I needed a convenient B&B in Highworth for just one night. The Plough was very well sited for my needs and I was met on arrival by the Landlord and his wife who were very genial.
My room was ample and adequate as well as being well presented but was let down by overseeing the main road. Normally this would not have been a problem, but due to the oppressively hot weather the window was necessarily wide open, leading to high traffic noise. (Enough to drown the TV) Through no fault of the management, other than a lack of any form of fan, I spent a very uncomfortable night due to the temperature. In normal conditions the room would have been more than adequate. The shared Bathroom was adequate if suffering with a very squeaky floor. Breakfast was quite outstanding, cooked to order and both large and really good quality, served in the Bar and really excellent.
For those looking for a reasonably priced, if basic B&B, which incidentally allows dogs by arrangement, in mild weather this place is great. The only reason that I have for marking it down was the lack of anything to try to combat the exceedingly high temperature at night.
