I have stayed in many hotels but this was one of the best. The staff were very friendly and accommodating the hotel rooms here large and nicely decorated. The gardens provided a perfect setting for a late evening drink and winding down after a busy day. Yes there are probably, better hotels out there but for our stay this was a 5 Star event.

Staff were friendly and pleasant, but I wasn’t asked how my stay was on checkout so was unable to provide my feedback in person.
This hotel is well situated and the room was large. The bed was comfortable, good linen, towels and a decent shower.
However, the hotel is tired and whilst a full refurb would be very costly there could easily be a few improvements made, e.g. new shower curtain and rail to remove mould and prevent it happening again, new bathroom blind again to remove mould, replace the lights along the walkway from the car park as this is dangerous at night with uneven slabs.
Unfortunately the plumbing from the nextdoor room was extremely noisy and woke me early in the morning.
Breakfast was tasty and there was an adequate selection. Staff were welcoming and helpful with requests. They offered to help with baggage at check in and asked if I would be having dinner.

Stayed for one Saturday night, was greeted at the front desk and shown into our room, they accepted my request for a lower floor room. Room was very spacious, clean and had all amenities you’d expect. Bathroom was also large. Decor is fitting with style and age of building, giving it character. Comfy bed and quiet during the night. Parking was free and a 1 min walk from entrance. Breakfast consisted of cooked options including sausage, bacon, fried eggs, tomatoes and mushrooms, toast was ordered and served, cold options were mini croissants, cereal, yoghurt & fruit. Tea & coffee was served and fruit juice available, on the table was a selection of jams & spreads. Breakfast staff were friendly and attentive. Would 100% stay here again.

This is a wonderful building in its own beautiful and peaceful grounds. There is ample parking space. It is also very close to both rail (Swindon-to-London or Bristol) and road transport (M4). The building has some magnificent architectural features - like the staircase from the foyer and beautiful crown moulding throughout. Our room was huge with two bay windows - it was beautifully decorated and our bathroom had both a shower and a bath-tub. We received a very warm welcome and were escorted to our room. The excellent breakfast was served in the spacious bar area - dinner is also available but we did not try that.

The room we were given looked nothing like the photos advertised. It was grotty with wall paper hanging off in various places. It’s very dated but has lots of potential with what looks like beautiful grounds. We didn’t stay for dinner out of principal, we don’t like false advertising. The breakfast was poor with instant coffee being given to us in a cafetière. I would have been happy paying £75 for this place but not £120.
False pictures for our double room, dated, and I mean who gives instant coffee in a cafetière.

Lovely small country house style hotel

Our small family and friends group had such a lovely stay at this small country house style hotel. The stay was absolutely excellent value and suited our needs for a welcome dinner and bed and breakfast stop, as part of a Ridgeway walking holiday. We had two executive double rooms, they were very spacious and one had a comfy sofabed. Lovely crisp white bedding and towels. Rooms were well equipped and had everything we needed (tea/coffee making, iron, hairdryer etc.). There were no mini toiletries in bathrooms, which was fine for us as I think there is often a lot is plastic wastage from these. A couple of areas of the hotel could do with some updating in the near future, including the courtyard garden, as a spruce up would make it more enjoyable to sit in. Some of the external paintwork on the accomodation area e.g. window sills could do with painting/repair. However, the main building is beautiful, and everything internally was clean, pleasant and comfortable. The restaurant had very good service, a good menu of tasty options, and quite a reasonably priced wine list. I would recommend this hotel as a great option for lots of different types of guests.

Beautiful building in lovely grounds.
Fantastic staff, great breakfast.
I was very pleased to find a last minute pet friendly booking for the bank holiday Saturday.

why did I not rate this 5 star…On arrival I was informed that my single room was on the top floor (3 flights of stairs) with no lift. Fortunately this was not actually a problem although I am well into may 70s.
The bed however was a problem - I could feel all the springs, so did not have a good nights sleep which was the purpose of breaking my journey. I knew every time one of my fellow ‘attic’ dwellers used the bathroom - the plumbing rumbled very loudly.
I also had to ask for toiletries. Surely standard in a hotel of this class.
I’m sure though if I had had one of the rooms on a lower floor things would have been different.

Management, you need to check the bed in room 14!

Gorgeous building and gardens

The building and grounds are beautiful. The restaurant for evening meals is fairly expensive but the complimentary breakfast was a self serve buffet style and was very tasty.
The room was very spacious and staff were very friendly in sorting the additional bed for our son. Some furnishings are dated and some marks on the walls and older marks on the toilet but for the age of the building we were not affected by.
The only issue to me was the mattress it was extremely hard and for me really uncomfortable, hubby said the opposite so each to everyone’s own taste I suppose.
