Do you like beige? Yes? Then this is the hotel for you…read more Everything about this place is mediocre; the functionally bland rooms with their tiny en-suites, the price, the food, the location, the frustratingly slow wifi and the colour scheme. Beigeness. And that's not even a real word. The website description starts with the excitement inducing sentence: 'This welcoming hotel is less than 5-minutes drive from junction 15 of the M4 and 2 miles from central Swindon.' QED. Incidentally, waiting 90 minutes for room service is not pleasant. I actually gnawed part of my arm off due to the hunger. No doubt the restaurant was busy and it's near Christmas and blah blah blah. On the plus side the staff are nice enough and very helpful. In addition, there is a swimming pool, sauna, Jacuzzi and gym for all your fitness needs. Oh, it's also close to a steam museum... So, if you're the sort of person who likes to stay in cheap, clean and vapid environments for a night, don your M&S khaki trousers and drive your Toyota Corolla down the M4 for a fun-filled yawn-fest. This place achieves in providing you with everything you need but nothing you really want.

There is a kettle for tea and coffee but only a couple of plug sockets to charge gadgets. Rooms sleep 4 at a push. Oddly the lift button is pointing the wrong way up (down) and one of the lifts doesn't have a button with the 3rd floor on it. Instead it's an up button. Odd! Notwithstanding a good place to stay for an early getaway to South Wales.

We used this hotel as a base for a brief 3-day portion of our vacation during which we spent a day…read morein Oxford and also made my wife's bucket-list visit to Highclere Castle. We also were able to take a day to explore Swindon, which itself turned out to have pleasant surprises in store. But this hotel was a great value in a location well suited as an anchor point for a visit to this region. We arrived late and finding exactly how to reach the front entrance was a little challenging with the urban street routing and just the general way the UK engineers their traffic flow (let's just say that the thoughts of the traffic engineers in the UK are not my thoughts). But we finally found the road to the front of the facility. The person checking us in was efficient and helpful. We found our room with little problem. The parking here was limited, but there was fortunately room for our car in the garage even though we arrived late in the evening. They did offer a suggestion for cheaper off-site parking had their garage been full or had we wanted to save a few pounds. But we preferred the sheltered, limited access location on-site. The hotel was up to HI Express standards in general. Our room was adequately spacious and clean. The bathroom was slightly cramped, especially the shower, but this is not unusual for Europe. The bed was reasonably comfortable and there was minimal nightime noise, which allowed for a good night's sleep. The WiFi worked well throughout our stay. The breakfast was more than adequate for our needs and the breakfast room afforded adequate seating. The cinnamon rolls go fast, but the hot food availability was more than sufficient with eggs, meat, beans and potatoes. Breads, cereal and yogurt were also available. The reason for choosing this hotel was the price. At around £75 per night, this was very attractive for what it offered. The experience was what I expected if not a bit better than I expected, making this a very good value. I also received my IHG points, which is important to me as a Platinum Member. We would use this hotel again if we make a return visit to the area.

Having stayed overnight at a different place for each of the previous 7 nights things were becoming…read morea bit of a blur. I arrived at the Coach & Horses Guest House late in the day, rang the bell, and was greeted and shown to my room. From the outside I wasn't expecting much and when I stepped inside it felt a bit like I'd entered someone's home, albeit one that had a very large dining area with multiple tables and chairs. But there were things present that gave the impression of a home. Up on the top floor, facing away from the street, my room proved to be somewhat of an oasis and completely different than all of the impressions I'd accumulated. The room was very big, orderly, and immaculate. It felt like someone had thought of everything. There was space for 2 comfortable chairs in which to relax, a big fan to circulate the air, a safety step for entering the bathtub/shower area, and more. This room - it's spaciousness and aesthetic - made me regret that I was staying here only one night. A lovely, made to order breakfast was included in my stay and served by the warm, kind owner, Sylvia, and her niece. Sylvia's hospitality was really the icing on the cake for this visit. (How warm and kind, you wonder? Sylvia personally drove me and my luggage to my next place of lodging, took a little scenic detour en route, and suggested I call her if I needed a ride to the train station in a few days. Talk about going above and beyond)! Coach & Horses is a wee bit outside the hubbub of central Oxford but still very near to everything you'll want to see It's a nice, flat walk to everywhere and I discovered a great restaurant in the very next block. Don't be deterred by its slightly off-the-beaten path location. If you're anything like me, you'll be very happy you chose to stay at Sylvia's Coach & Horses Guesthouse.

Toad Hall Adventure play is open 7 days a week and offers soft play facilities for children from…read morebabies through to juniors. There's a good under 3s section with a ball pit and 2-stage climbing frame (soft). There are some sit-on soft toys and some blocks. The floor is a bit suspect and there's a bit of an old smell to the area - nothing terrible but you do notice it. The play equipment appears safe but could be in better condition. The main soft play is a triple height affair with climbing, balls, slides and chutes. It's safe and in better condition than the toddler area. At weekends and after school this place can get packed but, during the day it's not too bad. A cafe facility is available serving teas, coffees, soft drinks and snacks. The prices are reasonable. Tables are kept away from the soft play being behind a low wall. They are OK but there's not a good view of the play area meaning that it's hard to have a coffee and take care of your child. For many parents this just seems to mean that they don't watch their child and so you do have to be careful that your child doesn't get set upon by unrully kids. It's not a particularly comfortable place but it's a good local option for a rainy day. Car parking is available.
