Best Hotels near McColl＇s, Highworth

My mother and I checked in to Jury's Hotel Swindon for what was to be a short two-day stay for a convention. Due to a medical emergency and then us both falling ill, our two day stay turned into a seven day one. Jury's became our home away from home and couldn't have been better. The staff were all extremely supportive and kind given our unfortunate situation. I didn't catch anyone's name, but I wanted to especially thank two members of staff who helped me with my mother when she fell very ill and needed to go to the emergency room. The two ladies went above and beyond their usual work duties without any hesitation. I owe them a huge debt of gratitude and I certainly hope their supervisors recognize the amazing staff they are so fortunate to have. Our room was clean, comfortable, and had a great view of Swindon, which is a charming town. Especially old town Swindon, just up the street from the hotel. It's centrally located on many major bus lines and is a short walk from the bus station. The buffet breakfast was absolutely delicious, as was every meal we had from the restaurant. My only complaint is that the room did not have a mini-fridge or microwave, which would have been extremely convenient for us, but we were able to eat just fine between the food delivery apps available and the hotel restaurant. I wish every hotel was Jury's Inn Swindon caliber. Well done. 👏

When I booked the hotel, I wrote a parking lot. I didn’t go there. I have to pay another 9.5 pounds to the nearby parking lot. The service is not good. We stayed for 2 nights and 3 rooms. On the first night, we told the front desk that we wanted to change the second night. 1 is not changed.

Our vintage car club held its annual AGM weekend at this venue last weekend. There were some 20 cars and their owners most of whom spent 2 or 3 nights there. The grounds and the setting are exceptional and everyone I spoke to agreed that the rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable. Our annual dinner was excellent, tasty and varied food all served in a timely manner. The food from the bar and the restaurant was also very good indeed - tasty and well presented. The staff without exception made us very welcome and could not do enough to help and serve us despite being very busy with several other events over the weekend. I thoroughly recommend this beautiful hotel with its swimming pool, gym and spa, not to mention tennis court, football area and excellent children's playground.

On arrival there was a delay with checking in as my booking could not be found. I arrived 3 minutes before an online work commitment and was told it's up to me to call my agent because they did not have the booking, despite me being able to show a confirmation. Informed that I could not afford to spend 20 minutes on the phone with them. After a while they then realised another staff member already checked me in. I would imagine that staff is trained to first check all possible scenarios (arrival list, in house list, cancelled booking, no show, etc) before inconveniencing and worrying the guest. Stayed in room 229, large pink stain on the carpet, carpet is up for replacement. Bathroom was ok, but shower dial is loose. When changing temperature it takes 20 seconds for the change to pull through the shower head so for a first time guest was playing around with it and found it challenging to get the temperature I wanted. Showers in mens changing room in the pool need work. Silicone around shower entirely moulded. 80% of the lockers are out of action. Jacuzzi was not working. Bedside light bulb not working. Maid walked into my room a little after 9am. She has no right to enter print to my check out time. breakfast was so so. Asked for poached eggs. A plate with two watered down poached eggs arrived which tasted far too strongly like vinegar which was clearly used in the water to prepare them. No croissants, pain au chocolate or bread available for at least 5-10 minutes and despite 3 staff they only replenished when they were informed by guests and did not notice themselves.

Great hotel staff shame about outside. The noise at night was off putting with people racing cars around the car park opposite.

We stayed here for 4 nights to explore the Cotswolds. We couldn't have picked a better place to stay. On arrival we were upgraded to an apartment by the wonderfully friendly Maria, who made sure we were having a good stay throughout the time we were there. The food variety at breakfast was so good, the restaurant food was also great, I would recommend the Salad Nicoise. Our apartment was attended to every day, and the housekeeping staff were faultless. Although this is a dog friendly hotel, at no point was this apparent with any dog smells. Joanne, one of the waitresses at breakfast always welcomed everyone with her friendly smile and again, nothing was too much to ask of her. She is a real gem of the hotel. It was nice having the other choices on the site to eat and drink at too, The Hideout a particular favourite of ours. Would ber recommend to stay here, absolutely we would, and we would come back again with our dogs, the area around is so dog friendly with plenty of scenic walks, especially the big park in Cirencester. The pool area was clean and calming, as we were staying for a longer period, we were offered to use the pool without booking a spa session. This place is the gem of the Cotswolds Water Park to stay.
