Chris, 2-night trip

First stay in the hotel as we came up from Isle of Wight to visit our son and his family. Staff very friendly and helpful, will be our first choice for future trips and stays to Shrivenham.

Friendly Staff, pleasant village.

Lovely area friendly staff, only problem was the bed has wooden sides and a low mattress which means you hurt the back of your legs trying to get out of bed the mattress needs higher.

I liked the room and breakfast
Andrew, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room did the job, booked a double bed but got 2 singles. Bed was a bit springy, maybe a mattress topper but overall no issues.
Ross, 1-night trip

Bathroom was large and clean. Room was comfortable.
Audrey, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Good overnight stay

Clean room, powerful shower and pleasant situation. The walls were a bit thin so you could hear cisterns refilling and you could feel the springs through the mattress. Also the tv did not work and neither did the bathroom mirror light. The outdoor garden was nice and the staff were friendly and cheerful.
Anna, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff were friendly, hard-working, very helpful and professional. Our room was immaculate. Breakfast was excellent. Will definitely return.
Freya, 3-night trip

One night only.

Friendly and welcoming hotel. However the service at dinner was poor as we had to go to the bar to order both courses.
Paul, 1-night trip

Very Pleasant Stay

We had a very pleasant 3 night stay. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout from initial welcome to final farewell. The room was large enough clean and warm, the bed had a solid frame, the mattress was softer than my preference but my wife was happy. The bathroom was large with a spacious powerful shower. We had a continental breakfast on our 1st morning which was supplemented with cooked to order options at the weekend. A particular highlight was the fresh berries on offer. Shrivenham is is a small a quiet setting giving a peaceful night's sleep which is a big plus compared to many Swindon hotels

Very Pleasant Stay

A very pleasant hotel and well maintained. I had a very comfortable five night stay in the Barrington Arms. The bed was large and comfortable. I travel for business and as a result, I stay in a lot of different hotels. The vast majority of hotels no longer service your rooms and blame Covid. I was very pleased that The Barrington Arms still service rooms. There was a continental breakfast served Monday to Thursday from 7am was suited me as I needed to be at work before 8am. Unfortunately the cooked breakfast on a Friday starts at 8am and therefore I was at work before breakfast. The staff did supply me with a continental breakfast on the Friday. I will stay again when in the area.

Yes the room was clean
Roger, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

My room was in the older part of the main pub, and whilst some of the building was ageing, the room was well looked after and comfortable. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating to all requests. This is a traditional homely hotel and excellent value for money. Highly recommended.
John, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Welcoming, clean and great breakfast
Chris, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Suggested improvements would be upgrading the sockets to USB ones & adding a mirror in the bedroom. Staff were helpful & friendly provided a relaxed welcoming service. We thought it great value for the price paid. We were impressed with the size of the room and how quiet it was so we had great sleep. Shower pressure was amazing. Would definitely stay again.

Great Location for RIAT!

Was myself and my friend who stayed here for 2 nights for the Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford. Great location for a 25 minute travel between the two places. Slight hiccup upon arrival but sorted very quickly. The owner (Ben) is a delightful guy who very much went out of his way to make up for the hiccup, and couldn't have been nicer or done more. He even made up a breakfast bag for me to take with me when I departed early on my last morning. Thank you Ben! The bar area in general is a great size, loads of space to move about. There's a pool table, darts board, and a TV available in the bar area. there are two outside seating areas, one of which has a number of tables and large umbrellas, the other on a grassy area beyond the rear car park. A couple of things which could be improved. Could do with at least one more member of bar staff. When we arrived, Zack was the only guy in there (it seemed) and he was running around trying to do his best, but was clearly in need of assistance. Food that we had was great, looked great, tasted lovely, and a decent size, menu was a little small but that's being really picky as I'm a fussy eater. Overall my experience was positive, and will likely stay there again. Thanks to the team who did a great job.
Paul, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

A little haphazard

Our room had a recently refurbished bathroom, which was good (although the machine linked to the toilet did make an unexpected noise from time-to-time). However, the overall feeling was that the hotel was poorly organised. In particular, the breakfast arrangements were slow and insufficient thought had been put into thinking about what the clients might need (and not know where to find) etc.

Friendly, spotless, well cared for room

Warm and friendly welcome. Room immaculately clean and tidy. Friendly breakfast service. Hot breakfasts cooked to order.

The staff were all friendly and helpful. The hotel is in the middle of a nice friendly village.

Great little room

GREAT little purpose built rooms out the rear with its own rear parking. Ideal stay for a family get together. Large bathroom and comfy bed
Steve, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

More light please

The lighting in our room was a bit dull even with all lights on. Also, there was no bedside lamp on one side which meant using a torch to read!
