Rooms a little tired particularly the bathroom. Staff very friendly and pub food not bad at all. Very strange that breakfast was from 9.30am, which was too late for us as we had a business meeting in Swindon.

The staff in the bar and at check in were super friendly and helpful. The room was really lovely. Roomy, comfortable, good size tv and large en-suite bathroom. Quiet, warm and lovely biscuits in the room. Best of all the mattress was soooooo comfortable. We had lunch in the bar which was yummy too. Would highly recommend staying and eating at The Tawny Owl.

Nice room, clean and comfortable. Easy check in with Mel, she gave us the full low-down on arrival. Unexpected live band but not too noisy in the room (what do you expect, it is a pub) and they closed down by about 11:30. Would gladly stay again

Arrived about 6pm to be told hot meals ceased at 4:30! Hugely disappointed, one of the primary reasons for choosing this property was the prospect of a pub meal having been travelling all day.
