The hotel was nice and clean the staff were friendly. The issue was we booked with Expedia on the VIP tier and we received none of those benefits, which I thought was poor, I also think with the amount we paid the standard should have been a lot higher, at £200 a night you'd expect the very best, if the price wasn't as high as it was my review would have most likely been higher, but this is not a hotel that is worth £200 a night, there are cheaper hotels in the area which would offer you the same sort of standard in the room etc

A beautiful property in the centre of Corsham. The staff were really friendly and welcoming and I loved the bedroom and beautiful bath. A perfect place to escape to for a couple of days. Corsham itself was quiet, I think more due to the bad weather, but lots of places to visit nearby.

I was very disappointed at this hotel. Being a gold VIP Expedia member, I was expecting a better service from the woman in reception. She did not explain or said anything regarding the perks and the free breakfast that came with our stay. The room almost smell like an old man has been staying there for weeks. The toilet bowl had SKID MARKS in them!! You'd think they would have cleaned this. My pregnant wife did not enjoy the experience. This is by far the worst VIP Expedia hotel we've stayed at. One thing that we really liked was the food in the restaurant and the breakfast. Hence, the 2 stars.

We had a lovely Christmas stay at the Methuen Arms. For the first time, the whole family, immediate & extended, were able to be together for a hassle free Christmas lunch because the ‘Met’ took over. 😁 The staff were wonderful. We all loved it, so a big THANK YOU is called for. 👏

Noisy beer garden outside bedroom window
The hotel operates as a bar, restaurant and hotel. Thats great for most custoners as it means one single place for eveything. Unfortunately if you are traveling for business and need to get some decent sleep i would recommend you stay clear. They have a lovely outdoor beer garden which means very loud noise which progressively gets lounder until 11.30pm. If like me you stay in room 19 or 20 you will absloutly hear eveything. The hotel is clearly aware of this issue as they provide earplugs... they dont help. First review of a hotel ever; this year i have stayed in 45 different hotels across uk and this is by far the worst. The room was lovely and cosy and beyond exemplary just, the noise really did let this place down.

We pulled into the hotel after a long flight with a rental car not working properly. Rose was at the reception reception desk and was very busy with guests. She is so good at her job, getting guests through properly and quickly. She went out of her way to assist us and make sure we had a nice ending to a stressful day. It was much appreciated. Thanks Rose!

The property is on a main street so the rooms facing the Main Street could be noisy at times. We picked a premium room. The room we were in was clean but there was an old leak in the ceiling that was not repaired. The wall paper was discolored and peeled off the wall where the leak was. The bathroom was clean and large in the room we stayed. The gardens and the outdoor space were very nice and the staff were friendly. There was only one set of towels in the room and it took a couple of tries to get a second set. I forgot my phone charger adapter and the person at the desk lent me his. The bar area was clean and nice but basic. The breakfast was fine. It is close to the main area of the town.

Staff friendly and helpful on reception and in dining room. Close to amenities in town. Cost of food high. Good outdoor space for relaxation. Room safes didn't work although they were present. Hotel of this rating should provide secure storage in room. Servicing of rooms good except cafetière was not clean on arrival. Car park surface leads to dusty environment. Lack of choice of breads at breakfast. Only Sour Dough available should have white and brown especially for toast. No fresh fruit or cereal available at Breakfast. Breakfast order (porridge) incorrectly prepared in kitchen 3 of the 4 mornings. Waitress dealt with this very well. Full English sausage dry - hash browns good. We live on a busy road but other people would find Room 2 noisy especially with the window open. Maybe triple glaze windows.

We recently stayed at Methuven Arms and had a disappointing stay. My husband has a dog allergy and whilst the hotel states it is dog friendly, they were everywhere - at breakfast, dinner and walking up stairs. Anyone with same allergy will know that dog hairs get everywhere and there didn’t appear to be any segregation. We waited more than 40 mins for breakfast and had to leave without eating it on the first day. It’s a lovely quaint hotel in a beautiful spot but we felt it is very expensive for amenities and service.

Lovely old hotel with bars, snugs, dining rooms, gardens, outside seating and fabulous rooms. Staff were friendly and helpful, food was delicious - would recommend anyone to eat there whether guests or not. Outside seating areas were so pretty with candles, real primulas, fleece throws and cushions. Clean, comfortable and very enjoyable stay.

The property is beautiful, a glimpse back into Georgian times with period pieces and interesting artwork. Our bedroom was stunning with 4 poster bed, roll top bath and a rainfall shower. Lovely luxury toiletries too. Lighting was very dim though, with no overhead central light, so it was a struggle to see the mini bar and facilities in the wardrobe, and made it difficult to read. At dinner, which was pretty good, most of the food locally sourced and plenty of carbon neutral drinks, sadly our server didn't know much about the menu at all and seemed new to dinner service, probably nothing some staff training couldn't solve.
