Having read some awful reviews about Fieldways just after booking I was a little apprehensive. However I was pleasantly surprised. When you pay only £84 per night for 2 people including a cooked breakfast you really shouldnt expect the Ritz but here are my thoughts. This is NOT really a hotel as it has no restaurant, it is a B&B The cooked breakfast was great and freshly cooked when you reach the dining room The staff are lovely and friendly Our room was very nice, clean and the bed very comfy Yes the place is a bit dated but it is a Victorian mansion and much of the decor and furnishings reflect that. There is no lift and it seems a bit of a rabbit warren at first but you soon get used to it Someone mentioned smelling damp in the corridors but that wasn’t our experience, it’s more an old house smell. The house inside, wooden panelling and downstairs rooms etc were lovely to walk around and imagine it being a family home. Reception is locked at 8pm but you let yourself in with a key after that The front of the house/garden could do with a bit of a tidy up but overall we enjoyed our stay, would recommend it and would definitely stay again

After reading some of the comments, we nearly cancelled. In fact we were pleasantly surprised by the fact that the Hotel and the people running it were really amiable. The building dates back to the early 1800’s with many rooms still untouched. Lots of different rooms to go and spend time with (bring some board games). The pool is quite large, the sauna (excellent), the gym well equipped. The Hotel is not for people expecting a shiny, perfectly polished environment, but if you are looking for something cosy, with a lot of history and you can appreciate some of the unfinished/disused areas (some of which you may be able to explore) than, have a go! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Thanks

I booked a double room but arrived to find I had been given a twin room. They agreed a double was booked, but said it could not be changed as they were full and house keeping gone for the day (before 16:00). Said they would fix next day, but did not. Sauna not working Breakfast quality was good, but service ridiculously slow. I had an appointment, so booked and arrived for the eatliest start at 8:00. I was first there. No staff came in until 08:15 when they took my order. I was not served until around 8:40, last perdon to be served, after 6 other people who all arrived after me. One couple arrived 10 minutes after the waiter took my order, and were still served before me. I was late for my appointment as a redult

Large home with rooms, needs updating. The pool looked nice but it was closed. No staff on the premises after 8pm. The house was quiet and we never encountered any other guests until breakfast. Breakfast was good and fresh. Not much going on in Trowbridge.

The room was very big. And the beds were comfortable. But all in all the property is dated and needs work to get it back to its true beauty. However the staff were very friendly. And please note! The swimming pool is out of action! And will be for at least 6 or so months! (My calculation)

The staff were lovely, wish we'd known beforehand that the pool was closed for repairs, as was looking forward to swimming. Close to local amenities if you drive. Plenty to to in the local area

The hotel building itself is beautiful, however the maintenance of it hasn't been upkept in the grounds. The pool was freezing cold, hot tub isn't filled up, sauna was turned off and my partner and I turned it on and got it running. The rooms themselves were comfortable however the system for the water tanks is incredibly loud and woke us up whenever someone in another room flushed a toilet or used a tap. The breakfast food was lovely, very delicious but with a very small amount of staff, I think things struggled to run more smoothly. It was a very basic hotel and for one night, it was good to stay in. However, I would not be rushing to return.

Undoubtedly my worst ever hotel experience. The pool advertised was not working. The place looked tired. But ultimately the room shower was blocked and water was around my ankles which was disgusting. I had to leave the property after 30 minutes and find another place to stay. The receptionist Sue was helpful but couldn’t do anything as no maintenance at night.

Very disappointed as when I booked this is says it has a health club, this is not the case it closed years ago they have not updated their advert which is very naughty. The heated pool was cold, the sauna was closed, the hot tub was empty and dirty. Breakfast not great. Room was lovely and clean and very warm. hotel was lovely and the lady on reception was really nice. They do need to take off health club and spa from there advert as this is very deceiving.

Terrible, AVIOD. . No heating, unclean, past its best. . Within 15 minutes of arriving, I was searching for a different hotel in the area and checked out. . Mold, repairs & decoration urgently needed. . It was however the requirement to be taken on a walk through corridors and various rooms to be shown the fire exit as the main door would be locked at 8pm. . Mugs in the room unwashed and no heating on. . Felt unsafe and unclean to stay. Room 12.

The room really needs some care and a proper clean. The bathroom needs a deep clean!!!!

Could be such an amazing place but a bit run down and in need of some TLC. The beds were comfortable, however felt unable to have a cup of tea due to the dirty cups. Breakfast was lovely however eating on yesterdays dirty table cloths was a little off putting.

it was very unkept

Receptionist said Bol..cks when I told him I had breakfast included. Is 9 am until 10 he added but tuesday it will start at 8 am. I accepted this as had no choice. Tuesday at 8 am kitchen locked up and no breakfast. Room carpet was stained and filthy with the rest of the room little better. I will avoid this hotel forever!

Booked for my daughter and her boyfriend but they never stayed the night. The room was disgusting with stains on bedding and carpet, had not been hoovered as food and fluff covered sweets stuck to floor, everything covered in dust and other residents told them not to use the pool as it had bought them out in a rash. Receptionist tried her best but was unable to offer alternative room as fully booked. Manager helped sort out a refund through Hotels.com on his own time. Staff seem lovely but the photos show the room was awful.

Really needs some TLC, room was tidy but I wouldn’t say clean. Carpets and furniture were dirty. I didn’t even want to talk bare foot in the room. Shower grotty and filled up within seconds of showering. It’s beautiful from the exterior but inside is so tired. Won’t be returning I’m afraid.

The few staff we saw were very nice but hotel is run down and it was a shame to see such a beautiful building being neglected in this way. The service felt more like a B&B than a hotel, for example, reception closes at 8pm. The best thing was the full English breakfast. Communal areas would benefit from a good tidy, which would improve the overall feel and guest experience. We had a triple room, which was a decent size but in need of some TLC, for example, curtains hanging off rail, shower door on its last legs and didn’t close properly, lock on bathroom door broken and sheets on 2 of the beds looked like they’d been slept on before. There is a decent sized pool but it was cold and didn’t feel clean, you could see a ring round the tiles where the water level had been higher. The hot tub has no water and was very dirty. Sauna not working. Changing rooms dirty, with various things broken and run down. Would benefit from a visit from the hotel inspector.

dirty under beds and in shower, no wardrobe. Double beds too small for 2 people and uncomfortable mattress. breakfast was full English but tasteless but no vegetarian option to replace meat.It felt like we were in the 1960's with cornflakes , mouldy bananas and white bread once the brown loaf was used up.

I stayed during warm (not hot) weather and the room was like a furnace. Had to check in to another hotel as I was getting no sleep.

You get what you pay for - it's a simple room that does the job for a couple of nights. The good: - Really nice and helpful staff who do their best to make your stay as good as it can be - Good breakfast, with a gluten free option - Good transport links into Trowbridge town centre (essentially just down the road) with a bus stop right outside the hotel to go to Trowbridge or Devizes or another bus stop down the road to get to Melksham etc. - Pricing is reasonable for what you get - Room was clean with a good selection of tea/coffee and a small TV with all the channels you'd need. The bad: - Small team of staff means that reception is often unstaffed as they are busy with other tasks around the building. - Breakfast was late on both mornings, despite booking it the day before. This meant that I had to rush to catch my busses. - The building itself is fairly old and in need of some repairs. Loud pipes (especially when someone in the building flushed the toilet), minimal soundproofing (but generally quiet so not that big of a problem), and my room had a window and curtain that wouldn't shut properly. Would consider staying again if the budget didn't allow for a better option.

I'd like to start by saying, for the money, I was very satisfied. After a long drive it felt very welcoming pulling up to a picturesque converted 1800s manor house with plenty of parking in the front garden area. The room itself was spacious and quiet, I opted for the double. The breakfast was freshly prepared and tasty. I didn't get a chance to try out the pool area or bar. Maybe next time! There are some pretty grand communal rooms with impressive carpentry, antique furniture and comfortable seating areas. Unfortunately, the interior of the bedrooms feel as though they were kitted out rather cheaply around 30 to 40 years ago. Handles are falling off doors and the furniture is similar to student accommodation. I wouldn't have minded so much except the bed was like sleeping on a ground mat. I like a firm mattress but this one was solid enough to interrupt my sleep. A bit of a shame given I paid for the double room in the vain hope it would be more comfortable. This was honestly my only problem. Other than that it was a very pleasant stay for great value.

It was very poor, an old tired hotel. Noisy.

Beautiful property. Loved the character of the old mansion and the decor within the home. Check in was pleasant and easy. The TV channel selection was good compared to other places in our travels, which helps with children. Rooms were clean, however there was no soap provided to wash your hands in the room, which was inconvenient. We didn’t have a great sleep as the beds are quite hard, and the pillow cases had a damp towel unfresh scent that was my biggest complaint. Other than that, it was good for the price point and fine for one night.

The single bed had a mattress so soft my back was in agony. The shower stuck on a temperature to blister! Curtains off the rails and leaving gaps middle and ends! An awful hotel!!

No heating in the room. Very thin duvet. So a very cold night. TV signal so poor it was unwatchable.

The hotel building is a old quirky manor house. Staff were lovely and welcoming and explained a lot which was hard to remember but helpful. We were in room 4 which was nice with a balcony and green view over front. Beds were clean and comfy and tv worked but all looked like it needs a bit of TLC But the bathroom needs help. We only stayed one night as we were travelling but didnt want to be in bathroom for long as the fan when light turned on sounded like a helicopter.... it was so loud! Plus again needs TLC and a refresh. Breakfast was yummy and the breakfast room had everything you needed from coffee and tea to juice and fruit. You do need to fill in a breakfast form the day b4 as its run and cooked by one lady on her own as far as we could see. There was no Wifi that either of us could pick up even tho it was advertised. Great price and would stay again but only if it was one night.

Really comfortable bed, telly to small

Run down hotel , the smallest tele in my room never worked and for 4 nights I had nk tele even though I reported it.

Staff very friendly

Nice friendly greeting. Rooms are tired. Quite cold also given Sept. Breakfast times were a little rigid but understood why. Breakfast quality and service was great. Not a bad stay. Reasonable value whilst including breakfast

The checkin time was late. Hotel was closed until 20mins after the 4pm checkin time. Speaking to regulars they say it's quite common. Not impressed. The owner stated the Hotel will be turned into flats in 2026?

Very comfortable. This hotel is set in a very old house with great architecture, so is not modern at all in many ways. However the staff are friendly, the rooms quirky and comfortable, and it has a pool. Breakfast is good, set in a lovely room.

I booked a double room but arrived to find I had been given a twin room.

a few of us were waiting outs in the cold waiting for someone to let us in. nobody answered the phone numbers that were on display on the door. after 30 min we got an answer, only because i texed one of the numers. the beds are pooir you can feel the springs. then the fire alarm went off at 8 am

Lovely hotel with great staff - had to check in late after hours and the team were great at accommodating this!

Staff were great, room was clean and the hotel was beautiful. Incredible value for money but very soft beds

We call the hotel to let them know that we were in our way and that we were going to arrive 8:30. At 8:10 they didn´t bother to answear the phone. Avoid this hotel if your are looking for flexibility and good service.

The welcome was very friendly and the hotel was what was expected. Smallest TV ever in the room, I doubt if they are made that small anymore, limited channels but watchable. Breakfast booked for 8:30 am, arrived in plenty of time and waiter acknowledged we were there for our cooked breakfast. When other guests were getting their breakfast before us I enquired where ours was and got a surprised look and 'I did tell the chef'. Breakfast came at 8:55 and was hot and very good. Apart from that it was a good stay.

This place was in a very old mansion and it was a fun place for a North American not used to this kind of stay. The owners were very nice and the breakfast was very good BUT… it wasn’t very clean at all and I actually wrote “dust me”on the window sill. It would have been bad for anyone suffering from asthma. It was so cold (April) that we had to wear our hoodies in the room. There was only one small bedside light about as bright as a Christmas tree one. We both couldn’t read because there was an extremely dim ceiling light so I sat on my phone all evening which I did out of desperation for something to do. ( It got dark at 8:00 so we wanted to be back before then) It was a fairly short walk to a pub or restaurant but I use a walker so we drove into the town for dinner which meant my husband couldn’t enjoy a pint which we like to do when in England. The main reason we booked here was because they had a pool. Well, we must be psychic because we just knew that would be the case. It seems to be the case in most hotels lol. Sad to say, that we can’t recommend this place at all.

The house is stunning and the staff are so friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was great. Freshly made to order and the chef made us poached eggs even though they weren’t offered on the menu. We were offered use of the swimming pool (but didn’t use it) and the sitting rooms and breakfast rooms make you believe you are living in a castle. The only down side was the bedroom. Although clean and comfortable they are dated and would benefit from a good refresh. We stayed in a twin room and there was one single and one double bed but what we liked (being two female friends) is that they were not head to head but quite separate. The hotel is about 20min walk from the train station. We parked at the hotel early and travelled into bath on the train. Overall I would recommend this hotel.

Large home with rooms, needs updating. The pool looked nice but it was closed. No staff on the premises after 8pm. The house was quiet and we never encountered any other guests until breakfast. Breakfast was good and fresh. Not much going on in Trowbridge.

Although 2 star we had 5 star service. Beds super comfy, the pool delightful after a hot day.. breakfast excellent and easy parking ...

This was a weekend away for the wife's birthday, it was very convenient for day trips, also very good for local places to eat and drink,.

an amazing building in spectacular grounds

Check in was easy & all staff were extremely friendly & helpful . No doubt in it's day , this was an amazing very high end luxury home but is currently in need of a little TLC . The breakfast & dining room need to be seen to be really appreciated & made up for the tired bedroom which I did sleep ok in . Breakfast was cooked to order & was very good . No evening meals but the Codfather fish & chip restaurant is just a few minutes away in town was also really good with great staff .

Firstly the hotel charged me before check-in. The hotel has a reputation of fawlty towers. The whole experience is a joke!! Upon check-in the receptionist mentioned that no one cares anymore about the building falling apart, as its been sold to developers. Breakfast was limited and staying for business, expected an early breakfast.... again no breakfast before 7.30am. Heating does not turn on until 7pm, so expect a cold room on arrival. £250 for 2 nights is a joke. We asked for a suite and got a family room with mould.

Nice friendly greeting. Rooms are tired. Quite cold also given Sept. Breakfast times were a little rigid but understood why. Breakfast quality and service was great. Not a bad stay. Reasonable value whilst including breakfast

This hotel is dated and in need of TLC. The staff are friendly. Breakfast was disappointing as there was little choice with regards to ‘continental’ breakfast and the breakfast room was somewhat cramped

Room was relatively clean but smelt of cigarettes. One of the pillows on the bed was full of wee stains. The service was friendly and welcoming though. However, the breakfast was inconsistent. The first morning breakfast was lovely, the second morning we waited 40 minutes which was fine it wasn’t the wait that was an issue as such, it was the fact there was no juice out, no milk for tea / coffee, there were no clean tables so we just sat down, and the waiter came in and saw all the tables full of used plates and utensils and started to clear them eventually but then left half the stuff on the table, the other tables were also full of stuff, we Also had to ask for things like cutlery for the breakfast. my breakfast was different each day despite ordering the same order each day. There were different items each day and different amounts. on the third day the breakfast was wrong and they’d put things on the plate which I had not ordered. I didn’t complain I just pushed it to the side. In spite of all of this the hotel was okay, I liked the old building and the original features, and the receptionist was very friendly.

When I booked I chose a ground floor room with a double bed. On arrival we were shown to a top floor room with two single beds and was told that was all that was available. The receptionist was informative and helpful, but told us that we needed to go to breakfast at 7.45am at the latest on the Friday and 8.30am on the Saturday. On Friday we went down to breakfast at 7.30 to find that the water for the tea was cold and there was no bread for toast. eventually we got hot water and bread and had to wait 45 minutes for our cooked breakfast, I say cooked but the mushrooms were actually raw! On Saturday, we went to the dining room at 8.30 am, but it was full. The chef told us to wait in the small lounge, near the dining room. After waiting about ten minutes and looking at the filthy carpet that is in there, we went back to see if there was room in the dining room but there wasn't. A female staff member saw us and suggested that we have breakfast in the large dining room that we had been told was not being used. I said that as I did not want to walk between dining rooms with my cereal, toast tea etc, We would wait for a table in the dining room where everything was. We were told to come back in 30 minutes. We returned in 30 minutes and when we finally received our cooked breakfast it was very nice. Just after we arrived on Thursday, I made a cup of tea in our room, The teaspoon was filthy and looked like someone had been eating tomato soup with it. It was disgusting.

The welcome was very friendly and the hotel was what was expected. Smallest TV ever in the room, I doubt if they are made that small anymore, limited channels but watchable. Breakfast booked for 8:30 am, arrived in plenty of time and waiter acknowledged we were there for our cooked breakfast. When other guests were getting their breakfast before us I enquired where ours was and got a surprised look and 'I did tell the chef'. Breakfast came at 8:55 and was hot and very good. Apart from that it was a good stay.

The property is a wonderful grade II listed building with oodles of character. The breakfast room is exquisitely decorated with busts of famous peots in which you can eat a sumptuous cooked full english breakfast. The property is wonderfully peaceful and the beds as beautifully soft and comfortable. If you are looking for a modern sparse hotel then this is not it, and you should look elsewhere. If you like a wonderful property with bags of history to it then you are in luck!
