Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Welcome prosecco drink in the lounge upon arrival, really made you feel at home. Breakfast was exceptional. The cooked breakfast was Well presented and tasted wonderful . Lots of choices. Loved the self-serve cereals, fruits & yoghurts, not having to wait for service is really nice. Dinner was equally good. The cheese soufflé really hit the spot! Our room was a 'classic' overlooking the street and the Abbey to the side. Perhaps a trifle warm at night as the weather had turned mild after all the cold days but very comfortable with two sofa chairs by the window. Great gadgets such as the Dyson hairdryer, alongside retro phone. The fridge was much appreciated along with the coffees and teas.
Negative: Lack of consideration shown by others parking in the confined car park, when the spaces were plenty big enough and they did not have to park over their line, restricting space to drivers entry door.
Summary: Comfortable hotel, pleasant welcoming staff and very good food set in the heart of Malmesbury.
