Great location. The staff were very friendly and helpful
nothing to dislike
Clean and quiet
The breakfast time is set, so if you wake early you have to wait for your slot. Never experienced that before.
Sehr gute Küche
The room was large and very clean and had everything we could want. The staff were sms ing and very friendly.
Nothing. It was great
Very clen ,comfortable and friendly
A lot of youths smoking by the skipsnext to accomodation
Everything was perfect! Very friendly and helpful staff. The room was of a good size, it was very clean, the breakfasts were excellent with plenty of options and with the ability to make custom adjustments. We had dinner one night and the food was excellent for both taste and presentation. Great location for travelling to various places around cotswold.
Good location - easy to access from main road through Swindon and close to our family. Easy to park. Able to access pub for evening meal. Breakfast included.
Some traffic noise when windows open.
Accommodation is clean and well presented, with easy access to rooms from the carpark. Pub/restaurant clean and tidy.,
The evening meal did feel rushed from arrival of starter and main meal. The young ladies waiting tables weren't overly polite and seemed to lack training, plate 'donked' onto the table without a word!.
Size of room
The way the breakfast was served,bit odd
Good location friendly staff
Clean and food good
Me encantó el diseño del comedor , el desayuno es muy abundante y todo está muy rico.
Le falta el aire acondicionado porque el ventilador no refresca igual.
Room kept in excellent order, Clean
The miserable staff moaning about her boss...Microwave wasn't working
Very well located, lovely comfortable room. Breakfast was very nice. Staff were friendly.
TV remote didn’t work, TV had been disconnected from the aerial and switched off at the plug. When I managed to reconnect the aerial, and switch it on, it wouldn’t connect to any service. Disappointed. Also, on the second morning, my breakfast turned up with half a mushroom. I did query if they were running out and was told yes, and they cut the bigger ones in half. Apart from that, the breakfast was lovely.
Ease of check in, helpful bar staff, great choice if food, lovely quiet room

L'ottima colazione, la comodità e spaziosità della stanza e del bagno
Nulla
Lovely place to spend a night
Schöne Zimmer
Excellent dinner and breakfast
A very noisy lovemaking session in the room next door
Large room, comfortable and clean.
Could do with tissues, shower caps, body lotion in bathroom. Toilet hard to flush.
Breakfast was good
My wife didn't like the pillows
Great location friendly helpful staff
Breakfast was beautiful staff where lovely
La camera e il bagno sono molto belli, moderni e confortevoli. Ci è stato lasciato anche un apprezzato set di benvenuto (due bottiglie d’acqua e due pacchi di biscotti). Abbiamo cenato nell’albergo e il cibo era molto buono. I prezzi del pub forse leggermente sopra la media considerando la posizione, ma la qualità del cibo era ottima. Buonissima la colazione della mattina.
Dinner and Breakfast were excellent, Room was clean.
One staff member seemed very off, not sure if it was just with me or if that was her demeanor. The ret of the staff were great.
Chambre spacieuse, confortable et bien équipée. Restaurant/pub sur place avec nourriture variée. Personnel sympathique et efficace. Possibilité de garer sa voiture gratuitement. Bon emplacement pour faire des circuits dans les cotswolds.
Nécessité de fermer les fenêtres pour dormir à cause de la proximité de la route (très bonne isolation phonique)
Prima kamers
Bij aankomst is eerste indruk niet goed, ziet er verwaarloosd uit, maar dan blijkt het hotel achter de pub te liggen
Always an excellent stay, very clean friendly staff.
I have stayed here numerous times with my crafting friends, each of us in our own room. This time I stayed by myself as I was so used to the hotel, bar, staff etc and felt safe to do so as a solo traveller. My stay (2 nights) was as good as ever, friendly and welcome staff, other guests were greeting me at breakfast. I felt totally safe on my own 😊
Only thing I didn’t like was the price, which I understand is no doubt due to being school summer holidays, however it was double to what I pay when I stay in April.
Very clean, food was great and the staff were quite frankly amazing. couldn't fault my stay at all.
Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great.
I'm not a great fan of carverys so we ate our evening meal. This is just a personal preference so not judgement on the quality of the food in the White Hart. Also the early finish Sunday didn't suit our preferred time to eat our evening meal.
Perfect

Clean and good break
Room lovely very spacious and clean Staff warm and friendly Breakfast fresh and hot
Excellent breakfast and very good location for our trip. Much quiter than we expected. We would stay there again.
Everywhere clean and tidy. Comfortable beds and great parking. I booked this room for my colleagues who are working in the area and have already booked it again at their request.
Nothing
The location is just off a busy roundabout but my stay was perfect. The room was clean and comfortable and the staff were pleasant and helpful. We stayed on a Sunday night so the restaurant was closed but the breakfast was superb.
- Hôtel très bien situé, tout près de la grand route (mais calme). - On est à proximité des Cotswolds, et pour un prix très raisonnable. - Place de parking assurée. - Excellent full English breakfast. - Chambre vaste, propre et fonctionnelle, installations sanitaires récentes et en très bon état (vaste douche). - Personnel agréable.
- Étonnamment, il n'y avait pas de brosse pour les toilettes!
Excellent breakfast
Toilet flush not working Hotel room door needed maintenance as we couldn't get out. It was reported.
Camera ampia e spaziosa e in posizione molto comoda per raggiungere le destinazioni principali da visitare. Camera anche molto silenziosa. La colazione molto buona e c’è la possibilità di cenare in struttura.
Mancano gli scopini in bagno ma credo sia una mancanza diffusa in Inghilterra perché non ne ho trovati anche nelle altre strutture.
It was clean and comfortable
The toilet flash button was hard to press
Excellent room, great breakfast and great evening meal
Plenty of parking no problem with traffic noise fan in room to keep temperatures down Excellent Breakfast and service Bar staff very friendly
Could be improved with air con
Spacious well decorated room, well ventilated and cool despite the 26 degrees outside. Both the evening meal and cooked breakfast were excellent catering for my gluten free diet (with choices of dessert not just the common fob-off of brownie or ice cream you find elsewhere). Staff were all round excellent and helpful including on reception, on the bar and in the restaurant.
Nothing to dislike. The burger was a bit dry but was quality meat so it tasted great. French fries were a bit overcooked so they broke rather than could be stabbed by the fork to eat. But absolutely nothing else to critique.
Large room, bed was very large. a good size bathroom with a walk in shower. Plenty of hot water.
Our room was on the ground floor, next to the main entrance to the accommodation. Unfortunately the slamming of the door woke me up quite a few times. I would stay here again, just not on the ground floor or near the main door.
Perfect place to stay. Friendly and the rooms were immaculate. Breakfast was superb too :-)
Size of the bed
No air con
King size, comfortable bed Excellent location Good bar selection of beers/ciders etc Food was lovely
Initially the light was not working due to missing lightbulb- this was reported and fixed by the second night Housekeeping only replenished one bath towel and one hand towel daily for our entire stay despite there being two of us which meant one of us had to use a hand towel Toilet flush was faulty and took a couple of tries to actually work.
Clean and comfortable. Breakfast was excellent.
Was hot although there was a fan in the room.
Good location for travelling to Bath,food in restaurant was very nice,room was large and comfy.
Was very hot both mornings for breakfast,yoghurts,margarine,butter,fruit juice all left in sun,no ice around them.
Great service. Comfy beds and clean room. Fans in every room. Great restaurant with exceptional service. The breakfast was delicious. Parking was awesome.
The showers had very low water pressure.
Great little pub/hotel perfect for what we wanted. Wife loved it for the generous room size, how clean it was and how comfortable it was. Even had the England game on a big screen with a civilised fans as well. Food was excellent and breakfast was almost 100% perfect. Could have eaten it all over again.
It was just missing a fridge but to be honest, it was only missed because of the hot weather.
Great Breakfast included. Good parking included.
Room was hot and did not cater for the warm temps. Had to open window for some ventilation and traffic was noisy. Dined in Hotel and it was uncomfortably hot - needs Air Conditioning.
Clean comfortable perfect for our needs
Due to the weather air conditioning would have been a bonus. Might need to be considered if these summers are going to continue
Spacious, well-furnished, room with an excellent walk-in shower. Usual tea tray provisions. Fan on a stand provided some relief from the heat. Had a good meal in the restaurant - we were not advised to book but we probably should have been. Breakfast, which had to be pre-ordered, was nicely cooked and presented but it would have been nice to be offered more tea/coffee (could have asked of course). Overall though, a very good visit and we would use again if that way
Location is excellent for those travelling but inevitably that means a location near a busy road. The fan was much appreciated but only air conditioning would allow you to keep the windows closed and shut-out the traffic noise.
Too hot room.
Proximity to where I was working. Comfortable bed. Tea/coffee making facilities. Good shower.
On arrival the first room I was offered was extremely dark and tatty with wallpaper coming off walls. When using the bathroom the loo wouldn’t flush and then the flush and cistern cabinet disintegrated hitting my hand as it fell. I complained and was moved to a different room, I dont like having to choose my cooked breakfast or croissants before 8pm the night before. The choice of other things for breakfast was poor. Only a fan to help cool the room which was very noisy. The car noise from A420 and A419 when windows were opened, made doing that untenable. There was no air conditioning. It was 34 degrees outside.
Rooms and ensuite bathrooms much larger than expected. Bedrooms are in a separate building from the pub/restaurant and are quieter than you would expect. Good breakfasts.
Restaurant closes quite early. But no problem to get a delivery to the room.
Good
Staff excellent. Clean comfortable rooms. Beautiful outside areas
Toilet handle didnt work properly Door to room needs maintenance as we got trapped in room. I did report it.
Plenty of space in bedrooms to move around the king sized bed. Nice well appointed shower room. Tea/coffee and biscuits in our room on arrival, we asked at reception each day for top up on tea bags and milk. Room refreshed, clean towels on second day. Breakfast was cooked to order and really tasty.
No air conditioning, but a fan was provided. Bathroom floor got very slippery after a shower.
Clean rooms, huge very comfortable bed. Friendly staff. I liked that the accommodation was separate from the pub but that that facility was available.
Nothing - loved everything
Convenient and so close to the M4. Staff were so friendly and cheerful Great Breakfast and dinner was very nice
Nothing
The property cleanliness was fantastic. Great location nice & quiet
Breakfast and lunch hours could be longer only a 2 hour slot
Mooie nette en grote kamer.
Langs een drukke weg. Het was warm geweest dus sliepen met de raam open maar dat was erg rumoerig.
Location as it is close to the exit . Spacious bathrooms and rooms . Good parking lot.
None
Excellent value for money. The staff were very helpful.
Better lighting over mirrior, or a magnification mirror for make up.
It had space to move it wasn’t cramped it had quite a bit of space
Very comfortable room, dinner was excellent, we were eating with friends and two of us had fillet of sea bass which was cooked to perfection, one chicken breast dish and one fish and chips which were also very well cooked and presented. Breakfast was a little limited.
Breakfast choices.
Leuke tussenstoplocatie voor onze reis
Excellent breakfast Had a meal every evening food was excellent with a good varied choice Location was good with good parking near the accommodation All staff were cheerful and very helpful
Not impressed with Sky News at breakfast something a bit more cheerful would be nice
Stayed here many times over the years, rooms are always clean, staff are always friendly, helpful and welcome and the breakfast is always delicious
Very well presented & large car park

Πολύ καθαρό και ευρύχωρο δωμάτιο και φιλικό προσωπικό!
Σίγουρα θα ήταν χρήσιμο να υπάρχει ένα μικρό ψυγείο στο δωμάτιο από την στιγμή που δεν παρέχεται η δυνατότητα room-service!
Friendly staff, good food and great accommodation

Breakfast was ok. Warm not hot and we had to wait over half an hour despite being told we had to book a pacific time to make sure we got our food as you were very busy for breakfast even though you have a lot of rooms, which i thought would be a regular occurrence. The toilet flush button was broken and my partner had to put loads of water from the kettle to flush it. I told reception and they just said thank you for reporting it. A notice of how your soap dispenser worked as I spent quite some time trying to wash my hands after using the loo as it seems like a hard unit that couldn’t be squeezed. Which was a little frustrating at first. The bed and pillows were so hard I didn’t get a good sleep. The bar staff especially shena she was so brilliant remembered all our drinks and was very very efficient. Sorry if I spelt her name wrong. Other than that it was a good stay and a lovely place and I would stay again.
The breakfast wait time and the food not being hot.
Confortable, amb una habitació i bany moderns. Molt ben situat si es vol explorar la zona. Pàrquing gratuït al mateix hotel.
No hi ha aire condicionat a les habitacions ni a la resta de l'hotel.
Prima locatie, prachtige kamer.

Lovely spacious room and good size bathroom. Delicious breakfast with plenty of choice.
Bed was a bit too firm for our liking.
Good location, very clean, quiet, great wifi foe working and lovely breakfast.
Staff at breakfast very pleasant and helpful. I would suggest though that you get logged properly on WAZE APP as I kept being taken a long way away not where I wanted to go. Swindo n truck stop was the only landmark by it I found.

Location and always consistently good

The service was excellent, comfortable rooms and overall good value for money with breakfast included in the booking.
The shower head could’ve done with a bit of clean but other than that the overall cleanliness was perfectly fine.
Lovely big room . Very comfy bed. Will use again as I go to Swindon quite regularly.
No negatives as only a one night stay
bit short on tea/coffee/milk supplies in room
Terrible. Do not book using booking.com. They ignore emails and do not fulfil cancellation obligations. Tried to call direct to cancel, a colleague was able to cancel as they used a different platform but I couldn’t. Shocking experience, no reply from booking. Com email 2 days ago.

Rooms were very clean and big and the fact that the bed was a super king size was great, the food was excellent and staff very friendly and helpful, and plenty of free parking.
The only thing we found was the mattress was very firm, so that was a little uncomfortable for us as we are not used to that.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was swift and on time. Great choice of evening meals.

Excellent cooked breakfast, i specified sausage and bacon well done, and they were. Delicious. Room very spacious, clean and comfortable. Staff charming.

Perfect location for work. Car park was nice and easy to find and park up. Comfortable room and stay - apart from customers car alarm going off most of the night!!
Nothing obvious to dislike.
Clean and convenient, good menu
The location is central to our family when we come to visit them, we love your hotel so friendly lovely rooms very spacious, and spotlessly clean,
Was nothing we didn't like
Great location, staff very welcoming. Good choice of drinks & areas to sit both in & out
Breakfast continental choice were few & far between. Cooked breakfast was great.
Location is excellent. Just off the main road so very easy to find and access. The rooms were very clean and comfortable.
Breakfast - croissants were a little under cooked. Bacon was a little overdone.
