Do you ever manage to take in a home game when your up here
I get to a couple but TBH mate a lot of our breaks are over close season May, June, July and August but the last one I got to was the Exeter home game, we stayed in Old Town for that, nicely positioned for the pub and football.

Its in your blood JJ irrespective of how many games you can get to plus family, relocation and health can get in the way.

Holiday Inn at Coate is ok and you've the Sun Inn opposite which also does rooms now too. Both well located to get about from and also get to/park etc. Plus good for a drink/meal in the evening.

Thanks all, will have a look at a few of those.
We are in Cornwall the week before, travelling back on Friday so thought it would be easier to stay around Town on Friday night as we are at home Saturday.
Want somewhere that it’s easy to get to the game on Saturday and also for coming home (ie near the A420), albeit with the roadworks may have to find a different route

I reckon the Sun Inn at Coate is your best bet. Close enough to get to the ground, you can also head out home via Ashbury from the Common head roundabout, to avoid the White Hart roundabout debacle.

I would highly recommend Sun Inn at Coate, decent pub, good home cooked food and very good clean rooms that are only a couple of years old round the back of the pub. And pretty cheap too TBF.

The White Horse View in Shrivenham is very nice and Shriv has some decent eating options.

We live quite close by so have eaten there a few times Very good food. I’m far from a connoisseur on Swindon’s pubs food but I’ve never eaten better in a pub.
