What a find! I booked at the very last minute - literally an hour or so before arrival - and feel I was very lucky to have chosen The Vale. The welcome was warm and friendly, the people are lovely, the room was a bijou but beautiful single (I was travelling as a lone lady with her dog) and spotlessly clean. The food is an interesting fusion of Indian and Kenyan (with standard fare on the menu too) and it was absolutely delicious. All cooked freshly from scratch on the premises. Cricklade is a lovely place - very friendly - and on the Thames Path. I walked downstream to Castle Eaton, had lunch in the pub there, and walked back - that's about 9 miles in total. There's another village upstream with a pub that's about the same distance, so two nice but not taxing day's walks are easy to do. The Vale is a real gem - a genuinely friendly, welcoming place where everyone talks to everyone else, and they love dogs too. I hope to be back.

Nice and clean hotel in a good location. Great village with a few more pubs to visit. Good welcome by the manager and to top it off the best pint of Guinness in Wiltshire. 👍

We had a fantastic time this weekend! All the staff were warm and made us feel very welcome. Our room was very warm, with a lovely shower and comfy bed. The food was absolutely delicious! Over the course of the weekend we ate in both restaurants. Both restaurants were top notch! Thank you very much for having us, we will be back.

very friendly and pleasant staff. Nice little hotel for a one night stop. Unfortunately breakfast is not provided and the Cafe in the village/town I was told I could use has closed down. breakfast was a cold sandwich from Tesco. Not the best start to the day.

As a solo female traveller I found the Vale Hotel to be perfect for my needs. I had a lovely, comfortable, spotlessly clean room in a quiet part of the hotel. I felt totally safe as the security was impressive and the host made me feel extremely welcome. There is a lovely outside area to enjoy a drink from the Gin Bar and a delicious choice of food. The host was very knowledgeable about the area. A most enjoyable stay - thank you.
