Great location for exploring the area as it’s a bit out of the city centre and you don’t have to battle the traffic. The staff were also lovely and provided great service.

We have just returned from a lovely stay at the Sun Inn Swindon and we enjoyed our couple of days spent there. The room we had was clean and comfortable and warm enough at all times. The bed was large and very comfortable and there was a kettle and plenty of tea, coffee and hot chocolate to make a cuppa. We slept very well both nights and although there was a busy dual carriageway opposite there was no noise from traffic during the night. The food in the restaurant was of a good standard and reasonably priced and we ate breakfast each morning which was very nice with plenty of choice. The burgers we ate one evening were delicious and there were plenty of beverages available on tap. The staff working at the Sun Inn work hard and they we're very polite and attentive and one particular barmaid who also had an food allergy like myself was very helpful and informative helping with the menu. Overall we were very pleased with the service and good food we received and at £90 for a two night stay including a cooked breakfast was tremendous value. Many thanks to all the staff for making our stay a happy and memorable one. 😊

Oddly high reviews
It's a bit run down generally although the purpose built accommodation outside the pub was cosy and comfortable. The pictures of the rest of the hotel are not very representative and were probably taken a long time ago. It's not a buffet style breakfast, just a choice of full English or something else with tea or coffee. I declined to have the breakfast because the are was being redecorated and stunk of paint and was covered in protective sheets.and there was only a small place to eat it in a not very clean area. They should have catered better for people whilst they were refurbishing. I'm not a fussy person but I'm suprised at how high the other reviews are. Makes you wonder ... The staff were friendly and helpful but I won't be goiing back.

Restaurant could do better
The room was a bit tired, but very clean with plenty of extras shampoo etc. The 1st night the service in the bar was dreadful. We waited over 90 minutes for food, it was not totally what we ordered, but we still had to pay full price. The 2nd night wasn't much better, we were told that French fries were still off the menu. The 3rd night we ate elsewhere. Breakfast wasn't brilliant, but acceptable

Slightly disappointed but would stay again
On the positive side I was able to get a good nights sleep (both nights), very comfy bed and lovely and quiet. On the negatives I thought the service was lacklustre. When I went for breakfast the first morning the manager didn't offer to take my order which seemed strange so I waited longer than I needed to. For the second day I went for breakfast at 7.20 am (breakfast was advertised as being from 7.00am) but no one was around. I decided it was best to shower and go to work rather than hang around. I therefore have to mark the stay down. That said I would still recommend the Sun Inn especially if you value sleep and location above all else. It's in a great location for Swindon and near very nice walking spots including Coate Water.

Liked: Cleanliness
Room was ok but chair didn't feel safe.The underfloor heating was turned off and didn't realise until early evening so room cold and then by bedtime extremely hot! Towel rail not orking at all.Staff pleasant enough but presentation could be improved. Evening meal - chipsand peas lukewarm served on cold plates, fish was ok.They had a function at the same time so appeared understaffed. Nice water park next door.
