    Unable to provide an evening meal until 8.45pm because of staff shortage, we had indicated we would be eating in when we booked, a local pub was suggested which was very good for food options.

    Private parking at rear even though access was rather narrow, thankfully we had been warned.

    A little tired in places with very steep small steps to our bedroom, but it adds to the charm of this lovely hotel. The staff were lovely. Very welcoming and it felt they genuinely were happy to be working there. Excellent location for us attending a family get together.

    Maybe housekeeping could have serviced our room during our stay.We stayed two nights.So maybe didn't think it necessary.

    Ambience and feel of the hotell was really nice We stayed in the Highworth Room.which was lovely.Nice views down the High Street.Loved the window seats.

    Only issue we had was the postcode didn’t get us to the property. Did the old fashioned trick of asking someone and they helped.

    The bedroom was spacious, clean and perfect for our family of 5. The staff were exceptional with our kids and helpful throughout.

    Piles of washing in the stairs by our room was a little off putting. Music was very loud in the evening playing till gone 11pm with no customers, I had to get up and ask when it was going to switched off, to which the staff did turn it off. Breakfast was disappointing not much in the way of contental or any juice very basic but hot breakfast was good. Parking is not for the nervous very tight but knew that before we arrived.

    The room it self was clean and well decorated had everything we needed. ( bed frame was loose and could do with tightening up) Staff were helpful at checking in and out.

    There was a smell of drains downstairs at the bottom of the stairs. Was disappointed that around 4 when I was hoping to eat, I was only offered a sandwich option.

    Room was comfortable but I did pay £148 for one night.

    The room was very cold, tried to get a meal at about 4 pm and was told we could only have a sandwich because there was a Xmas party on. I think when you pay £148 for the night they should accommodate you.

    The room was lovely and clean

    Checking in was a bit odd, staff were really welcoming and kind but it was at the Bar which was very busy hosting what possible was a wake. It was really uncomfortable. Plus there was an odd smell throughout the corridors.

    Quiet room, comfy bed, warm with soft lights and radio on when we arrived. Great Breakfast! Staff really cheerful and friendly where ever you saw them and really helpful 😊

    No lift, so pack light. The huge number of laundry bags left piled up in a stairwell was an unwelcome sight near our room.

    Location suited our needs for a short stay. On-site parking was handy, although you had better check the width of your vehicle against the tight access, we squeezed in but some might not. The hotel was busy with a function when we arrived, but nevertheless staff were friendly and helpful, and accommodated a last-minute dinner reservation. Service at dinner was excellent, as was the food and wine. Breakfast was very good, freshly cooked, tasty and plentiful, and again good service and staff very helpful.
