Old building with a large room and attentive host
The pre messages of all the rules. Its a supposed to be relaxing
The room was clean and bed comfortable. Breakfast was excellent and Karen was very welcoming.
All was good
Lovely people, lovely place, building. We enjoyed the food, the atmosphere off the building.
The bed was old and creaked
A warm welcome from our helpful host, and a delicious dinner. We came for a family party in a nearby venue, so the Old School House was very convenient for us, as well as being a charming place to stay and a good base for visiting other attractions.
It's quite clear from the hotel information that there is no bar or lounge (though drinks etc are available) which was fine for us, but maybe not for all. The coffee was ok, but not really to my taste, but then people are very particular about coffee, so it's hard to please everyone!
The wonderful and personalised service, homely rooms. We enjoyed our stay there very much. We’ve been back twice so far, and plan to stay there again, whenever we are in the area, and assuming they have availability. Can’t thank Karen enough for her hospitality and kind thoughtfulness.
We like everything about the property because it suits our needs and wants. Some people may find it a bit off the beaten track.
Very good breakfast friendly staff
Breakfast was either served in room or a few tables in a very small foyer. No bar although staff said they could serve us drinks in the foyer. Room very dated and basic. Bed was very hard and uncomfortable.
I've stayed here before and I'll hopefully stay here again. A warm welcome. A warm and comfy room on a very cold night. Very tasty breakfast using quality produce.
Location it was quiet and peaceful
No fridge or a teaspoon in the room would be nice if there was a fridge to put your milk in and a teaspoon for your coffee instead of a stirring stick
Lovely old building serving very good food and exceptionally clean
It was a bit rough around the edges and the bedroom was cold
Friendly welcome, comfortable room, exceptional food which was delivered to room
An outstanding place to stay, only 5 minutes to Royal Wootton Bassett where I have family. Welcome was genuine and friendly, room was clean and warm, we had a bath and shower en suite which was clean and plenty big enough. Breakfast - my favours the continental- wife had the veggie full English absolutely excellent…. And good choice.All in all a 10 out of 10. Service and atmosphere made the stay memorable so will use this hotel on all our visits… Thanks
Leaving
Friendly greeting, stylish building. Freshly cooked food.
Dated facilities. Tired decor and linen.
Friendly reception staff
There had clearly been a large water leak in the past and the room had a stink of damp about it. It was also freezing cold. Water streaks on every wall has just been painted over with gloss paint but still evident.
Great location lovely building and lovely owner
Nothing to put here
Beautiful location , attentive hostel and wonderful breakfast!
Great friendly welcome, helped with local knowledge of area Service and breakfast was excellent would definitely recommend
This hotel is in a lovely quiet location. Karen and Tonny are the perfect hosts, offering an excellent breakfast and superb evening meal from their a la carte menu.
Everything was perfect.
Very comfortable bed, friendly staff, good breakfast, location
In places, decor a little tired but it was excellent value for money.
The building is an old schoolhouse and very attractive from the outside.
The room smelt damp. There was flaking paint from damp on the wall. Cobweb n the ceiling. The sheets felt damp. There was no cold water in the morning.
