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

The Carpenters Arms, one of Swindon’s gems. Working 150 miles away from home for two weeks is a difficult time for anyone. I was very lucky to find this amazing place on line and called to make the reservation. On the initial booking contact, the chap on the end of the phone was extremely helpful and reassuring. On arrival on... More

We stopped over for one night, to break up the journey from Cornwall. The rooms were clean, comfortable and well equipped with everything that we needed, lovely to find a bath as well as a shower. The food was good and competitively priced. Very friendly owners we were made to feel very welcome. Would like to return in the future.

This is ideal place to stop as a work overnight or for longer stays. I stayed approximately 3 months and would not hesitate to stay again. It is reasonably priced and the accommodation is a good size with nice facilities. Pub has good food at reasonable prices

Great place to stay just outside Swindon with 9 motel style rooms all well equiped. Pub has nice local beers and refreshinbgly over 7 veggie options on the food menu. Would happily stay here again.

Working up and down the country you take pot luck a lot of the time when choosing your next home from home. I have been known to take one look and keep driving till I find something nicer! Well that certainly wasn't what happened when I pulled up outside the Carpenters Arms. A great little country pub, with fantastic food... More

The food was so good and the room was so comfy that we decided to stay another night. The shower was the best one I've had on our holiday so far. I loved the selection of music (classical) in the dining room. Check in and check out were quick and hassle free. Plenty of room for parking and a very... More

What can I say? This is not a corporate hotel, but a small country pub with chalets attached. The rooms are a good size and clean; the hosts are very friendly and helpful; and I can thoroughly recommend the food! Excellent value and a refreshing change from the ananymous corporate hotels. I've stayed there many times and wouldn't consider anywhere... More

At one time there was 5 of us staying and working on a local contract. My first contact with Bob, he stated that accomodation was available and let me view the room, the room/bathroom was very clean and well laid out. We used to work long hours and come back sometimes not to clean, but B & B would smile... More
