• David (10/5): -
• John (7/5): -
• Anthony (9/5): A nice place - The staff were very friendly and helpful. A very interesting building. Dinner and breakfast was very nice. The method of using the reception area to eat was interesting and understandable. Thanks Nothing
• Kenneth (1/5): We decided not to stay. - The room we were allocated had a damp smell. Paint was flaking off the windows and above the skirting level on the walls the paint was bubbling from what looked like damp. It was generally very tired and needed as a minimum basic maintenance.
• Gary (10/5): - Lovely friendly staff nothing is too much trouble. This was the second time we stayed here. We highly recommend it. Value for money and the breakfasts are top quality ingredients. Rooms are clean and furnished well that complements the age of the building yet still has all the mod con you need. My wife and I travel around the British Isles alot and this hotel is a little gem. 10 out of 10 from us. Nothing everything was perfect.
• Hubert (8/5): - Ruhige Lage, bequeme Betten, wir hatten das Familienzimmer zu zweit, hatten also viel Platz, gute Park Möglichkeiten sehr gutes Frühstück, Möglichkeit dort zu Abend zu essen
• Emily (9/5): - Lovely friendly welcome from our host, with a fantastic breakfast to look forward to every morning! Very comfortable bed and a great location to explore many beautiful towns and villages nearby. Thank you so much for having us! :-)
• Andrew (10/5): Comfortable, friendly with great food. Perfect. - It’s character and location
• Mike (9/5): Perfect for our short stay. Very polite, helpful staff - Charm of the property. Peaceful location.
• Mark (10/5): A little gem - Peaceful, great location, and charming Nothing
• Richard (8/5): - Nice area Peaceful
• Abstiens (9/5): - Karen war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Ein sehr gemütliches Zimmer und Hotel. Die Lage mitten in den Feldern gefiel uns sehr gut, häufig sind Rehe an unserem Fenster vorbeigelaufen. Besonders das Frühstück am Morgen war sehr schön!
• Lawrence (1/5): Lies and cheats - Nothing was good Absolutely, disgusting, booked 2 rooms for my lads to stay here 14/04/26. Upon arrival they was told that they couldn't use those rooms because it wasn't booked by them and didn't have the card it was booked on. They was told that they good rebook the rooms there self's through booking.com and that they was going to cancel the rooms already booked and reimbursed the money! Well today 15/04/26, I have phoned up to find out what is going to happen and was told that was not true and that they was not going to reimbursed the money as the lads didn't pay for the rooms again for them self's!!! Its an absolute disgrace and disgusting!! I book 4 hotels a week the same way and have never had this problem!! I would not recommend this hotel to anyone. Feel completely disgusted and cheated out of our hard earned money
• Dovilė (9/5): -
• Lesley (6/5): Quirky but value for money - Quirky but comfortable No bar to sit in. A bit bleak
• Jose Carlos (10/5): -
• Ody (9/5): -
• Jonathan (10/5): -
• Teresa (10/5): - The peace
• James (10/5): -
• Graeme (8/5): - Comfy bed,good breakfast Nothing
• Sueokey (7/5): - Owner was lovely and welcoming. Good parking, short walk to nearest pub that did excellent food. Take a torch though as its a dark road. Good breakfast served for when we'd ordered it. Ate in the hotel lobby which was a bit weird but OK. Loved seeing the wild deer outside our room in the morning. Bed wasn't the most comfortable, too soft and we kept rolling into the middle.
• Mike (6/5): Nice property and peaceful setting with a tasty breakfast. - Location and waking up surrounded by fields. Karen was very helpful and breakfast was nice. Customer service from Tonny was non-existent. Zero attempt at helping or showing empathy. Accused us of being unreasonable for not answering an email sent at 0800 until 1500 on a workday. Really took the shine off, almost cancelled in advance as a result of interactions with him.
• Shane (9/5): Nice room and great breakfast - All very good. Thanks very much. See you again, Shane
• Ronald (10/5): A+ for the Schoolhouse - We wanted to stay here for the experience of an old schoolhouse. The room was very comfortable with a great old feel. It had all the amenities we needed. We didn't make dinner reservations in advance and were grateful they were able to seat us. The meal was truly exceptional!!! It was the best meal we ate on our trip - and we ate very well. The cooked vegetable plate, with several different types of vegetables were the best my wife has ever eaten. We sure hope our travels will bring us back to the Schoolhouse Restaurant and Hotel again.
• Andrew (10/5): -
• Catherine (9/5): Friendly and delicious! - Very friendly hosts and an excellent dinner & breakfast, in a beautiful building
• Geoffrey (8/5): Suited our requirements. - Food was exceptional . Lack of lounge and bar area.
• Neville (10/5): Excellent hotel and restaurant to stay for a night or longer. - Classic mid 19th century schoolhouse. Very quiet location But within 5 minutes drive to Wootton Basset or 15 to Swindon centre. Room was very clean, warm and comfortable. Karen the host was a wonderful. Friendly, warm and welcoming. Breakfast was excellent (served if you wish in the room) and the evening meal options also very good. Close to the M4, but you wouldn’t notice as it was so quiet and peaceful. Very good location. Beautiful countryside directly outside. A very good and relaxing stay. I’ll definitely return. Nothing
• Rhonddarob (10/5): Comforting and welcoming - Friendly owner . Nice sized room which was clean. Good parking spaces. Option to serve breakfast to the room was very welcome and we were able to pick a time. Breakfast was substantial. Menus produced daily for the evening meal which we ate at one of four tables in the foyer. Good choice of meals which always included a fish and vegetarian option. My wife and I cleared our plates every time because they were so enjoyable. Nothing
• Peter (1/5): -
• Phil R (8/5): A beautiful setting with food to match - We ate from the table d'hote menu and were extremely pleased with the quality of the food. It was excellent. We both had mushroom starters, which were so tasty. Our mains were sea bass and pork fillet, again faultless and we ate every last scrap The dining room was atmospheric, despite the fact that we were the only diners in there. Service was very friendly. Breakfast was served in the room, we both had smoked haddock and eggs on toast-again top marks. the fish was white, meaty and not a sign of a bone. The bed was not quite like many of the good chain hotels, it had much more give in it.

• Liam (10/5): -
• Michael (9/5): -
• Teresa (10/5): - We always enjoy our stay here.
• Diane (10/5): An overnight stay whilst travelling…kind,professional…great breakfast…we’ll go back again. - A charming place …
• Robert (10/5): Pleasant stay ,with very polite welcome and an excellent breakfast ..very good value stay - Friendly,warm and welcoming Lacked atmosphere
• Bujar (8/5): Great host , good location, decent breakfast - Location
• Lorraine (10/5): - The room was clean and bed comfortable. Breakfast was excellent and Karen was very welcoming. All was good
• Zékán (9/5): Was so lovely 😍 - Lovely people, lovely place, building. We enjoyed the food, the atmosphere off the building. The bed was old and creaked 😁
• James (10/5): -
• Teresa (10/5): - The owner was very welcoming
• Maggie (9/5): A good place for a short break. - A warm welcome from our helpful host, and a delicious dinner. We came for a family party in a nearby venue, so the Old School House was very convenient for us, as well as being a charming place to stay and a good base for visiting other attractions. It's quite clear from the hotel information that there is no bar or lounge (though drinks etc are available) which was fine for us, but maybe not for all. The coffee was ok, but not really to my taste, but then people are very particular about coffee, so it's hard to please everyone!
• Tobias (10/5): Delightful. Like home away from home. - The wonderful and personalised service, homely rooms. We enjoyed our stay there very much. We’ve been back twice so far, and plan to stay there again, whenever we are in the area, and assuming they have availability. Can’t thank Karen enough for her hospitality and kind thoughtfulness. We like everything about the property because it suits our needs and wants. Some people may find it a bit off the beaten track.
• Christine (5/5): Disappointed wouldn't stay again. - Very good breakfast friendly staff Breakfast was either served in room or a few tables in a very small foyer. No bar although staff said they could serve us drinks in the foyer. Room very dated and basic. Bed was very hard and uncomfortable.
• Benjamin (8/5): -
• Peter_Wales (8/5): - I've stayed here before and I'll hopefully stay here again. A warm welcome. A warm and comfy room on a very cold night. Very tasty breakfast using quality produce.
• teresa (10/5): Amazing - Karen was amazing, so helpful. Everything was clean. Lovely stay. Nothing
• Giorni (10/5): Residenza storica molto bella e buon cibo! - La struttura storica è molto bella, hotel curato e pulito, ottime la cena e la colazione (con opzione vegane!) e super gentile la proprietaria!
• Alan Mead (8/5): Alan - Location it was quiet and peaceful No fridge or a teaspoon in the room would be nice if there was a fridge to put your milk in and a teaspoon for your coffee instead of a stirring stick
• Maxine (9/5): -
• Peter (5/5): Ok for a one night stay - Lovely old building serving very good food and exceptionally clean It was a bit rough around the edges and the bedroom was cold
• Susan (10/5): Excellent overnight stop. Friendly and attentive reception and one of the best meals we have ever been served. - Friendly welcome, comfortable room, exceptional food which was delivered to room
• Dale (10/5): Very hospitable and friendly - Lovely staff Lovely venue
• Alex (10/5): Magnificent - Very nice hosts Had to go to other town.
• Teresa (10/5): -
• Rotjana (10/5): - An outstanding place to stay, only 5 minutes to Royal Wootton Bassett where I have family. Welcome was genuine and friendly, room was clean and warm, we had a bath and shower en suite which was clean and plenty big enough. Breakfast - my favours the continental- wife had the veggie full English absolutely excellent…. And good choice. All in all a 10 out of 10. Service and atmosphere made the stay memorable so will use this hotel on all our visits… Thanks Leaving
• John (8/5): Very good - Friendly greeting, stylish building. Freshly cooked food. Dated facilities. Tired decor and linen.
• Abbey (1/5): Bad damn repairs, freezing room. - Friendly reception staff There had clearly been a large water leak in the past and the room had a stink of damp about it. It was also freezing cold. Water streaks on every wall has just been painted over with gloss paint but still evident.

• darren (10/5): Owners were lovely and the husband who was the chef! Knows how to cook..one of the best pastas I've had - Beautiful building as it should be It was not mine! Amazing place
• Bobby (10/5): - Lovely little place, the hostess was lovely, the food was very nice and the bed was very comfortable.
• Gabor_69 (9/5): - A lovely accommodation in a quiet and beautiful part of the English countryside, with a historic atmosphere. We stayed in a clean and spacious room. Karen is an attentive and helpful host. The breakfast served was excellent. Thank you! Judit & Gabor

• Paul (8/5): -
• Ricot (9/5): - Location very good, dinner excellent. All good.
• Andrew (8/5): -
• Ekaterini (9/5): -
• Kara (10/5): Would definitely stay again amd recommend to friends. - A lovely hotel, with attentive and welcoming staff. The building is gorgeous and the decor is in keeping with the age which is nice. Breakfast was very good and set me up well for the day ahead. It was within walking distance to Royal Wooton Basset, which was really handy too. And had supermarkets, petrol stations, and restaurants close by too. The actual location of the hotel was very quiet at night, so I slept well.
• Maria Sol (8/5): -
• Leontine (9/5): -
• Tina (8/5): -
• chris (8/5): -
• Stuart (4/5): Not comfortable and not good value for money. - Location The rooms are bland and not very welcoming, the bed needs replacing, not comfortable. Arrive after 21.00 and you can no longer check in! Breakfast served in the entrance hall not the restaurant. Food crammed on to a small plate and not great quality.
• Jayne (5/5): Passable - It's got character and it's clean. Karen your host is lovely The room smelt of damp, there was evidence of damp on the walls the paint was coming away. Didn't like the idea of eating in the foyer and not having chosen your own breakfast / buffet. Also if you wanted cereal it would have charged at £5!!!!!!!.
• Leonard (8/5): Good stopover close to the M4 - Great price, decent room & excellent breakfast Not much - single room a bit narrow & a shower curtain, otherwise all good
• Mark (9/5): All very good with an excellent evening meal - Beautiful setting
• Claudia (10/5): Exceptional -
