The Wiltshire hasn't gone downhill in the last two years, it's fallen off a cliff. It's always been in need of modernisation, but this stay it felt dilapidated. Holes in carpets, creaking floors, clunky doors and missing paint/wallpaper. But the main problem was the service. The staff were friendly, but the hotel is clearly not being run by professionals who know how to run a hotel. I called up a week before to ensure we had cots in the rooms for our baby and toddler, but they weren't in the rooms when we arrived. It was late so I asked if we could have them ASAP. 15 minutes later and when I went down to check, the staff that I'd asked were just chatting in reception. Breakfast was a joke! No bread, no coffee, no tea, just kids breakfast cereal boxes. We had to order the food specifically... And they didn't even get the order correct. When we wanted to take our kids to the pool (which was the main reason we stayed there) they told us children weren't allowed until 10am (it was 9am). We dug our heels in and eventually we were allowed in. The pool is big, and there was only 1 other person in the pool, who seemed perfectly happy letting a family enjoy the pool.
We won't be staying again.
