I recently stayed at the Carpenter's Arms for a week on business in Swindon, on the recommendation of a colleague. I found the reception from the friendly staff welcoming, the food satisfying and the accomodation very comfortable. All in all I left a very satisfied customer! Thanks for a great stay guys!!!!!!

I've just moved to the area from London and am exploring new places in the area. Before we get to the sharp end of the review, I want to say that I thought the staff seemed really kind, lovely, gentle people. In terms of food and drink though the best thing I can say was I had a nice pint... More

I was a resident at the Carpenters Arms for nearly 3 years until last week when the new Tenant, David Chilton, kicked me out for complaining about the room being freezing the night before.

My wife and I, along with another couple stayed at The Carpenters Arms Motel, Swindon, owned and managed by Bob and Barbara. On arrival, it was evident that this was going to be something special. Although the chef was not there on our arrival, a full lunch menu was still offered. The selection of food and drink at The Carpenters... More

Excellent value, the rooms and food are both wonderful. Bob has been really helpful and has bent over backwards to accomodate our workforce for the last 5 weeks.

I've been booking rooms for my operatives for a number of weeks now and Bob the proprietor couldn't be more helpful. The rooms are budget priced, but well appointed and very clean. The Carpenters is well situated to reach north Swindon. I can highly recommend the Carpenters, and if ever we've got a job up that way again I'll certainly... More
