Just stayed for a night so hard to form an educated opinion on the hotel. It was clean, probably could do with some modernisation but at this price it was definitely adequate. The staff and the food were excellent though

Room had 2 mugs, both of which were dirty with a strange yellow crusting along the lip and needed a clean. Curtains could do with being blackout, let loads of streetlight in.

OK, the venue is not going to be The Savoy. It is basic an ideally placed to get around the town, which I found very pleasent. Parking is good and no problem. However, parts of the room we stayed in were less than adequate. Draws missing and broken, and then put at the back of the room. The condtion of the furniture was of very poor condition. But, what annoyed and frustrated me the most was there was no remote for the TV. When leaving we asked one of the cleaners where it was, as we may have not found it. NO, they told me it was stolen, but not replaced. Its a shame, as the shower room was very clean. The beds were OK, and the sheets were very clean. Would I stay there again? Yes I would, as the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

This hotel is amazing!!!! It has so much personality, great staff, a wonderful pub to go to where one can enjoy a great dinner, other great places to go to within walking distance. And it's right next to a bus stop so it is possible to go further off and just come back in the evening. This was such a fantastic experience, and I can't wait to go back to Highworth and The Saracen's Head Hotel!!!!

Nice little place. Nothing fancy at all but the staff were very friendly and the beer was nice. Room was super basic, but was also super cheap so to be expected. Bed was comfortable enough. Would stay again if it I was on my own.

Just give it a wide berth!

The mould on the shower ceiling aggravated my asthma and gave me a chest infection. I had to leave this place mid stay due to the health problems it was causing me. Awful bed, not clean, they wouldn’t provide any kind of refund via Hotels.com. I will be reporting this place with the pictures I took to the authorities after the festive period.
