From the moment we arrived at The Vale Hotel, we were made to feel completely at home by the wonderful young owners. Their warmth and genuine hospitality set the tone for a perfect stay. Our room was absolutely gorgeous—beautifully designed, spotless, and incredibly comfortable. Every facility was impeccable, clearly cared for with pride and attention to detail. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we will definitely be returning. A truly fantastic stay from start to finish!

Small but clean and friendly

We were only here 1 night for a party but the experience was a good one. Room was small but enough room to spend a night and was clean and comfortable. Loved the garden out the back and a good range of drinks were available. Cricklade is pretty and would definitely stay here again.

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. 👍

I was very happy with my stay. First it was good value and although there’s no on site parking, there was a free car park just around the corner. The staff were friendly and my room was a decent size, temperature and with a comfy bed/pillows. It was well equipped and had good water pressure in the shower. It was also clean. I also ate my dinner here and the steak was excellent.

A quirky place. Mark is very friendly, but keeps a tight ship. It is small and he seems to be the hotel staff, so check in is exact: not before17.00 unless by asking. It is dog friendly, but only in 2 rooms. The highlight was the superb restaurant Jambo with a strong Kenyan influence. Outstanding There is also by repute an excellent Thai restaurant out the back, but unlike Jambo not dog friendly.

Wonderful Inn and Restaurant

Owner checked me in, really lovely guy. Very friendly and helpful. Room nice and comfy. Restaurant downstairs had a special on, so i had a sampling of the goat and the venison curry. Best I've ever had. Owner also pours a mean Guinness. I'll definitely be back!
