Had a good experience and would stay there again
Pros:

comfortable room, very clean and cosy. good shower. very good breakfast. lovely hosts. Good secure parking.

Cons:

It was a shame the restaurant and bar no longer do evening meals, but it was only a short distance to other restaurants in Chippenham. So not a big problem. Also there is a very good Bar over the road for drinks etc.

Very satisfactory, as business operating under difficult circumstances. Slightly expensive, however.
Pros:

The style of accommodation - annexe buidings.

Cons:

The Huntsman is unfortunately 'in transition', so we were forewarned that there is currently no bar or evening meal available. Staff were very helpful in making suggestions and alternatives.

Pros:

We loved our short stay at the jolly huntsman. The room was lovely and clean upon arrival. The staff were also brilliant, very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was also superb. Will definitely stay again should we visit this part of the Cotswolds!
