Great welcome and service. Nice hotel.

We booked this last minute as a dog friendly hotel to meet friends. We were given a very warm welcome and staff were very hospitable and helpful throughout our visit. We stayed in Highgrove room which was a very good size and very clean. It was genuinely clean rather than chemically clean which you often find in dog friendly rooms. The food was very nice but the choice was restricted compared to the online menu.

Lovely small comfortable hotel

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Highworth Hotel, and I must say it was a delightful experience. We stayed in Room 4, which was exceptional. The bedding was incredibly comfortable, and the room was spotless, providing a perfect retreat I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a cozy and welcoming place to stay. Just a quick note for future guests: if you’re driving a larger vehicle, be cautious as the alley leading to the car park is quite narrow. A smaller car would be more manageable. Overall, we had a brilliant time at the Highworth Hotel and look forward to returning in the future!

Overall good stay, bad service at breakfast

Beautiful hotel and amazing room! Nice and clean. Breakfast, got a coffee after 5 minutes of waking, had to wait another 20 minutes for the waiter to take my order. I had to leave as I had a meeting so missed breakfast. Only 5 guests in the breakfast room! Chef could of helped out, but said it was down to the water! No team spirit and poor customer service.

Would Come Back

Pros: On site Parking, Wi-fi, Quality Room - Bed and Bathroom, Well cleaned, good central location in Highworth. Night key if returning to room late. Good Customer Service from Hotel Management. Pleasant bar staff. Nice ambience in the evening. Niggles: TV freeview service in room with usual cable service options (Netflix, Amazon Prime etc) with sign in. No room booklet/instructions to explain how to access these services or whether they were paid for services. 30 min timer on extractor fan each time I used bathroom (I timed it). Breakfast. Pleasant but my non full English breakfast option looked sparce on the plate in comparison to the full breakfast option. Could do with beefing up. If Hotel hosting event rear carpark gets full and there is not convenient parking options nearby (offsite). Nearly couldn't park one night of my stay arriving 8.30pm.

Nicest hotel I've stayed at.

Probably the nicest hotel I've stayed at. The room was extremely clean, as was the bathroom and the bed was very very comfortable. I arrived on a Sunday and had the chance to try their amazing roast dinner which I'd definitely recommend. Accessing the parking may be a tad tricky if you own a 4x4 or SUV due to the narrow archway but the average saloon or hatchback should be fine. Only recommendation I could offer for next time would be to have a hairdryer in the room, although I'm sure that would have been sorted quickly if I'd asked the staff. Look forward to visiting again when not on business!
