Stanton House is a manor-style hotel in parkland near Swindon. Its Cedar Restaurant shares the property's lake and garden views.
Stanton Park's lake creates a greener outlook than the hotel's proximity to Swindon might lead you to expect.
Cedar Restaurant & Bar is inside the hotel, in an open-plan room looking over Stanton Park and Lake. The hotel describes its menu as modern British; on warmer days, its outdoor patio extends the dining experience. This is an easy overnight pairing for guests who would rather stay beside the park after dinner.
Cedar Restaurant & Bar faces the park and lake, so a daylight or early-evening table makes more of the view. Its modern British menu suits a conventional dinner, while the patio changes the atmosphere when weather permits. Check the current menu and opening hours before setting the room booking, and ask whether any dinner offer is restricted to a particular menu.
Rooms are spacious and vary in type, with some suites suited to a special occasion. Compare the exact room features and breakfast inclusion when booking. A park-facing outlook is part of the appeal, so check the category if that matters to you.
Rooms and suites differ in space, and a park-facing room is worth selecting explicitly if the landscape is central to your break. Compare breakfast inclusion and room amenities rather than assuming a suite automatically includes dinner. It is a useful base for a one-night Wiltshire stop as well as a longer visit.
Stanton Park and the lake provide a gentle walk before or after a meal. The hotel is a tranquil base for exploring Wiltshire and nearby Cotswold edges, without the facilities of a full spa resort.
A short walk through Stanton Park and around the lake is the obvious way to spend time between check-in and dinner. This is an outdoor, view-led stay without a large spa. Nearby Wiltshire and the edge of the Cotswolds provide options if you have a second day.
Based on one night's accommodation and breakfast for two, plus dinner for two. The dinner menu or number of courses is shown below where known.
