Swindon Hotel Guide - Family Friendly Hotels in Swindon, England

Very much enjoyed hotel as wedding venue but the room was disappointing. Room too hot as was the hot water, both bedside lamps didn't work so when main light was switched off using switch by door you had to find your way into bed by stumbling around. I asked hotel receptionist for help but she disappeared and I never saw her again despite waiting 15 minutes in Reception.

We booked to stay the night for our friend's wedding at Manor by the Lake, so the hotel was a perfect 5 minute drive away. We arrived to check in and was given a room at the end of the corridor on the first floor. It was a spacious room but unfortunately smelt of cigarette smoke - despite the hotel being a non-smoking hotel. We contacted reception by phone and someone very promptly came up to address the problem. She was able to move us to the room across the corridor. It was a slightly bigger room and cigarette smoke-free! One thing we were extremely puzzled about was that our friend who also booked into the hotel after us received a better rate and was given a suite for the price of a double room. The only difference was that he checked in 30 minutes before us - which seemed extremely unfair. The breakfast was good - with a wide range of hot and cold foods and drinks.

I stayed 2 nights and plan to come back. It's centrally located and the room was comfy and clean. Light and bright. Upscale !!

Absolutely lovely hotel, everything was beautiful!

Rooms are comfortable but major refurbishment of public areas is in progress. Bar and restaurant areas are quite small and crowded at busy times, hotel is out of town so a taxi is needed to get to Oxford sights, (parking in Oxford is impossible) Restaurant does not serve lunch - only bar snacks. When we arrived bar was full of meeting delegates

lack of a lift was a challenge with a room n the 2nd floor and a 30kg suitcase. I'm 62 and noone offered to bring it up. Reception lady was rather foreign and frosty

Nice place to stay, very big location. Staff very helpful.

clean and tidy, friendly environment. Well balanced meals, excellent facilites.

nice big room and clean. the breakfast was lovely with plenty of choice.

Generally very good but let down by the breakfast team who were not particularly strong on customer service
