Summary: Great place, clean room and friendly staff. Would recommend.
Marketa Feb 2, 2026 05:13:57 AM
Summary: Bathroom too small, no space for our toiletries even soap in a shower . Bed was very uncomfortable. It seemed to be on an uneven floor and felt like one side of the bed was higher.
samantha Nov 16, 2025 08:20:05 PM
Summary: 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!

Summary: A lovely and ideally located place to stay with plenty of amenities around
James Nov 4, 2025 06:56:17 AM
Summary: 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.
MS H J Nov 4, 2025 06:20:24 AM
Summary: Convenient in Cricklade. Nice room. Quiet.
ROBERT Oct 25, 2025 04:25:15 AM
Summary: A nice little hotel, friendly staff and clean. Plently of sockets to charge your devices and good wifi. Spacious but cosy room. Bathroom could do with a light above mirror and hook on bathroom door.
