Do you like beige? Yes? Then this is the hotel for you…read more Everything about this place is mediocre; the functionally bland rooms with their tiny en-suites, the price, the food, the location, the frustratingly slow wifi and the colour scheme. Beigeness. And that's not even a real word. The website description starts with the excitement inducing sentence: 'This welcoming hotel is less than 5-minutes drive from junction 15 of the M4 and 2 miles from central Swindon.' QED. Incidentally, waiting 90 minutes for room service is not pleasant. I actually gnawed part of my arm off due to the hunger. No doubt the restaurant was busy and it's near Christmas and blah blah blah. On the plus side the staff are nice enough and very helpful. In addition, there is a swimming pool, sauna, Jacuzzi and gym for all your fitness needs. Oh, it's also close to a steam museum... So, if you're the sort of person who likes to stay in cheap, clean and vapid environments for a night, don your M&S khaki trousers and drive your Toyota Corolla down the M4 for a fun-filled yawn-fest. This place achieves in providing you with everything you need but nothing you really want.

We also were able to take a day to explore Swindon, which itself turned out to have pleasant surprises in store. But this hotel was a great value in a location well suited as an anchor point for a visit to this region. We arrived late and finding exactly how to reach the front entrance was a little challenging with the urban street routing and just the general way the UK engineers their traffic flow (let's just say that the thoughts of the traffic engineers in the UK are not my thoughts). But we finally found the road to the front of the facility. The person checking us in was efficient and helpful. We found our room with little problem. The parking here was limited, but there was fortunately room for our car in the garage even though we arrived late in the evening. They did offer a suggestion for cheaper off-site parking had their garage been full or had we wanted to save a few pounds. But we preferred the sheltered, limited access location on-site. The hotel was up to HI Express standards in general. Our room was adequately spacious and clean. The bathroom was slightly cramped, especially the shower, but this is not unusual for Europe. The bed was reasonably comfortable and there was minimal nightime noise, which allowed for a good night's sleep. The WiFi worked well throughout our stay. The breakfast was more than adequate for our needs and the breakfast room afforded adequate seating. The cinnamon rolls go fast, but the hot food availability was more than sufficient with eggs, meat, beans and potatoes. Breads, cereal and yogurt were also available. The reason for choosing this hotel was the price. At around £75 per night, this was very attractive for what it offered. The experience was what I expected if not a bit better than I expected, making this a very good value. I also received my IHG points, which is important to me as a Platinum Member. We would use this hotel again if we make a return visit to the area.

I arrived at the Coach & Horses Guest House late in the day, rang the bell, and was greeted and shown to my room. From the outside I wasn't expecting much and when I stepped inside it felt a bit like I'd entered someone's home, albeit one that had a very large dining area with multiple tables and chairs. But there were things present that gave the impression of a home. Up on the top floor, facing away from the street, my room proved to be somewhat of an oasis and completely different than all of the impressions I'd accumulated. The room was very big, orderly, and immaculate. It felt like someone had thought of everything. There was space for 2 comfortable chairs in which to relax, a big fan to circulate the air, a safety step for entering the bathtub/shower area, and more. This room - it's spaciousness and aesthetic - made me regret that I was staying here only one night. A lovely, made to order breakfast was included in my stay and served by the warm, kind owner, Sylvia, and her niece. Sylvia's hospitality was really the icing on the cake for this visit. (How warm and kind, you wonder? Sylvia personally drove me and my luggage to my next place of lodging, took a little scenic detour en route, and suggested I call her if I needed a ride to the train station in a few days. Talk about going above and beyond)! Coach & Horses is a wee bit outside the hubbub of central Oxford but still very near to everything you'll want to see It's a nice, flat walk to everywhere and I discovered a great restaurant in the very next block. Don't be deterred by its slightly off-the-beaten path location. If you're anything like me, you'll be very happy you chose to stay at Sylvia's Coach & Horses Guesthouse.

First advice I will give you is don't rely on AA maps to find Bottlesford. The Inn is primarily a public house with accomodation, which closes in the afternoons from 3 until 6. It is a vibrant place frequented by the locals who are from various backgrounds and social classes, but what you have is a great mix of people and a brilliant atmosphere. The Inn has an excellent Chef and serves quality food in informal but comfortable surroundings. The decor is in keeping with the building, with lovely feature fireplaces, wood beams, brass and leather and there are some really lovely features like carvings in the beams and posts. The food is good honest fayre, which ranges from Sea food to home cooked pies and meat dishes, it is well prepared to a restaurant standard and the portions are generous. The prices are very reasonable too. The bar is well stocked, and serves really good ales, which the owner has a genuine passion for. The Bed and Breakfast Well what can I say apart from what a find. We stayed in the Wooden Room and it was a gem, 17th Century timber framed features, with a modern en-suite, very very tastefully decorated, immaculately clean, with TV and Tea and Coffee, windows open under the eaves of the Thatched roof with views over the local country side, a small amount of noise from the bar area, which didn't really affect us as we spent our evenings in the bar. The remote location is truly magnificent and makes the inn a success, The food is worth a trip alone. Breakfast was lovely, the breakfast Chef really tries hard to get you exactly what you want, Eggs and produce are delivered from local suppliers (presumably farms), The inn sells beatiful cards featuring local scenes (including the inn), by a local water colorist. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back again. Lincoln (landlord) and Michael (head chef), had recently taken on the inn as a partnership, and I wish them all the best for the future and every success at the 7 stars inn.
