Terrinle room, above the kitchen. Absolutely boiling hot with no air conditioning. The constant smell of food and the awful drone of the extractor unit. The room I stayed in was called "The Courtyard" I might as well have slept in the courtyard, I would have had a better night sleep. Never again.

A very comfortable stay. Room was very clean and tidy. Bathroom could do with a bit of TLC, although the shower was good, with plenty of hot water. We stayed on a Saturday night, so there was a party with music in the pub downstairs but this didn’t overly disturb us. We both had a lovely nights sleep.

Had to approach bar for service. Very limited interaction - just escorted to room and provided key. No information provided. Bars of soap provided on bathroom sink, and not pump soap. Difficult to get soap off hands. Room comfortable enough.

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.

A lovely little pub with excellent accommodation and friendly staff on the doorstep of the Cotswolds. They also do an amazing cooked breakfast.

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
