Fantastic Hotel
We love this hotel, have stayed here x4. We had a ground floor room which was spacious & clean, very comfortable bed with lovely bedding. The bathroom and shower had all you needed and the apartment was well equipped. Fantastic breakfast and fantastic food with happy friendly staff. We visit family in the area and will choose this hotel each time we come. Super location! Super vacation! Super happy! Highly recommend. Thankyou!

Good value.
Good value for the price. Exceptionally clean.Large spacious room, very comfotable bed. I requested a ground floor room; I was told it would open onto the car park which is in a secure off-street courtyard, but that was actually very convenient for me. Good breakfast. Centrally located in Newbury.

Great location as it is at the top of the main shopping street. Staff were friendly, breakfast was great, plenty of free parking on site and easy to get to and from the main A34 dual carriageway. Tea and coffee facilities in the room are great, a small thing but it made a big difference.
