The hotel is an old property with our room in an annex attached to the main building with access via a courtyard. Our large first floor room was comfortable although a touch noisy with road traffic in the morning.

Good weekend stay

Windows of the bedroom are only single glazed so there is a bit of road noise. Bed was comfortable and the bathroom adequate. Staff friendly and welcoming, breakfast very good and evening meals are typical pub grub at pub grub prices. Good size car park.

The staff were all lovely, couldn't offer enough help. The restaurant food in the evening had good choice and what we had was good quality, we enjoyed this, we also ate out in the evening where there was a good choice of different restaurants to choose from. I am not one to complain but our stay was for 4 nights of which our room was only serviced once, we had to use towels provided for all of our stay. Housekeeping needs to be managed as the carpets by the skirting boards were full of dirt, you could see this standing up. Room has net curtains which required washing. I am not picking at this with a microscope, it was obvious. Linen for beds and towels were spotless and looked new. I just think it is attention to the smaller details that need picking up. This hotel is friendly, attractive and comfortable, I would recommend it to my friends and family these smaller issues would not put me off.

I chose this hotel because I was on a business trip in Newbury and closer hotels were over my budget. I didn't need frills, just a place to lay my head for the night as i knew i would be arriving late night. As such, I was not expecting much in terms of facilities as it's a budget hotel. What i wasn't expecting was the room to be dirty. The carpet was full of dust bunnies. I don't even know how that happens, it looked like a weeks worth of rolled up dust or the hoover bag burst, it was all over the room. Because I checked in late reception was closed so I couldn't even change rooms.The smell from the drains was awful and I had to spray my pillow with perfume to try and cover the smell but it didn't work. I couldn't even watch tv because the light attracted these tiny gnats. The bedding did not smell fresh. I had bought my own towel and ended up using it as a bed sheet as I couldn't bear the thought of lying down in someone's bed sweat. Yuck! It was a miserable nights sleep. I seriously contemplated sleeping in my car. I wish I had read the reviews a little more carefully as I have since seen others complain of exactly the same things. What a shame this could really be a nice place if they sort the smell and cleanliness

The staff are very helpful and pleasant, due to the cooler weather could have done with some heat in the rooms. Unfortunately our towel rail didn’t work which meant replacing the towels because no way to get them dry. The extractor fan didn’t work either both reported to staff, One other little niggle there are signs to hang on the doors on whether you want your room tidied up but nowhere on the outside of the door too hang them. If there was it might save chambermaids going into each room when it wasn’t really required.
