Room is massive. We walked in thinking it was going to be a small room but it’s really big, very spacious. The bed is unbelievably comfy. Recommend the stay as it’s a one minute walk from town centre. Service is very good and people there are lovely.

5/5 for everything. Staff was kind and helpful. Restaurant was delicious and offered great promos for food/drink and even had trivia night. Room and facilities are well kept. Won our group over with the heated towel warmers. Absolutely adorable room. Beds were so comfortable. Price and location right in the middle of all sorts of stores, cafes, etc was unbeatable.

Very convenient location and parking. Lovely area in central Newbury which is pedestrianised during the day. Nice hotel rooms sympathetically modernised with character. Staff very very helpful. Only negative was noise after 10 pm of customers in the outside area. They weren’t being rowdy but the sound carried enough to keep us awake.

We booked a 2 night stay but only stopped 1 night due to the general grubbiness of both the room and the rest of the hotel
The mattress was unbelievably uncomfortable and should be thrown away
Breakfast was served luke warm and I could not believe it when I was told you have to pay for tea and coffee extra
The whole experience was awful find somewhere else

Great room out the back of the pub. They have been done really nicely. I was worried about noise as it was a Saturday, but it was actually quiet.
Would definitely recommend.
