About The Highworth Hotel
Westrop is the old high street of Highworth, a small town on the edge of Swindon, and it's here that The Highworth Hotel occupies its spot among the town's period buildings. With just 10 rooms, it has the feel of a small, personal establishment rather than a large hotel, and it comes with a garden for guests who want to sit outside.
The kitchen is arguably the main draw: the restaurant is well regarded for its afternoon teas, with freshly baked scones, and for a Sunday roast that comes in generous portions. There's a bar on site too, along with breakfast, free WiFi, and meeting rooms for those combining a stay with work. Staff are consistently described as friendly and attentive, and the overall atmosphere is a cosy one. Pets are welcome, and there's luggage storage for those exploring further afield.
Free on-site parking is provided, though some guests have found space limited at busier times. Highworth itself makes a quieter base than central Swindon, with the town's shops and streets within easy reach on foot.
What guests say
The perfect venue for our afternoon tea for the bride to be! We hired a private room to have a nice space to ourselves without having to worry about being too loud either. The room happened to be dressed perfectly for our bridgerton theme and the table setting was stunning. The afternoon tea was delicious with a perfect mix of sweet and savoury (and plenty of tea and coffee!), especially the heart shaped victoria sponge - so yummy. The staff were super friendly and helpful, and despite their concerns of forgetting about us, they were very attentive and ensured things ran smoothly. From booking to the day of, everything was very well organised and I felt I was in capable hands. I definitely recommend the Highworth and it’ll be my first choice for future events!

Another lovely family celebration at The Highworth Hotel. Surprise 60th birthday afternoon tea with family followed by drinks with family and friends. The afternoon tea was delicious. Selection of fresh sandwiches, warm sausage roll, cakes, lemon posset and warm scones with jam and cream 😍 endless tea and coffee. As always the team were great, anything to make the celebration go off smoothly. One of my most favourite venues. Service is great. Lovely surroundings. Great atmosphere. Thank you so much to everyone involved, you are amazing 👏 😍🤩

I booked an afternoon tea session at The Highworth Hotel and it a really pleasant experience. The food was delicious, they catered to our dietary requirements (vegetarian), the scones were freshly made and the selection of savoury and sweet treats were tasty. The service from the staff was really lovely, so attentive and friendly and the hotel itself was beautiful and really cosy. Overall really enjoyed the experience, food and drinks and will definitely be back.

Stayed at the Highworth this last week while on a work trip. All the staff (sorry, didn't get anyone's name!) were lovely, chatty and happy to give recommendations for things to do around the town. The room I stayed in was large and comfortable and I was able to get good sleep every night. The cooked breakfast was delicious as was the hotel restaurant food in the evening. Would highly recommend the grill night on Thursdays! Would happily stay here every time I'm in the area and will hopefully be back in the future!
