There isn’t anything I can say negative about the Place. We have stayed there before and now decided whenever we return to Swindon we would not stay anywhere else. It’s such a Friendly place and the Staff are so helpful and obliging. Rooms are immaculate. Everything you need is there and spotlessly clean. Food great and Breakfast outstanding. What more can I say. Well Done to the whole team can’t wait to return.

We stayed at the Tawny Owl for 3 nights for a family break and a base to travel the Cotswolds. The accommodation was great and the staff were friendly and couldn't be more helpful. The morning full english was huge and a great way to set you up for the days travels. From the bar staff to the chamber maids, all were so very welcoming. A truely enjoyable stay. Thank you all.

Good access to the Local enjoyable scenery of the Country Park. Sited in a modern residential area but you have to watch out for enthusiastic joggers. Bus No.16 provides a service from the Bus Station to Tawny Owl six days a week. Handy for visiting the Swindon & Cricklade heritage Railway. There are no local shops as such, nearest I could find was the Orbital Park quite a long stretch or again 16 Bus

Twin room en suite accommodation was clean and spacious, but even though an inn/pub, it is most definitely self service and absolutely no room service was provided. I even had to take dirty dishes back myself and when ask for more milk/coffee etc, was only offered a small jug of milk from behind the bar as apparently after 9pm everything is shut down apart from buying alcohol. However no information was given with regards to any of this on check in, and no information leaflet/pamphlet provided in room. Basically if you don’t sort it out for yourself before 9pm, you go without. Check in chaotic & staff also announced my room name/number in a busy public place, which imo if you are a lone female, this is a security risk, as accommodation is accessible to members of the public. Stair lift not available, as was blocked by linen/bedding bags. No privacy screening on windows, so had to keep curtains and blind in bathroom closed if you didn’t want ppl seeing you naked/dressing or undressing, from the car park/beer terrace. Shower head broken and screen leaked all over the floor. Fan was provided, but broken and dusty. I would rebook, as its location is extremely convenient.

The staff are very friendly and obliging. The food was also very good. The room was quite nice with a good selection of tea, coffee etc. The bathroom is very tired and could do with a refresh. The sink had a crack in it. The price was very good so did not expect it to be perfect. Would stay again if we are in the area.

Old Tired and lacking.... No soap in the room, stayed 2 nights and no room service so be prepared to make your own bed. Breakfast does not start until 9.am so if on an early start this is an issue. Often has live bands / music and so room can be noisy. Car park limited in space. As a Pub.... first class....good food, staff friendly and good ambience....

Nice and easy check-in with the young lady who showed me to my room. Decent food and beer options there and a speedy service. The rooms are qell maintained and quieter than you think it will be above a pub. Stayed a couple of times and will be likely to stay again. Also a bonus of allocated hotel guest parking. Useful when its busy with guests

We had a fantastic stay, check in was easy, the room was well laid out, in good decor and repair. The food available from the bar was excellent quality and value for money. We were concerned that staying above a pub would be noisy, but we didn’t need to worry, it was very quiet, occasionally someone would laugh loud, but not enough to wake anyone. We had an amazing stay and would be more than happy to return.

Absolutely disgusting und dirty. Bed was made up but sheets were not changed from previous guest! Linen was covered with lots of male body hair as was the bath tub. Not even rinsed. The lowest of standards of decency, not to speak of any standard regarding hospitality. Don‘t understand the positive reviews, clearly no recommendation!
