I had a lovely stay at Carpenters Arms. The staff was very friendly and helpful, parking on-site was a good size, and the food was excellwnt. I had breakfast and dinner twice and was quite happy with all the meals and the service. The room was small but to be expected for the price, will definitely stay there again when I'm back in the Swindon area😁

Remote location. Run-down feel about the grounds and paint work. Poor vegetation choice. Everything closed at 21.15 even though it’s a pub

Back to Basics

This is a back to basics accommodation, don't forget a towel and toiletries. Overall the stay wasn't bad, things require a refresh and the staff (and food) in the pub are very good.

Very good value for money.

Late arrival due to traffic holdups not a problem. Rooms fine for our purposes. Bathroom fittings somewhat dated but bathroom HUGE! Breakfast available in pub at extra cost but food excellent and reasonably priced. Would come here again if travelling this way.
