Leisure pool, standard of food for Dinner
Beauty Salon - one of the main reasons for choosing this hotel was the fact there wasa beauty salon attached, but we were not ablet o get a free appointment for either of the days we were staying

De Vere Venues Shaw Ridge Hotel, Swindon - Reviews & Ratings"Excellent" (107651916)
A very clean, comfortable and well-appointed room. V. Comfortable bed. The hotel is well positioned for us visiting Swindon.
When we arrived at reception, they seemed to have no knowledge of our booking. I had taken a print-out of my emailed receipt and it was all sorted reasonably quickly .. but I was surprised.

De Vere Venues Shaw Ridge Hotel, Swindon - Reviews & Ratings"Overall we had a lovely stay and would go there again for sure as staff can not do enough for you ." (107963396)
Restuarant food is amazing wanted to eat more but just could not fit it in !
The gym was not attended by a member of staff whilst we were using the weights for the whole 45 mins! which is unheard of back home in any of the gyms we use. We have been using this hotel for a number of years now and even though the rooms are nice the deco could do with being updated as found some old photos from 1996 and the rooms are still the same.!!!!

De Vere Venues Shaw Ridge Hotel, Swindon - Reviews & Ratings"Would have been quite nice if not for the dull lighting, extreme heat and barage of people asking us to leave!" (107197857)
Thought the Brunch was very good.
I booked this because of the 5pm checkout. I was disturbed by a Phone call and a knock on the door, both to ask what time we would be checking out. Considering the booking I was not happy about this. Also the room had a real lack of working bulbs.

reception staff very friendly and upgraded us to a better room. Clean and well equipped room and very nice breakfast in our room. Will stay again!
shower in bathroom was set on a temperature which was a bit too hot for me - didn't seem able to adjust it. But a lovely good sized bathroom with good quality towels.

from Wallington , GB on August 19, 2008
The standard of the hotel was excellent
However, there was loud rock music playing at 3-4am from the room underneath mine and this kept us awake. As a result we overslept and missed the breakfast which should have been part of our stay. We were offered a cup of tea and toast in the bar as a result of this.

De Vere Venues Shaw Ridge Hotel, Swindon - Reviews & Ratings"If we had known there was no air-conditioning in the bedrooms we would have not booked. It was hot and stuffy and we didn't sleep very well even with the windows open. The fixed heat from the bathroom didn't help. The tables and chairs in the breakfast area were dirty." (3305205804)
It is in a very convenient area of Swindon
We arrived in the rain and nobody helped us in with the luggage from the car at the entrance to the hotel they just watched us struggle! then they just gave us our room key and pointed us in the right direction which was on the secondfloor.They were not interested in public service at all.

De Vere Venues Shaw Ridge Hotel, Swindon - Reviews & Ratings"Parents loved it and have insisted that I book De Vere for them whenever they stay with us. Staff all helpful, friendly and conscientious. Hotel decor lovely - think it has not long been refurbished. Food of a very high quality, good range and good size portions. In my opinion, only thing that lets it down is location - on Shaw Ridge Leisure Park - effectively surroounded by cinema, bowling alley, Link centre and car parks." (3305204383)
parents stayed in accommodation - liked size of rooms, decor, bed (fantastic)

De Vere Venues Shaw Ridge Hotel, Swindon - Reviews & Ratings"We enjoyed a pleasant stay at the hotel. The staff were very friendly and efficient both at Reception and in the Breakfast hall. Having a nightclub, ten-pin bowling and cinema within throwing distance is very nice. Might be worth mentioning this on your website - if it already isn't!" (3305198749)
Convenient location, good facilities, friendly efficient staff.
The entrance is literally at the Pizza Hut roundabout.. we missed it the first time.

De Vere Venues Shaw Ridge Hotel, Swindon - Reviews & Ratings"The hotel would be served a lot better if it had air conditioning, the supplied fan does not help enough. It would have been nice to know the room over looked a road - hence the noise did not help when trying to sleep!!" (3305107917)
Helpful staff members.
Plastic mattress cover made you very hot during the night, no air conditioning
