complicated parking

Nick’s warm reception really set a positive tone for my stay. The room was beautifully furnished with Laura Ashley decor, clean, and offered a large HD TV with Netflix, making it easy to unwind after a busy day. The village itself is charming with plenty of nice pubs and restaurants nearby. While I appreciated the complimentary bottle of water, I really missed having a kettle in the room for my morning coffee. The shower setup was a bit tricky, and parking outside was complicated. I encountered issues with parking navigation that could be better addressed. Despite these inconveniences, the location is prime and made it easier to explore Marlborough.

the location is super good, right in the middle of marlborough, and nick the owner is really nice and helpful. my room was beautifullly furnished with laura ashley stuff and was clean and tidy. plus, they provided a free bottle of water which was a nice touch. i loved having a large hd tv with netflix to chill after a long day. the village has nice pubs and restaurants that you can visit nearby too.

but there's no kettle in the room which sucked for my morning coffee, and there's no breakfast offered at the hotel.

6.0

The rooms are clean and comfortable, with tasteful decor that adds a nice touch of charm. Having a large HD TV with Netflix made my downtime enjoyable – a definite plus after a long day of galactic business.

On the downside, there's no kettle in the room, which makes it a hassle if you're craving a cup of tea or coffee. The lack of breakfast on-site was disappointing, and parking options were limited and a bit pricey. On top of that, those narrow stairs can be a pain when you’re dragging your luggage up. while the experience had its moments, there's room for improvement in the amenities department.

Basic Functional for a Short Stay

I stayed one night as I worked in Devizes. the room was straightforward but served its purpose. Enjoyed access to a large HD TV with Netflix, perfect for relaxing. Pro tip, Bring your own kettle if you need a caffeine boost in your room.

Warmly welcomed by the owner, Nick, who even assisted with our luggage. The room was spacious and had a charming character, though slightly worn. Spot-on location in the heart of town, and we enjoyed the free Wi-Fi during our stay. Just wish breakfast was offered.
