Title: B & B in swindon
Post by: axs on Friday, January 4, 2008, 11:25:43
A few friends of mine are Forest fans and are coming down for the game on the 19th jan and staying over - anyone know any decent B & Bs they could recommend,  especially around old town?

There are a couple of Victoria Hill, just down the road from Longs.  Not sure if they're any good or not though.

I suppose it's a bit optimistic to think to people who live in swindon have stayed in a B&B here!

I've been looking online but none of them seem to have websites, just appear on listing pages.

Royston Hotel 01793 522990, Vic Hill

They have a room at the back that has own entrance and sleeps 4, worth a go

I'd look on laterooms.com - might be some links to reviews from there...

A lot of them use the listing pages to get there business. But it then costs more. I usually look on the listing pages then type the b & b / hotel name in to a directory and ring them direct and see what they have. Cant see it being too busy that weekend in Swindon.
