    hot food

    Just a good pick for strolling in Swindon with good price value. The turkey dinners were well stocked and hot. If you're staying here, check on breakfast options in advance.

    spacious room
    comfy beds
    easy parking
    limited hangers
    average en-suite

    we stayed at tawny owl hotel for one night n it was pretty spacious, especially the family room. there was also loads of tea and coffee stuff plus biscuits in the room, which was cool. the beds were comfy, like my wife and i slept like logs. the parking was easy as they had it sorted for residents, no hassle there. i liked that we didn’t have to deal with stairs too much, just one flight n there was a lift for disabled peeps.

    the only thing was the hangers in the wardrobe, like seriously only 3, which was kinda silly. also, the en-suite coulda been better, not bad but just okay.

    great location but small room

    The staff and the manager provided exceptional service, making me feel very welcome during my stay. The quality of the toiletries was impressive, adding a touch of luxury to the small but functional ensuite.

    The room was small, which made movement a bit challenging.

    limited wardrobe hangers
    outdated decor
    need for modernization

    The spacious family room had comfortable beds and was equipped with plenty of tea and biscuits, making for a cozy stay. The allocated parking and the presence of a disabled lift added convenience. the room could use more hangers in the wardrobe, and some modernization would enhance the overall experience. The available dining options boasted delicious seasonal dishes, with attentive service that made us feel welcome.

    small room

    The location was very good and the

    staff were incredibly helpful throughout my stay. The room was cozy and warm, but some might find it a bit small for two. I appreciated the quality of the towels and toiletries provided, but the parking could have been more organized.

    spacious room
    insufficient hangers

    Unexpected noise but cozy vibes

    Our room was spacious and filled with complimentary tea and coffee. The friendly staff made up for the little inconveniences, and I felt quite comfortable throughout my stay.

    Unfortunately, the noise from the pub below kept me awake at times. a few hangers in the wardrobe felt insufficient for a family room.
