Carole Diane
My room was up a flight of not very well light stairs causing me to miss the last step it was above the bar and entertainment room, live music started 9PM and finished 11PM fine until more music started, at 11.50PM I rang down to see how long it will last, I was told 10mins, never happened, I rang at 1.10AM to ask again, someone hung up on me then finally it stopped.
In the room Breakfast was advertised from 8AM never started until 8.30 as I had a ferry to catch in Poole it was all a mad rush.
Lovely village but I would not use this hotel again

The room was clean,the staff were extremely helpful, however the room was not serviced after the first night which im not sure if that was a one off,also had to ask for toilet paper as it was not replaced

This is a great pub in a village location. We stayed on a Saturday night so expected noise up until closing time. Bed comfortable, a couple of bottles of water and toiletries in the bathroom was a nice touch.
Staff were very friendly. We stayed when it was hot outside so room was very warm which resulted in an unpleasant sleep. As we were in the rooms outside the pub which are single story we didn’t feel comfortable keeping the windows open all night. A fan could have assisted. Overall the stay was good value for money.

Hazel
Room and bathroom were clean however bathroom was in need of some refurbishment, also floor of shower was very slippery when wet. Staff were very pleasant, breakfast was fine although would have liked a selection of fresh fruit.
Pedro

breakfst not really fresh, like the fruits
Jack
The Barrington looks a bit tired but the room was excellent clean and spacious.Breakfast offered a good range and ticked all the boxes Staff were amiable and helpful. Decent parking options available and public transport right outside the door. Not the Ritz but fully met our expectations.
Hilary
Hotel very convenient for my needs and the room in the courtyard was. Quiet and clean - however nowhere to hang clothes which was surprising. Even a couple of hooks would have been welcome. Bed extremely comfortable. The staff were very helpful and the freshly cooked to order breakfast very good. There was no food on a Monday so ate at the pub just over the road as recommended and it was delicious.
Raymond

Yes the room was clean
John
My room was in the older part of the main pub, and whilst some of the building was ageing, the room was well looked after and comfortable. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating to all requests. This is a traditional homely hotel and excellent value for money. Highly recommended.
Chris
Welcoming, clean and great breakfast
David
A useful place to stay when visiting Avebury. Basic rustic accommodation. Unfortunately, when we arrived we discovered that the kitchen was closed other than for breakfasts. However, the Prince of Wales across the road was open for meals. We had two cooked breakfasts here, deliciously cooked by different staff. All the staff we met were friendly and helpful, prividing a home away from home experience. Bed was comfy and we slept soundly. Our dog was treated wonderfully.
Allan
Suggested improvements would be upgrading the sockets to USB ones & adding a mirror in the bedroom.
Staff were helpful & friendly provided a relaxed welcoming service. We thought it great value for the price paid.
We were impressed with the size of the room and how quiet it was so we had great sleep. Shower pressure was amazing.
Would definitely stay again.

Great Location for RIAT!
Was myself and my friend who stayed here for 2 nights for the Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford. Great location for a 25 minute travel between the two places.
Slight hiccup upon arrival but sorted very quickly.
The owner (Ben) is a delightful guy who very much went out of his way to make up for the hiccup, and couldn't have been nicer or done more. He even made up a breakfast bag for me to take with me when I departed early on my last morning. Thank you Ben!
The bar area in general is a great size, loads of space to move about. There's a pool table, darts board, and a TV available in the bar area.
there are two outside seating areas, one of which has a number of tables and large umbrellas, the other on a grassy area beyond the rear car park.
A couple of things which could be improved.
Could do with at least one more member of bar staff. When we arrived, Zack was the only guy in there (it seemed) and he was running around trying to do his best, but was clearly in need of assistance.
Food that we had was great, looked great, tasted lovely, and a decent size, menu was a little small but that's being really picky as I'm a fussy eater.
Overall my experience was positive, and will likely stay there again. Thanks to the team who did a great job.

A little haphazard
Our room had a recently refurbished bathroom, which was good (although the machine linked to the toilet did make an unexpected noise from time-to-time). However, the overall feeling was that the hotel was poorly organised. In particular, the breakfast arrangements were slow and insufficient thought had been put into thinking about what the clients might need (and not know where to find) etc.
Chris
Really good stay, comfortable bed, lovely shower, excellent breakfast
Verified traveler
Friendly, spotless, well cared for room
Warm and friendly welcome. Room immaculately clean and tidy. Friendly breakfast service. Hot breakfasts cooked to order.
Susan
Friendly Staff, pleasant village.
Lovely area friendly staff, only problem was the bed has wooden sides and a low mattress which means you hurt the back of your legs trying to get out of bed the mattress needs higher.
Ross
Room did the job, booked a double bed but got 2 singles. Bed was a bit springy, maybe a mattress topper but overall no issues.
Christine
The staff were all friendly and helpful. The hotel is in the middle of a nice friendly village.
Steve
Great little room
GREAT little purpose built rooms out the rear with its own rear parking. Ideal stay for a family get together. Large bathroom and comfy bed
Anna
Good overnight stay
Clean room, powerful shower and pleasant situation. The walls were a bit thin so you could hear cisterns refilling and you could feel the springs through the mattress. Also the tv did not work and neither did the bathroom mirror light. The outdoor garden was nice and the staff were friendly and cheerful.
Tony
First stay in the hotel as we came up from Isle of Wight to visit our son and his family. Staff very friendly and helpful, will be our first choice for future trips and stays to Shrivenham.
Terence
Very Pleasant Stay
We had a very pleasant 3 night stay. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout from initial welcome to final farewell.
The room was large enough clean and warm, the bed had a solid frame, the mattress was softer than my preference but my wife was happy. The bathroom was large with a spacious powerful shower.
We had a continental breakfast on our 1st morning which was supplemented with cooked to order options at the weekend. A particular highlight was the fresh berries on offer. Shrivenham is is a small a quiet setting giving a peaceful night's sleep which is a big plus compared to many Swindon hotels

More light please
The lighting in our room was a bit dull even with all lights on. Also, there was no bedside lamp on one side which meant using a torch to read!
Jill
I would return here
Our stay was good. We were in rooms at the back of the pub which suited us well. They were warm and clean. The young man who served breakfast was a credit to the hotel. He was very friendly and attended to our large group of 12 in a relaxed but wfficient manner.
Tony
Dog friendly hotel good value
We were visiting friends in the village.
Room was nice and warm, staff very helpful, good selection at breakfast. We opted for the full English which was good.
Perfect do our stay plus dog friendly.

The Barrington Arms Hotel review
A good hotel, that served continental breakfast and dinner.
The room was tidy and clean with all the amenities I needed.
My only complaint was that dinner is not served on a Monday night.

The staff made us feel very welcome and breakfast was delicious. Shrivenham is a beautiful village and the Barrington Arms was perfectly located for our stay. Can’t beat it for value for money.
Paul
One night only.
Friendly and welcoming hotel. However the service at dinner was poor as we had to go to the bar to order both courses.
