Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was warm enough, though the dining area was a little chilly due to its former classroom height and the freezing outside temperature. The rooms were well-fitted out with high-quality bedding, pillows, and towels. However, the breakfast was bland, the bed was too soft, and there were no terms & conditions provided.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms on the ground floor, suitable for people with limited accessibility. In autumn/winter, the rooms are clean and comfortable, equipped with tea and coffee facilities, an iron, and a hairdryer. The location is fabulous, ideal for a break during a long drive, close to Royal Wootton Bassett. The dining experience features excellent locally produced meals, especially Tonny and Karen's breakfast. Facilities are well-maintained, ensuring a pleasant stay.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with basic amenities. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the dining experience is fabulous. The location is good for various activities but has a strong smell of cigarettes at times.
