10/10 Exceptional

We checked in late, and the staff were super friendly and helpful! The food was absolutely delicious, especially the dinners. The pub has such a cozy atmosphere, and the chef and waitress were amazing. Big thanks to the manager too for keeping a table for us without a booking — really appreciated! Overall, a lovely place with great service. We’re so glad we chose to stay here!

I had a nice small room in the hotel, lots of shops in Newbury and lots of places to eat and drink, and a nice stroll to the racecourse.

Comfortable and quiet, great food!

I'd booked in error date wise and despite having to change literally on the day i was supposed to be checking in, i still got a very nice room comfirmed very quickly, 2 nights of quiet comfort in the out building rooms.

8/10 Very good

Good location in Newbury.

In an excellent location on the Market Place in Newbury. Ideally placed for visiting the canal and the town centre. The room was in a converted block at the back of the hotel and was comfortable and spacious. Breakfast was cooked to order and very good. Staff were friendly and helpful. There is secure parking at the back of the hotel.
Iain, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

In general, ok, but the room is small and our window shade broke trying to close it and there was no one around to fix it, even at around 8:00pm. The location is very good.
Barry Hale, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Location is convient for walking to many shops. The WFi sign in app is not user friendly. Hint, to specify the year of your birth you touch the present year (2025) and only then will other earlier years appear for selection.

Great little place un centre of town
Douglas, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

It was great that it had free parking, the room was nice and the bed was very comfortable. Ideal positioned for the shops and pubs, it looked a bit tired in places and some damp and water staining on some of the walls, but not in our room.
