Top The Defence Academy of the United Kingdom Hotel Reviews

The White Hart

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely helpful staff room was clean and spacious with a very comfortable bed bathroom clean and has a good size shower . Breakfast lovely and hot you pre order the night before . All in all a great place to stay"

Stanton House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room - absolutely beautiful setting not far from Swindon. Lovely little lake and woodland path to walk around just outside the hotel grounds."

The Old Crown Coaching Inn

8/10 Good

"Nice large room, a table and a chair was missing although there was space. Mattress too old. Inside parking very convenient."

Sudbury House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I had a problem with my original booking so I had to book this hotel on the day, late evening. To my luck this hotel was far better. The staff was so kind and the restaurant was excellent. It had a nice garden. Breakfast was also good. The room was clean with cosy beds."

Holiday Inn Swindon by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Good stay"

The Plough Inn

8/10 Good

"Very relaxed atmosphere and very friendly and helpful staff. Good food - standard pub fare but done well."

The Saracens Head Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"If you want a boutique, luxury hotel The Saracens Head is not for you and you are not for the Saracens Head. If you want an authentic 'staying at an inn' experience with good food, a wide selection of ales and ciders and friendly courteous staff then you won't find better. From the friendly welcome at the bar to exchanging photos of the night sky with the lady cleaning my room I was made to feel right at home. Being a bit dishevelled in places merely added to the charm of my stay and my spacious room was clean and comfortable and had a beautiful view over the village square. The richness of the clientele with diners in one bar and tradesmen in another made you realise this was a place serving the whole community as well as taking in strangers such as myself. The food was so good I could not even get a table on my first night. If you are having a few nights in the Cotswolds you could do far worse than base yourself in Highworth and enjoy some genuine local offerings before heading to the more well known tourist sites. Thanks to all the Saracens Head staff for making my stay so pleasurable,"

The Highworth Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very nice people and a nice convenient place to stay. The building is outdated but that gives a bit of charm to the whole stay."

Helen Browning's Royal Oak

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly and welcoming staff, thoughtful touches and a lovely location with great walks and lots to explore"
