Indoors in just as nice with a rustic feel. The bedrooms are extremely cosy, the beds are really comfortable and everything is cleaned to a high standard. ##### CAROLYN Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### R 6 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort A truly delightful experience..

Fantastic communal space that can be enjoyed at any time. The room was a great size with tea/coffee making facilities and amazing toiletries. The breakfast was excellent quality with lots of options. If im ever in the area again I would 100% stay here again. ##### Mark Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matt 29 Apr 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay Excellent service and friendly staff, kept the kitchen open as I was arriving late on day one. The rooms are excellently finished and the location makes for a quick drive into central Swindon. Only slight gripe is that the heating seems to stop working at midnight which wasn't ideal for late working, won't affect many people. ##### Matt ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marta 28 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely place indeed. The hotel is in a farm, and rooms on the detached barn. The conversion is lovely and very nicely done, with nothing short of a modern facility. Spotless clean, the best toiletries I tried in ages (also up for sale!). Great attention to details, comfort and environment. I definitely recommend a meal in the pub where most food is sourced locally. Preferring a meatfree diet, I found the menu a bit red-meat-heavy, but there are a few vegetarian options and the pizza I had was delicious. Breakfast is also delicious! The little village and local country side are lovely for a walk. Non-common perks: the rooms have a common lounge to chill, read, have a glass of wine or a tea, listen to music etc. loved the idea, especially for a rainy afternoon. Overall a Very relaxing environment and pleasant experience. ##### Marta Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Teresa 16 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### One of a kind! My husband and I were on an adventure along the countryside back to Bath and booked this little gem of a find. Whoooaa what an interesting place to get lost! loved loved loved this little bed and breakfast! There’s a restaurant, a bar, a beer garden, and honestly, we didn’t see it all. There is a whole farm and pigs and walking paths that I hope we get back to see another time. The food was well prepared, all organic and scratch made. More interestingly, they’re self reliant on their own livestock and farm produce which makes it sustainable and delicious. The staff were incredibly gracious, the rooms were comfortable, attractive and just perfect. I’d recommend this venue for groups especially because there are so many common areas and it seems perfect for event type activities. This place is one of a kind. I would stay again and would highly recommend. ##### Teresa Stayed 1 night in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### emma 16 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastic Arrived for a wedding and was lovely stay beautiful area.
