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!

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.

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.

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.

I was very nervous because it was my first overseas trip in a long time, but the staff were very kind and treated me and my son well. I stayed here to go to Highclere Castle, and they arranged a taxi for us, which was very helpful. I would definitely like to stay here again when I visit Newbury. Thank you very much.
