Top Whelford Hotel Reviews

Village Hotel Swindon

Village Hotel Swindon

8/10 Good
"Great property and friendly staff. Refurbed rooms look great although the water pressure was white low. Beds are really comfortable. Only negative was no aircon, which is mitigated by fans, but the windows don't really open more than an inch (2nd floor) so impossible to get air flow. Doesn't really cater for children, with.thijgs like bed guards, considering how high the beds are"

Wild Thyme & Honey

8/10 Good
"A tastefully developed pub with ample rooms, stylish appearance and appealing atmosphere. Dinner was a little disappointing (had the buttermilk chicken burger) which felt as if it had been pre-prepared/defrosted and reheated. May have just been an unlucky experience as generally the food reviews are very good and the breakfast was truly excellent and very fresh. Husband's burger was good. Staff very pleasant. We had a waterside suite which looked over the cricket pitch at the back so was quiet. Used it as a base to start the Thames Path walk at its source near Kemble."

"This is our fifth or sixth stay at The Ormond; it is always very good. The rooms are great and well-sized, with good bathrooms. The price is excellent for an area that is on the higher end. Tetbury is a great place to visit as well."
