizes or another bus stop down the road to get to Melksham etc.
- Pricing is reasonable for what you get
- Room was clean with a good selection of tea/coffee and a small TV with all the channels you'd need.

The bad:
- Small team of staff means that reception is often unstaffed as they are busy with other tasks around the building.
- Breakfast was late on both mornings, despite booking it the day before. This meant that I had to rush to catch my busses.
- The building itself is fairly old and in need of some repairs. Loud pipes (especially when someone in the building flushed the toilet), minimal soundproofing (but generally quiet so not that big of a problem), and my room had a window and curtain that wouldn't shut properly.

Would consider staying again if the budget didn't allow for a better option.

Staff were lovely room ok but needing some TLC whole place could be fantastic if only the owners were to invest some cash into the place. To attract cash, investment is definitely needed if this place is to survive!
