We had a fantastic time this weekend! All the staff were warm and made us feel very welcome. Our room was very warm, with a lovely shower and comfy bed. The food was absolutely delicious! Over the course of the weekend we ate in both restaurants. Both restaurants were top notch! Thank you very much for having us, we will be back.

very friendly and pleasant staff. Nice little hotel for a one night stop. Unfortunately breakfast is not provided and the Cafe in the village/town I was told I could use has closed down. breakfast was a cold sandwich from Tesco. Not the best start to the day.

Stayed in a small single room but had all the basic necessities including a shower/wc. Room was very warm and unable to turn temperature down on radiator but opening window solved that.

Nice and clean hotel in a good location. Great village with a few more pubs to visit. Good welcome by the manager and to top it off the best pint of Guinness in Wiltshire. 👍

Our stay at the Vale Hotel
Made to feel very welcome from everyone there, they also made our dog feel extremely Welcome. Enjoyed a few drinks on the evening with the locals our room was clean and tidy, excellent value for money our only regret was we wasn’t staying for longer. If we were to stay in the area again we would definitely stop in the Vale Hotel

10/10 Exceptional

The service here is exceptional, definitely an 6 stars, which adds to the properties charm, we particularly liked the roof top terrace where we enjoyed two of the amazing gins on offer. Our room was airy, bright and nicely decorated with lovely shower too. The good here is amazing too, with really interesting options so much so we were struggling to decide, always good. It is a 18th century property though so floors are not flat and stairs as they were proactive in advising before we got here, not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. Can highly recommend and would certainly book again.

As a solo female traveller I found the Vale Hotel to be perfect for my needs. I had a lovely, comfortable, spotlessly clean room in a quiet part of the hotel. I felt totally safe as the security was impressive and the host made me feel extremely welcome. There is a lovely outside area to enjoy a drink from the Gin Bar and a delicious choice of food. The host was very knowledgeable about the area. A most enjoyable stay - thank you.

Located in the High Street, which is convenient, and we were not troubled by noise at all. The greeting and service from Mark could not have been friendlier, and the locals in the bar were very affable. A fascinating, quirky building which is being upgraded and improved - the rooftop sun terrace is very pleasant. No hotel car park but street parking outside & a public car park are free. We ate at the excellent Kenyan/Fusion Restaurant and wished we were staying longer to sample more dishes. The Thai Restaurant at the back was full of apparently happy customers. We would happily stay here again.
