The Plough Inn

The Plough Inn was a fairly basic hotel. One important point, the bed, once my head hit the pillow I was out like a light. The atmosphere in the bar was wonderful, the locals were amazingly freindly and I was drinking and talking with them all night.
Brian, 1-night trip

Don't stay there

Terrible place to stay. The shared bathroom had broken and dirty toilet seat, the music in the bar each night was loud and raucous. Couldn't get any sleep. Left before the end of planned stay - Don't stay there!
Steven, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Disappointing and basic

Disappointing, no free car park as advertised. Room had a wonky floor although the twin bed was comfortable. Right by a busy main road so expect traffic noise. Pub does not service food but great bistro options 5-10 mins walk into Highworth. Biggest frustration was the shower did not work, the bath did not have hot water abs so I had to wash my hair under the cold tap in the bath. Would definitely not return

Stay somewhere else

The Plough is a lovely pub run by lovely friendly people, however as a hotel goes my room was the mostcheerless place I have ever stayed. No carpet, no bedside light, comfy enough bed but only about 1ft off the ground so not easy to get in or out. 1 socket hanging out the wall, the other broken with bare wires visible. Tv and kettle run off a junction board. Shared bathroom that always seemed occupied and looked none too clean. No food available at pub. Bit of a walk too anywhere in town.

2/10 Poor

The staff were helpful. We were allowed into the pub before the check in time of 6pm. It is a budget hotel so I was not expecting luxury, but I was expecting cleanliness. The shared bathroom was filthy, dirty skirting boards, cobwebs over the window, dirty grout round the bath. Our room had dust on the window ledge and around the skirting and the kettle was dusty, I cleaned it before I used it. It is not clear either that all rooms face an increadably busy road and we had lorries passing 24/7 all night less than 5 feet from our bedroom window. The carpet on the landing was stained and the whole place needs a coat of paint. Not a memorable experience.

Meh

Cheap n cheerful a bed for the night. Serviceable but by no means impressive. The pub is nice but no food and a good walk to the town. The rooms and bathrooms are useable but run down it’s ok for the price and good enough as an overnight for a working bloke.

Rustic bar /lounge with tv sports But bunkhouse bedroom with coils of bad wiring in the corner. Shared bathroom in need of updating. The low tariff makes it hard to moan about - get what you pay for, it’s safe and comfortable

Nice Pub!

Great, with a friendly pub as part of the building. Some noise from other room guests.

Lovely old pub

My son and I were made very welcome at the Plough. Everything was clean, comfortable and homely - all the essentials thought of. Everyone we met there was friendly and we instantly felt at home. The couple of things I asked for (a bedside lamp, and help with getting the TV working) were seen to readily and with no fuss. Breakfast is not available every day but there are plenty of alternatives in Highworth so that was not a problem. We were given a key to the back door so could come and go as we needed to. Would happily stay again. Things to be aware of: soft mattresses (very comfortable but not for everyone); rooms face onto the main road, which is busy at rush hour, but not a problem if you close the window.

This was ideal for me as I was alone and visiting family in the area so wasnt looking for anything special as I was mostly out. Hotel room met my needs for the two night stay. Recommended for individual stays.

Overnight stay

Ideal for an overnight stay not ideal with a dog as room but small but clean and tidy
Karen, 1-night trip

Good place for a post-event stop-over

No breakfast, but lean room. Not small, adequate sized twin bedded room. Bathroom across corridor. Good price for a place to kip whilst 'on the road'
