We were welcomed with open arms. The family run hotel has such a wonderful vibe. Felt at home immediately. We opted to have an evening meal as well.

Fantastic food. Top notch hostess ##### David Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John 11 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Although I only stayed one night this was enough to understand that the owners really care for their property and this translates to the service given. They were polite and courteous and even remembered our names which is a nice touch. The food we had for dinner and breakfast was also delicious. ##### John Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 12 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Everything was clean and tidy.

Fred (the dog) was very welcoming as of course was Karen. Food was excellent, room very comfortable and service fantastic. Definitely will return when I’m the area ##### Neil Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### BENNY 25 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It's challenging to give a rating, because it all depends on what you want. An anodyne Marriott/Hilton experience it ain't, so if that's what you want you will not like it. This is more like a B&B. Charming. Friendly. Memorable. It's not perfect, but all the more lovable for it. ##### BENNY Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karl 20 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Restful, relaxing stay - a little different What a great find, tucked just slightly off the beaten track, countryside views surrounding this stone former school-house, peaceful relaxing and welcoming stay, Such a friendly couple, Fred will also keep you company if required :) (family pet). The room has all you'll need, Iron, Kettle, hairdryer, En-suite shower room, chairs, desk, TV. Food is great, i make no exaggeration here, spending my working week up and down the country in various hotels and eateries, the portion is just right, very tasty fresh and healthy. The school-house is something a little different, it's nice but not too fancy, a place to relax and sleep, guests are friendly and pricing is very competitive for the area. I enjoyed my stay and hope to be back when over that way. Thanks for the lovely stay Karen. ##### Karl Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Rob 18 Feb 2024 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Not good service at all The male manager was completely rude. Threatened to THROW me out and when challenged to do so, backed down. Told me to “stop looking at me like that”. Grow up! The downstairs rooms were ok but the upstairs smelled of damp and there was obvious damp in the stairwell. You have to take your own trash home with you (no bin provided). You MUST eat at his restaurant and you must eat “before you go out”. Yeah he was arrogant! ##### Rob Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Marie France 25 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort La personne qui nous a accueilli était très sympathique mais la chambre est vieillotte, la nourriture moyenne ##### Marie France Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Frank 27 Jun 2022 Liked: Room comfort Disliked: Staff & service #### A lesson for the Schoolhouse They were still recommending use of out of date COVID policies (2 m distance not even 1 m distance and masks). For the first time ever in any hotel, they also wanted the customer to take away their own rubbish. Also, you had to have breakfast in your room, booked the night before. If anyone did have COVID it would be more likely covering the breakfast remains than old newspapers or trash? Restaurant service unavailable? ##### Frank Stayed 1 night in Jun 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 3 Jun 2021 Disliked: Staff & service Awful attitude from the staff. We did not stay. I booked for an employee and they refused a room without my card, even though I had paid in full for it. Refused to speak on the telephone with me when I spoke to my employee. I had to ring the hotel. Rude, unfriendly and very unwelcoming. I book multiple hotels every week and never have I encountered a hotel with attitudes like this! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2021 ### 4/10 Poor #### Mal 21 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Never again Quirky, time warp or simply run down - you decide. The bar which included the lounge seating was closed. Drinks were supplied to rooms meaning no chance to chat with other guests - or be comfortable. Breakfast was good, evening meal was very odd with Michelin prices. Eat up the road! Easily walkable. Lovely dining room, but cold in February! I was not given the option to review my account, the extras had already been charged to my card. I did get a receipt emailed later. ##### Mal Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ian 21 Feb 2020 Liked: Staff & service Very nice area, great owners Food is excellent Hotel part of the facility is a little tired and needs updating I would stay again because of the owners and the food ##### Ian Stayed 1 night in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jane 30 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lovely peaceful location Quiet and peaceful location but close to the M4 junction 16\. You get a very friendly welcome and nothing is too much trouble. The rooms could use a little updating but they are warm, good size and clean. Would thoroughly recommend. ##### Jane Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Highworth Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Swindon-Hotels-The-Highworth-Hotel.h2859518.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Swindon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Swindon-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Swindon.h12219.Hotel-Information) > > [The Windermere Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-The-Windermere-Hotel.h13431161.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Christchurch-Harbour-Hotel-And-Spa.h18097.Hotel-Information) > > [Ufford Park Woodbridge Hotel, Golf & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Woodbridge-Hotels-Ufford-Park-Woodbridge-Hotel.h12685.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunston Hall Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Dunston-Hall.h519081.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel and Spa Chester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-And-Spa-Chester.h527788.Hotel-Information) > > [Redworth Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newton-Aycliffe-Hotels-Redworth-Hall-Hotel.h517266.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Alexandra House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Swindon-Hotels-Alexandra-House.h1794973.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Cheltenham-Cotswolds](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Doubletree-By-Hilton-Cheltenham.h65899.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Manchester-Airport.h75715089.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > > [The Wiltshire Hotel, Golf and Leisure Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Swindon-Hotels-The-Wiltshire-Hotel.h1223411.Hotel-Information) > > [Cricklade House Hotel, Sure Hotel Collection by Best Western](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Swindon-Hotels-Cricklade-House-Hotel.h2733080.Hotel-Information) > > [Chiseldon House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Swindon-Hotels-Chiseldon-House.h24161816.Hotel-Information) > > [Last Drop Village Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolton-Hotels-Last-Drop-Village-Hotel-And-Spa.h9341.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Bristol Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Bristol-Airport.h16543862.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Wokefield Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-De-Vere-Wokefield-Estate.h1044123.Hotel-Information) > > [The Churchill By Greene King Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Swindon-Hotels-The-Churchill.h44801738.Hotel-Information) > > [Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Grosvenor-Pulford-Hotel-Spa.h790572.Hotel-Information) > > [Marsh Farm Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Swindon-Hotels-Marsh-Farm-Hotel.h520261.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Towcester-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Silverstone.h48251404.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Cotswold Water Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-De-Vere-Cotswold-Water-Park.h1770053.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) ---
