Business travellers will welcome all the usual business facilities, including free Wi-Fi in all rooms. Car hire and station and airport transfers can be arranged. Leisure travellers will enjoy the places of interest, such as Oxford, Marlborough, Cheltenham, Stonehenge, the Cotswolds, Bath and Avebury, all of which are within easy driving distance. The Great Western Designer Outlet is 4 miles away, ideal for shopping. The Ridgeway is very close, great for walkers.
All visitors will appreciate the hotel's location and look forward to returning at the end of the day for a drink or light meal in the Common Room bar, with its high ceiling and big windows. Dinner is served in the Brasserie, formerly the main school room. Seafood is a speciality. Log fires will be burning in winter, and the outside terrace will be serving cool drinks and delicious food in the summer.
