Hotel Sudbury House (Swindon, United Kingdom)

All staff are noteworthy in their people skills and enthusiasm.  Efficiency is observable throughout the hotel, specifically superb in reception, wait staff and bartenders.  Professional, polite and friendly, even when short-staffed and busy.  

Great selection of both cold and hot items on the breakfast buffet.  The Magnolia Brasserie is a lovely dining area, especially when the sun is out and you can sit outside and enjoy a meal or cup of coffee on the terrace.  

The hotel is perfect for business travel and growing to become excellent for leisure as well.  With easy walking distance to central Faringdon, all attractions are a stroll away, including favourite pubs.  Don't forget to stop by Faringdon Folly and catch a glimpse over several counties at once.  Only a thirty-minute ride from Oxford.  Plenty of parking and free Wi-Fi. The design and features are much improved here since the refurbishment was completed.  The terrace added to the Brasserie is a favourite new element. Extras like fruit baskets and water left in the rooms are appreciated. Large bath tubs in some rooms are also popular.

Seems a lot of areas are going short-staffed recently.  Long wait times in the bar and restaurants can be expected.  Breakfast buffet items need quicker replenishment to keep up with the crowd.

You may want to check the outdoor seating area for ants before accepting a table out there.

Some felt their meal portions were too small and lacked sufficient fresh vegetables.  Others complained the breakfast eggs and meats were left out too long and had become dry; its recommended to ask for freshly cooked items whenever possible. Most didn't care for the early breakfast closing time of 9:00 am either.
