The place to Stay in Swindon.

There isn’t anything I can say negative about the Place. We have stayed there before and now decided whenever we return to Swindon we would not stay anywhere else. It’s such a Friendly place and the Staff are so helpful and obliging. Rooms are immaculate. Everything you need is there and spotlessly clean. Food great and Breakfast outstanding. What more can I say. Well Done to the whole team can’t wait to return.

Great friendly service

We stayed at the Tawny Owl for 3 nights for a family break and a base to travel the Cotswolds. The accommodation was great and the staff were friendly and couldn't be more helpful. The morning full english was huge and a great way to set you up for the days travels. From the bar staff to the chamber maids, all were so very welcoming. A truely enjoyable stay. Thank you all.

Good access to the Local enjoyable scenery of the Country Park. Sited in a modern residential area but you have to watch out for enthusiastic joggers. Bus No.16 provides a service from the Bus Station to Tawny Owl six days a week. Handy for visiting the Swindon & Cricklade heritage Railway. There are no local shops as such, nearest I could find was the Orbital Park quite a long stretch or again 16 Bus
