A great place to stay.
Pros:

A very friendly welcome and fantastic value for money. Very clean and spacious room with en suite shower room. Great choice of breakfast with eggs cooked to your own specification. My wife very much enjoyed the poached option!!
Lots of off road parking and a 10 minute drive from Chippenham Town centre with lots of bars and restaurants.
We would definitely recommend a visit.

Friendly landlord and pleasant quiet location.
Pros:

Simon was very friendly and welcoming. The village is a nice place to stay and explore, very quiet. They were kind enough to prepare us a breakfast sandwich to take away in the morning.

Cons:

There is no socket for the kettle in the room, which means you have to boil it on the floor or drag an extension lead up to the table. Would have been nice to have real mugs instead of paper cups. Breakfast choice was pretty limited.

A very comfortable room in an old coaching inn. An excellent breakfast with plenty of tea available.

There couid be some argument for updating the rooms but this would sit uncomfortably with the style of the inn.
