Well located and easy to get to.
WiFi in my room was really weak and kept dropping out. Mentioned it to the manager and he said it was an issue since there had been roadworks outside recently.

A lovely room in a lovely pub. It exceeded my expectations.

I liked my little room at the front of the hotel. I've stayed many times and don't mind the road noise. Last time I was given a room at the back which was noisy, caused by pumps in the loft above. I asked to be moved and was. The staff are always helpful.
I don't think the sausages and bacon are up to much, but other than that the food is good.

Excellent value with a good breakfast, a quiet room given on request and very pleasant staff. Good central position for restaurants etc. in Old Town and nearby parks.
Room a little small but adequate.

I stayed here as part of a work christmas party held at the venue, and I can't recommend it enough. The staff were super polite and welcoming from first check-in to checking out and the customer service alone was 5*. We stayed as a group of solo cleaners and part of a big facebook group, so you know we were checking for dirt and dust! (joking but not really!!) The rooms were super clean and comfortable, staff were amazing and the food was delicious.

Room was nice and clean and the staff were very friendly
It was let down by the very loud kitchen extractor fan outside the bedroom window and a toilet seat that wasn't really attached to the toilet. Shame because the bathroom was basically very nice, but the toilet seat needs replacing.

Breakfast excellent and Will was an excellent host who couldn't do enough to make us welcome. He went out of his way to ask if we had everything we needed.
Curtain and pole fell down in Room 10. Not a problem as we managed to put it back temporarily but needs fixing.

First of all Will was so helpful.. We arrived 3 hours early so didn't expect to be able to go to our room. He showed us around and explained the fire exits and helped me book the car in. We watched the rugby and then had an evening meal which was excellent. We were really pleased with the room. The bed was better than we have at home and the shower was great. The first person we saw at breakfast was Will, still smiling and the food was top notch. The room, breakfast and parking was only £85 which is outstanding
There isn't anything

It was well presented. Despite being a public house there wasn’t any noise in the room associated to a lively venue.
It was immaculate, perfect for our needs for an overnight stay.
All the staff members we encountered were personable and extremely helpful. Nothing was too much.
I would highly recommend and would return for the next event in Swindon.
If ‘nitpicking’, I would go out on a limb to say the access in the centre of the bar/restaurant was not something I’ve encountered before. It felt a little awkward at first but soon got used to it.

The property was easy to find and had a warm atmosphere. Great location near a super park. Room was clean and had everything we needed. Comfortable bed and good shower. Staff were all friendly, especially the cleaners. Even our dog was made to feel welcome and treated to breakfast sausages.
More staff are needed at breakfast. (Although people there are friendly and efficient). Residents frequently had to ask for things that had run out eg bread, coffee, hot water.

Such a lovely, well-kept hotel. Very high standards for such a great affordable price. Staff were very friendly and supportive. The room was fabulously comfortable with very comfortable beds, fantastic shower room, and toilet facilities. Very nice complimentary biscuits with a good amount of tea and coffee. With a great working, easy to use large screen TV, you can't go wrong!

The location was great, comfortable bed, cozy room, fun above a pub.
The property was on a busy street and we heard traffic all night.
