The rooms where warm clean and comfortable but the break was average and took
Lovely warm, welcoming room, clean, comfy beds & modern shower room.
All essentials were provided, very good breakfast & well hosted, highly recommended!
We stopped for a single night and was amazed at the service we received, shown to our room and was very surprised on the size of out room....It was Huge.
Breakfast the next morning was made to order and a good array of item for breakfast, staff was very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.
My room was in the older part of the main pub, and whilst some of the building was ageing, the room was well looked after and comfortable. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating to all requests. This is a traditional homely hotel and excellent value for money. Highly recommended.
First stay in the hotel as we came up from Isle of Wight to visit our son and his family. Staff very friendly and helpful, will be our first choice for future trips and stays to Shrivenham.
Lovely area friendly staff, only problem was the bed has wooden sides and a low mattress which means you hurt the back of your legs trying to get out of bed the mattress needs higher.
A useful place to stay when visiting Avebury. Basic rustic accommodation. Unfortunately, when we arrived we discovered that the kitchen was closed other than for breakfasts. However, the Prince of Wales across the road was open for meals. We had two cooked breakfasts here, deliciously cooked by different staff. All the staff we met were friendly and helpful, prividing a home away from home experience. Bed was comfy and we slept soundly. Our dog was treated wonderfully.
Suggested improvements would be upgrading the sockets to USB ones & adding a mirror in the bedroom.
Staff were helpful & friendly provided a relaxed welcoming service. We thought it great value for the price paid.
We were impressed with the size of the room and how quiet it was so we had great sleep. Shower pressure was amazing.
Would definitely stay again.
The room was clean , coffee and tea facility, bottle of water as well in the room , food was amazing and breakfast was very good would recommend to friends to stay , would definitely come back again
We were visiting friends in the village.
Room was nice and warm, staff very helpful, good selection at breakfast. We opted for the full English which was good.
Perfect do our stay plus dog friendly.
The staff made us feel very welcome and breakfast was delicious. Shrivenham is a beautiful village and the Barrington Arms was perfectly located for our stay. Can’t beat it for value for money.
Fantastic place to stay. Everyone attentive, friendly and helpful and dog friendly. Excellent breakfast, extensive continentalplus full english at weekends. Room opens directly onto courtyard amd garden which was great for the dog. Lovely comfortable bed.
