A friendly place to stay with comfortable rooms and friendly and capable staff, breakfast is good and I would recommend this as a place to stay for a short break (which is how we used it).

Fine stay
Not bad overall but the room was cold at night and we were told there will be no heating due to it affecting the whole building, so we had to dress up warmer as the blankets weren't good enough. There were some bugs in the room, probably due to it being on first floor and they come in when the windows are open. Not a big deal for us. If you worry about spiders then make sure to ask them to sweep for them before going in.

Swindon gem
Lovely Inn on outskirts of Swindon by Lydiard Park. Friendly staff nothing too much trouble. Room was large with comfy beds ample tea/coffee. En-suite was clean and well sized except square shower cubicle was a little small when you’re used to one a bit larger. Breakfast cooked to order with quality ingredients. Large free car park. Definitely book again as a regular visitor and prefer the character Inn over clinical Travelodge type hotel.

Overnight stay @ Bolingbroke
Booked a family room double & a single for 3 adults. Arrived 7pm wanted to shower to go to a family party. 3 hand towels, only one bath towel. Asked for additional towels. Single bed very creaky/uncomfortable. While eating breakfast bedding all over the floor outside the restaurant

Rooms are large and clean, the bed was far too soft for me and the shower water pressure was low. However the staff are very friendly and the food at dinner and breakfast is excellent. Would stay again if my usually choice is booked up

Response from J on 11 May 2023
I sincerely regret Derrick that you did not have a good nights sleep. I note you were in a downstairs room(1). You wrongly assume that it was the owner that kept you up, but I live in a completely separate part of the building. Rather, the noise must have come from another guest(s) in a room above you, (Room 4). I hope that you will see from our other reviews that this rarely happens and once again, I apologise for the inconvenience other guests have caused you

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Everything was wonderful, the staff were fantastic, the food was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble. We met Joe the owners, she was absolutely charming and so lovely to chat to. Barney the dog was wonderful. I wish Joe and her team ran my local that is all I can say!!! Thank you all.

Attending a wedding at a nearby venue. Chose Bolingbroke on basis of proximity, cost and reviews. We we’re not disappointed. We were made very welcome, en-suite room was Absolutely fine for our purposes. We ate in the restaurant in n the evening, the food was very good. Full English breakfast the next May ending, top quality produce. Can’t fault it.

Two night midweek stay
Second stay at this super friendly pub with rooms. We stayed for two nights and the service from all the staff was fantastic. Didn't eat but meals there other than breakfast but if that is anything to go by then the food should be very good. The breakfast is cooked fresh and was very good. The rooms are recently refurbished, quiet and quite spacious - better than many hotel rooms we have stayed in. There is a large car park on site so no issues with that. Will definitely be staying again when we visit our relatives nearby

Well done Bolingbroke. Wonderful experience!
Fantastic 3 night stay. Lovely clean room with a very comfy bed and at such a great price! Had a few issues with room on arrival but all sorted within a few hours. Food excellent and staff very attentive without being patronising. Easy access to M4, Swindon and the rest of Wiltshire. Will definitely stay again. Very highly recommended!

Overnight pit stop to Devon.
Not disappointed, the staff were very friendly and helpfully. The room was very well presented and spacious. Food and service excellent . Would highly recommend and stay again. Just one little thing the photos on the website need updating. It does not give a current and true reflection of the quality of the rooms, which have been decorated and improved recently to a better standard with a modern feel.

Good value (especially for the area) - a good choice of evening meal. The food was generally good, though I had the impression it may have been re-heated in a microwave. rooms nice and clean, staff friendly - double bed a bit on the small size for us, but we do have a huge bed back home!

Two night stay
Used as a base for visiting family in the area. Very friendly welcome from Jo. We were pleasantly surprised at the condition of the room (no 6). Didn’t expect it to have been recently refurbished but it was very well done and very comfortable, spacious too. Didn’t have evening meals there but had breakfast both days and they were excellent. Nice bar area and garden. Friendly service all round. All in all a nice place to use as a base for when we visit relatives again.

Comfortable Stay
Real nice place, two lovely owners, room was great, windows open wide open for fresh air, good free wi-fi for rural location, lovely food. Only downfall, pub closes for 3 or so hours during day, so if you are present you need to go elsewhere if you need anything like a drink if you are on-site at that time, carpets were drab, showing wear but otherwise rooms are fine.
