Fantastic communal space that can be enjoyed at any time. The room was a great size with tea/coffee making facilities and amazing toiletries. The breakfast was excellent quality with lots of options. If im ever in the area again I would 100% stay here again. ##### Mark Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matt Apr 29, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay Excellent service and friendly staff, kept the kitchen open as I was arriving late on day one. The rooms are excellently finished and the location makes for a quick drive into central Swindon. Only slight gripe is that the heating seems to stop working at midnight which wasn't ideal for late working, won't affect many people. ##### Matt ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marta Jul 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely place indeed. The hotel is in a farm, and rooms on the detached barn. The conversion is lovely and very nicely done, with nothing short of a modern facility. Spotless clean, the best toiletries I tried in ages (also up for sale!). Great attention to details, comfort and environment. I definitely recommend a meal in the pub where most food is sourced locally. Preferring a meatfree diet, I found the menu a bit red-meat-heavy, but there are a few vegetarian options and the pizza I had was delicious. Breakfast is also delicious! The little village and local country side are lovely for a walk. Non-common perks: the rooms have a common lounge to chill, read, have a glass of wine or a tea, listen to music etc. loved the idea, especially for a rainy afternoon. Overall a Very relaxing environment and pleasant experience. ##### Marta Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### christopher Oct 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Another great stay at the Royal Oak.
