About The Jolly Tar
A solid, traditional-feeling building on Queens Road, The Jolly Tar has the air of a long-established town hotel rather than a modern chain block. It sits within easy reach of Swindon's local attractions and transport links, making it a practical base whether you're passing through or staying a while.
Rooms come with air conditioning, and guests have use of a lift, so access throughout the building is straightforward. Breakfast is served on site, and there's a restaurant and bar for evening meals and drinks. Free WiFi is available throughout, and those arriving by car benefit from free on-site parking, with airport transfers also on offer for onward travel.
Beyond the rooms, the hotel has a garden for guests who want a bit of outdoor space, along with meeting rooms and wedding facilities for those hosting events. Porter and concierge services add a further layer of convenience, and luggage storage is on hand for early arrivals or late departures. It's a straightforward, well-equipped stop in Swindon.

My daughter and I popped in to the Jolly Tar for a quick drink while doing the circular walk from highworth. We have never been made to feel so unwelcome in a pub. It’s been many years since I’ve been there and it will be many years until I go again!
