Suggested improvements would be upgrading the sockets to USB ones & adding a mirror in the bedroom. Staff were helpful & friendly provided a relaxed welcoming service. We thought it great value for the price paid. We were impressed with the size of the room and how quiet it was so we had great sleep. Shower pressure was amazing. Would definitely stay again.

Great Location for RIAT!

Was myself and my friend who stayed here for 2 nights for the Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford. Great location for a 25 minute travel between the two places. Slight hiccup upon arrival but sorted very quickly. The owner (Ben) is a delightful guy who very much went out of his way to make up for the hiccup, and couldn't have been nicer or done more. He even made up a breakfast bag for me to take with me when I departed early on my last morning. Thank you Ben! The bar area in general is a great size, loads of space to move about. There's a pool table, darts board, and a TV available in the bar area. there are two outside seating areas, one of which has a number of tables and large umbrellas, the other on a grassy area beyond the rear car park. A couple of things which could be improved. Could do with at least one more member of bar staff. When we arrived, Zack was the only guy in there (it seemed) and he was running around trying to do his best, but was clearly in need of assistance. Food that we had was great, looked great, tasted lovely, and a decent size, menu was a little small but that's being really picky as I'm a fussy eater. Overall my experience was positive, and will likely stay there again. Thanks to the team who did a great job.

A little haphazard

Our room had a recently refurbished bathroom, which was good (although the machine linked to the toilet did make an unexpected noise from time-to-time). However, the overall feeling was that the hotel was poorly organised. In particular, the breakfast arrangements were slow and insufficient thought had been put into thinking about what the clients might need (and not know where to find) etc.

Friendly Staff, pleasant village.

Lovely area friendly staff, only problem was the bed has wooden sides and a low mattress which means you hurt the back of your legs trying to get out of bed the mattress needs higher.

Room did the job, booked a double bed but got 2 singles. Bed was a bit springy, maybe a mattress topper but overall no issues.

Good overnight stay

Clean room, powerful shower and pleasant situation. The walls were a bit thin so you could hear cisterns refilling and you could feel the springs through the mattress. Also the tv did not work and neither did the bathroom mirror light. The outdoor garden was nice and the staff were friendly and cheerful.

Very Pleasant Stay

We had a very pleasant 3 night stay. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout from initial welcome to final farewell. The room was large enough clean and warm, the bed had a solid frame, the mattress was softer than my preference but my wife was happy. The bathroom was large with a spacious powerful shower. We had a continental breakfast on our 1st morning which was supplemented with cooked to order options at the weekend. A particular highlight was the fresh berries on offer. Shrivenham is is a small a quiet setting giving a peaceful night's sleep which is a big plus compared to many Swindon hotels

More light please

The lighting in our room was a bit dull even with all lights on. Also, there was no bedside lamp on one side which meant using a torch to read!

I would return here

Our stay was good. We were in rooms at the back of the pub which suited us well. They were warm and clean. The young man who served breakfast was a credit to the hotel. He was very friendly and attended to our large group of 12 in a relaxed but wfficient manner.
