Clean, small room hot breakfast but no sleep
Pros:

Location good for our stay

Cons:

The bed mattress very thin poor quality with an equally poor quality topper to try and rectify this. Metal bed frame which was very noisy with every little movement we did not sleep at all.

A wonderful b and b in the Wiltshire countryside.o
Pros:

Owners Helen and Simon offer you excellent comfortable stay with a great full English breakfast, should you require other items eg omelette etc,they are only to happy to meet your requests.
At a wonderful price,if you are in the Chippenham area you would be foolish not to book in at this beautiful country pub. If you don't you would miss a real gem.

Cons:

That we we were not staying longer.

Ottimo per una notte, posizione strategica per gli spostamenti!
Pros:

Ottima posizione, stanza piccola, semplice ma efficace per trascorrere una notte. Molto pulita e ordinata. La colazione è stata ottima, con prodotti buonissimi. Una completa english breakfast, con scelta varia tra diversi tipi di cereali. Personale cordiale e socievole, pronti a ogni esigenza! Purtroppo non abbiamo potuto provare il pub perché in quei giorni era chiuso (ne eravamo a conoscenza perché cordialmente i proprietari ci avevano informato al momento della prenotazione), anche se vedendo l’interno del locale sembrava molto accogliente e vale sicuramente la pena bersi una bella birra (o più di una)! Sarà magari per la prossima volta :)

Sehr zu empfehlen
Pros:

Sehr nette Gastgeber.
Frühstück wird frisch zubereitet (Auswahl verfügbar), Müsli, Toast und Marmelade gibt es zusätzlich.

Zimmer geräumig und sauber.
Das Restaurant ist aktuell geschlossen, im Pub gegenüber gibt es aber zumindest Freitags essen.
Ansonsten helfen die Gastgeber auch mit einer Liste an Restaurant und Lieferservice aus!

Lage ist gut um mit dem Auto nach Lacock Abbey, Avebury, Castle Combe oder Bath zu fahren.
Bei letzterem empfiehlt sich der lansdown Park &Ride Parkplatz anzufahren, günstiges Bus Ticket, parken inklusive.

Poor
Pros:

Room size was good. Breakfast was nice.

Cons:

The carpet has a terrible odour.
We were in a room with two single beds and a double bed. All the mattresses are in desperate need of replacement.

Goed verblijf in the Cotswolds.
Pros:

Het is een prima onderkomen, met heel vriendelijk personeel. Het Engels ontbijt was goed, maar het continentale deel bleef hierbij wat achter.
Ik zag bij de recensies dat er nogal wat mensen waren die klaagden over dat je hier "s avonds niet kunt eten, maar dat vond ik onzin. De eigenaresse was door gezondheidsproblemen nu even niet in staat om ook nog het avondeten te kunnen verzorgen.
Maar in Chippenham zelf zijn er genoeg eetmogelijkheden, waar je dan wel met de auto heen moet. Maar bij terugkeer is er schuin tegenover een gezellige rustige pub, waar je dan alsnog prima een drankje kunt doen.

Cons:

Het bed was veel te kort en te smal voor mij (1,93mtr.), waardoor ik niet heel best heb kunnen slapen.
Omdat er ook nog een derde bed stond, was er voor het tweepersoonsbed eigenlijk te weinig ruimte.
Misschien een idee om dit extra bed te verwijderen en een groter tweepersoonsbed te plaatsen?
