"What a great night at the Catherine wheel. We met Debbie when we checked in and she was so warm and friendly she made everything very easy for us. The room was clean, modern and very quaint. The food was outstanding in the restaurant with a good menu selection. There were 11 of us for dinner and you could tell everything was fresh and home made the pie was especially incredible. Thank you Catherine wheel we will be back again!! "

"Parking was quite tight but perfectly adequate the 2 nights we stayed. The bar and restaurant were absolutely fantastic and the staff could not have been more friendly and welcoming. "

"Pictures do not do this gem of a place justice. Check in was a breeze, the pub is quirky, but the accommodation was fantastic, quiet, comfortable and clean....all wrapped up in a 300 year old stone building. Such a beautiful spot, probably our fave and would love to return."

"Lovely room. Very comfortable bed. The whole courtyard and conservatory area is lovely. Great breakfasts too. Very handy for town. Certainly one of the best guest houses we've ever stayed in."

"Gorgeous hotel room right in the heart of Marlborough! We booked the room with the golden bath which was such a treat. The breakfast offering was very generous and the room had everything you could need (it would be helpful to have some bath products by the side of the bath, as the shower gel etc in the shower were attached to the wall which made it tricky). Otherwise 10/10!"

"Great location, plentiful parking, about 8 mins from park and ride, friendly and helpful staff, only criticism were that one side in the bedroom could have done with a wipe down (easy mistake to make and fix, rest of the room was spotless) and the basins were huge which mean cleaning teeth/face without getting everything wet, was difficult. I would go back however as it was a great hotel and the staff were good."
"The check in staff were excellent and very helpful. And the rooms are extremely clean. We got there early and found parking available in there car park (surcharge for 24hrs) which was on the property so very convenient.
Had a great stay and will come back to this branch if I come to Swindon"
"Hotel location, atmosphere, spa and room were nice.
Reception staff - lovely.
Bar/Restaurant Staff weren't rude but didn't seem bothered with actual service. I counted 10 dirty tables as we walked into the restaurant area, they were still all cluttered 90 minutes later. After waiting for table service for 15 minutes, I found a member of staff who asked to me follow them to the bar rather than serve us at the table, for no real reason than their convenience. We were approached once and asked whether we wished to order food but no one came back to ask as after that so we gave up. No one was rude, but no one really cared whether we were there or not.
Spa was lovely and all the staff polite and engaging."
"Overall the hotel was clean. But our stay was marred with the awful smell of urine in the drains overnight. It was supposed pungent that it affected our sleep. "
"Where do I start… check in-no one took a deposit so had trouble with having to pay for everything as I couldn't bill room until I finally sorted it at the front desk.
Room key didn’t work second day because my reservation of adding a night seemed to confuse staff so had to be at the front desk every morning until that was sorted.
Room restock was HORRIBLE. Had to call every night of a 4 night stay because staff had not refreshed at least 1-5things such ascoffee, tissue, sugar, water, spoon, coffee cups. They didn’t clean room, wipe fixtures, or vacuum. Bed was made by throwing up the duvet and haphazardly throwing the pillows on the bed.
Had a young woman masseuse who thought she was a medical doctor and I had to tell her 4 times to stop working on my back in a sensitive area and she told me “but you are tight all over” so we work where it’s needed!!!!!!! Excuse me I have been in this body for 60 years and I know it better than you little girl!!!!
Room was noisy as it was right next to the utility closet where the staff made a huge ruckus getting the vacuums out at 7:30am every morning.
Fire alarm went off randomly one morning at 8am-no communication, information. Nothing.
I ignored it as the service was so subpar I figure it was a false alarm..and it was but it went on for 20 minutes.
You get complimentary items first night but then couldn’t get them again even though I offered to pay for them to get them.
Got impression all staff just did the BARE minimum"
