Lovely host in a special building. The cooked breakfast was great hot and wholesome served with a smile and eaten outside in the sun. A nice welcome from Fred the dog added to the occasion.

Our car broke down, but that had nothing to do withe the place :)

Very nice & friendly staff, including Fred, the bacon-loving house hound! The localisation is wonderful, same as the included breakfast. Definitely a recommendation!

we found the room very hot overnight. Granted we stayed in mid August, but a small fan in the room would have been a godsend.

The property had lots of historical character. we also thought the staff were brilliant, including Fred who was on hand to give us a warm welcome. Breakfast was included and was delicious.

having dining tables in the reception hall and would have preferred to have had breakfast in the restaurant

The restaurant was not open as such so dinner was either in the reception hall ( very strange) in bedroom or outside seating. I choose outside because the weather was very good. The food and service was very good.

It isn't really a dislike but I was surprised at the high price of drinks with dinner. A very small sparkling water and a 275/330ml lager were popular London prices and not what I was expecting compared to other places I have visited in the area. It would have put me off eating their with my family as my two youngish children would have easily drunk over £18 worth of sparkling water....

The full English breakfast was lovely and included black pudding (unlike some of the other places nearby). I also ate dinner there the night before and the food was terrific. My room was nice and large, clean and had everything that I needed. The staff were friendly, polite and helpful.

Difficult to identify anything we didn't like without it sounding like 'nit-picking'. I suppose it would have been helpful to have had a waste bin, but I think the lack of one was a 'carry-over' from first opening after Covid 19 restrictions, so understandable. Other than that everything was to our liking.

The welcome of the hosts was exceptional and their general easy going manner, but efficient eye for details was really appreciated by us. They were very friendly and very informative about local attractions, as well as genuinely interested in what we were doing for our stay and where we were going. It felt like home form home, but with a professional touch. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced. Fred, the dog, also made us welcome!

lovely setting. visually very appealing. Fred the dog was a bonus.

Restaurant was not open so evening meals and breakfasts for guests only available on tables set up in small reception area that felt like a walk through. Very little atmosphere. No curtains in the room so woke very early.

The host was very warm and friendly. The food was lovely and good value.

We stayed here for a week and it was one of our best hotel experiences. The former schoolhouse has kept its charming features. The spacious and clean room had traditional furniture. It contained tea and coffee facilities and overlooked the opposite hills. We could choose between 4 different sorts of excellent breakfast. The meals we ordered for lunch were exquisite. As far as we are concerned, they deserve a star! On top of everything there was Karen who was so genuinely interested in everything we did and who gave us all the information we asked for (and more😊) In short: the hosts went above and beyond to make our stay perfect!

it was easy to hear people through the walls, the wifi wasn’t very strong and I noticed the bed linen was marked in several places

Great welcome, location and setting

The first floor had a slight 'smokey' smell - not so much in the room but on the landing

Karen on arrival was lovely, very accommodating and helpful. Fred the dog was beautiful and friendly!! Our room was clean and comfortable. The beds were nice and soft and had a good nights sleep. The breakfast was served to our door on time and all hot and delicious. My daughter had pancakes and there was more then enough and she enjoyed every last mouthful of them. The english breakfast was perfectly cooked, and good portions. Overall a great stay and would visit again. Thank you

Schoolhouse Restaurant and Hotel is on the direct east west cycle route from Swindon to Malmesbury and beyond, making it a very convenient overnight stop, especially as secure overnight parking for our long tandem bicycle was easily provided. The bed was very comfortable and the dinner and breakfast very good. The old school is a listed building and the hotel extension is a sympathetic addition.

It suited my requirements!

A very warm welcome from the owner. Breakfast delivered to room was really pleasant. A cosy room. I liked having Fred [the owner's dog as my dinner date for supper!]

The room was a bit cold as temperatures were well below freezing at night, but we were supplied with an additional electric heater.

The dinner was exceptional. Very varied, lots of choices and each dish we had was excellent. This food would not be out of place at a top-rated restaurant and they were definitely some of the best meals we have had in a long time. We were the only diners for 2 quiet nights in January and the chef took the trouble to produce a completely different menu for us on the second night - impressive, given that we could happily have eaten anything on either menu. Breakfast was also very good and generous portions. The owners are very friendly and welcoming and pay attention to detail - an excellent stay all round.

The school house breakfast which we had both mornings was excellent and substantial filling us up until tea time. Dinner was amazing and cooked superbly. The venue is full of history and really interesting. Without a doubt guests should stay here and take in the very lovely ambience.

The only down side was , you had breakfast in your room, left outside the door. lovely cooked breakfast, but after been locked in with the pandemic, you really feel a bit isolated from people and just to be able to have a change of room to sit in. I wouldn't want to do that again. Also no bar area to relax in, so although nice people and Freddie the dog was adorable.

The Breakfast was very good! We had an evening meal, which we couldn't afford every night, but really worth having, it was excellent, the best meal out ive had for years!!
