    It was situated right next to a main road but other than that it was perfect. I guess it's really easy to find being next to main road.

    Amazing accommodation with really quirky style apartments. It was located near a really nice big park with a massive lake which was nice to walk around after breakfast which was included and very nice. A perfect spot to stay when in Swindon.

    Breakfast was served from 8 which is quite late for a work related stay. Also, a bit disappointed as there was no fruit, yogurt or heathy cold options, only high sugar cereals. The noise from the pub beer garden can seep through in the evening. It is open until 11pm.

    Not like a chain hotel which makes it nice. Well equipped room with all necessaries like kettle, iron, hairdryer and good coffee (Tylers) and biscuits. Big car park next to the Inn Located close to a park, nice area for walking or jogging.

    Nothing, it was lovely all around

    Beautiful surroundings and was very cosy - live entertainment at the pub next door too. Loved seeing the wildlife surrounding first thing in the morning heading down the steps of the apartmemt on my way to work.

    The local traffic noise which obviously can't be helped, it didn't bother us but one of the residents moaned about noise

    The staff were lovely, the food is good,room was comfortable and location is beautiful albeit by a busy dual carriageway. The pub is warm and cosy. The outside has plenty of seating area whether you're popping in on your way home from work or going for a catch-up with loved ones, there's a play area for kids, it's pretty good. If you want to stay somewhere with good atmosphere and good food, this is the place for you

    Not that I didn't like the room or my stay, I would just suggest that it could possibly do with a bit of a refurb as looking a little tired in places.

    Staff, location, cleanliness.

    Other than maybe extra sausage and piece of bacon on the breakfast there was not a single thing I could complain about during my stay. I was not very well that week either so the fact that I have nothing to complain about just adds to how good the experience was.

    Breakfast was nice, staff were fantastic and very helpful and facilities were top notch. The room was fantastic I literally couldn't have asked for a better atmosphere and stay.

    The mattress wasn’t too comfortable, but was adequate for a fairly decent nights sleep.

    So much better than the ‘chain hotels’ in Swindon. By far the best experience we have had locally. The staff were accommodating, the room was of a very good size and was great they accommodated our dog. The bathroom was the best I’ve had in a hotel, heated floor - say no more! The shower was huge, powerful and hot.

    Other people walked right past my rooms window, so if I wanted to get changed, I either had to go to the bathroom, or close over the curtains and put the light on, so a net curtain would’ve been a nice addition.

    Well located with regards to the people I was visiting, and easy enough to get transport or even walk to the town. Next to a pub allowing for a relaxing evening, and the room is comfortable and inviting. Bathroom had underfloor heating which was a godsend with the temperature dropping below zero.

    Trouble with heating the room on a very cold night. I mentioned it at reception. The owner sorted it really efficiently. Another radiator was brought to my room. He checked the boiler and thermostat. I ended up with a cosy warm room. Can’t say fairer than that. I was impressed and I have rebooked for later in the week.
