The Plough Inn

The Plough Inn was a fairly basic hotel. One important point, the bed, once my head hit the pillow I was out like a light. The atmosphere in the bar was wonderful, the locals were amazingly freindly and I was drinking and talking with them all night.

Don't stay there

Terrible place to stay. The shared bathroom had broken and dirty toilet seat, the music in the bar each night was loud and raucous. Couldn't get any sleep. Left before the end of planned stay - Don't stay there!

Disappointing and basic

Disappointing, no free car park as advertised. Room had a wonky floor although the twin bed was comfortable. Right by a busy main road so expect traffic noise. Pub does not service food but great bistro options 5-10 mins walk into Highworth. Biggest frustration was the shower did not work, the bath did not have hot water abs so I had to wash my hair under the cold tap in the bath. Would definitely not return

Stay somewhere else

The Plough is a lovely pub run by lovely friendly people, however as a hotel goes my room was the mostcheerless place I have ever stayed. No carpet, no bedside light, comfy enough bed but only about 1ft off the ground so not easy to get in or out. 1 socket hanging out the wall, the other broken with bare wires visible. Tv and kettle run off a junction board. Shared bathroom that always seemed occupied and looked none too clean. No food available at pub. Bit of a walk too anywhere in town.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff were helpful. We were allowed into the pub before the check in time of 6pm. It is a budget hotel so I was not expecting luxury, but I was expecting cleanliness. The shared bathroom was filthy, dirty skirting boards, cobwebs over the window, dirty grout round the bath. Our room had dust on the window ledge and around the skirting and the kettle was dusty, I cleaned it before I used it. It is not clear either that all rooms face an increadably busy road and we had lorries passing 24/7 all night less than 5 feet from our bedroom window. The carpet on the landing was stained and the whole place needs a coat of paint. Not a memorable experience.

Meh

Cheap n cheerful a bed for the night. Serviceable but by no means impressive. The pub is nice but no food and a good walk to the town. The rooms and bathrooms are useable but run down it’s ok for the price and good enough as an overnight for a working bloke.
