Sudbury House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Beautiful grounds and garden. Helpful staff. Comfortable room and bed, tasty breakfast. Only complaint, the front entrance is locked a little early for a Saturday evening, took 2 calls to get the entrance opened. But would recommend."

Stanton House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great hotel, delicious food and very peaceful and quiet location with excellent parking!"

The White Hart

10/10 Excellent

"Room was spacious & clean. Large double bed. Reasonable TV. Despite main roads being nearby noise was negligible. Breakfast is ordered the night before but not a problem & ingredients were good & cooked well. Evening meals were fine & reasonably priced. Staff were friendly. Bus service (S6 & 23) will take you into central Swindon."

The Old Crown Coaching Inn

8/10 Good

"Really nice hotel/pub and wine bar. Parking round the back was good to have , room clean and tidy just had a front room and a bit noisy with bus stop right outside but no main issue. Food in bar ok too, I’ll definitely stay again as and when working in this area"

Romantic & Secluded Cottage. Beautiful Walks & Fantastic Pub

10/10 Excellent

"Such a lovely cottage, brilliantly placed in a village churchyard up the lane from a welcoming pub. Set in the shadow of a 12th century church with the lane continuing up to an array of wonderful footpaths, the cottage was the perfect base for exploring the area."

3 bedroom accommodation in Faringdon

8/10 Good

"Could do with extra storage in the kitchen for food items, only very small pans and smallish dinner plates"

Large dog friendly holiday home with a hot tub in the Cotswolds - Coppers Barn

10/10 Excellent

"What a fabulous place to stay for a 3-generation, long weekend, family celebration of an 80th birthday. 6 double bedrooms, all with ensuites made life so much easier for ablutions! The barn was clean, stylishly furnished & everything you needed when self-catering for large numbers was provided, although we did eat out at both the Eagle Tavern (within walking distance) & The Lamb Tavern (Buckland), having excellent meals in both places. (The Lamb has a great "private dining room" which was perfect for an undisturbed family meal.) The hot tub was a great success, even though the booking was during the heatwave!! The stock of board games & books was an added bonus for late night entertainment. The terrace area with tables & chairs was perfect for a summer evening meal outside & the enclosed grass area would be brilliant for energetic children! My only slight downgrading was for "value for money". I did feel it was overpriced despite it being an early July booking in a superb venue (but considering we had to pay £250 extra for the hot tub & 2 dogs....) - Cotswold prices seem to be sky-rocketing year on year. Would we return? Yes, for a special occasion & trying to avoid peak times of the year!"

The Highworth Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very nice people and a nice convenient place to stay. The building is outdated but that gives a bit of charm to the whole stay."
