Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located in a fantastic pub in a lovely market town near all the prehistory associated with Wiltshire. It is central to the town and restaurants. The rooms, although in need of refurbishment, are functional. The staff is friendly and helpful. However, the dining options, while breakfast is included, have limited choices. The facilities are basic but adequate, making it a convenient stay right in the center of town.
This hotel is located right in the center of town, making it convenient to explore the area. The rooms are comfortable and come with breakfast, although the shared bathroom might be a downside. The service is top-notch, but the price could be considered a bit high for what you get.
The hotel is situated in the center of town, providing easy access to all the attractions and activities. It's ideal for those looking to explore the prehistory of Wiltshire but may not be the best choice for those sensitive to noise as it's located opposite a nightclub. The pricing offers good value for money considering the prime location and the charming atmosphere of the market town.
