Lovely, friendly, peaceful rural hotel
Pros:

Friendly, amenable staff. I needed to work all day after giving up my room in the morning. The staff found me a side room and let me work on my own all day. The bed was really comfy and the hotel was very quiet all night. Good shower and very rural, peaceful setting.

Cons:

Next door's TV volume in the morning.

Would stay there again if the problems were resolved and we didn't have room 5!
Pros:

Friendly and helpful staff. Good food. Mostly clean and tidy room. (See What didn't like below)

Cons:

Mattress past its replacement time - worn out and sagging
The pillows were worn and sagging
Shaver light not working
Room (Room 5) above the boiler, noisy for most of the time
Most of the room sockets were all on extension leads
The shower was pitifully slow
The shower riser was very loose
The toilet seat was stained and should be replaced

A very pleasant stay.
Pros:

The location was very pleasant. Nice and quiet, close by to villages and within easy reach of West Swindon and
Swindon town. A cooked breakfast was available but we chose to partake in what had been laid out - a varied selection of cereals, muesli, yogurts, pain au chocolat, orange juice and a nice bowl of fresh fruit and of course tea and coffee. We were also given a good plateful of thick buttered toast. Very nice.
