Business Trip

Stayed 1night for a business trip, have stayed several times so knew what to expect..opted for a deluxe room but didnt see any difference from a standard room..the room was very small but perfectly formed, had an excellent nights sleep. Lady on reception at check in was lovely despite being very busy, and helped me out with no fuss when i locked myself out of my room. Will stay again next time im in Newbury.

Mostly all good …

It is an ideal spot. We went to the races at Newbury. The room was comfortable and clean. The food was excellent. The main issue was staffing, there were simply not enough. Apparently 2 of their bar / restaurant staff called in sick. It was chaos and very slow. Sophie (duty manager) did her best and was excellent, but it was an uphill struggle with the rooms, bar and restaurant all full !!

Lovely little coach inn with great staff

The staff and the Haire and Hounds absolutely made our stay. At check in Max was personable and friendly, helping us check in quickly and efficiently. Bar and service staff were attentive and made us feel very welcome. The cleanliness of the rooms were exemplary and the beds were very comfortable indeed.

Lovely stay,

Lovely stay, with unexpected extras, like the sloe gin sample in the room, coffee machine & kettle, pillow mist & lovely toiletries - some really lovely touches - room styling was very bespoke, with quality décor, styling & was very well presented. Service levels do need improvement however, with the need for additional hospitality staff training & attentiveness, whilst not forgetting previous table service requests - the restaurant was only 1/3 full, but the staff looked very overrun. I thought menu choices for dinner were good and the pricing was fair. Our orders/requests for water/ drinks though, were forgotten about at least 3 times. The waitress commented to us that I would need to go to the bar to get my drink as they were exceptionally busy, whilst I waited the 8-9 minutes at the bar, my food had already been brought to the table, so when I returned is wasn't very hot.. Breakfast choices were good, although the 3 times I went for juice/glass, there were none avail & no fruit juice & wasn't replenished during the sitting. I would love to return again, but some little disappointments - which could easily be improved on, without too much effort. Thank you.

The room was advertised as soundproofed but we could hear someone coughing next door all night and foot steps upstairs. Attention to detail was lacking with the cleaning as there were large cobwebs. There was a 'have a drink on us' sign next to a decanter but so little in the decanter it looked like dregs. The food in the restaurant was presented nicely but lacking in flavour and very expensive. I had the fishcake for dinner which is a fishcake approx 2 inches in diameter with a poached egg and some sauce with no sides for £16.95!! We shared a dessert and although small we couldn't finish it between us as it was so sugary This hotel and restaurant doesn't deliver to the standard advertised.

Lovely hotel, staff and the rooms are decorated very well. Only downfall was the breakfast…the restaurant when I came down at 8:30am was a mess, barely a clean table, almost every table had plates with left over food…. The breakfast itself I am sure was precious days food warmed up. This is shame as I’ve had lunch there before and it was really good…. Perhaps there was a staffing issue, I don’t know. I’d still come back, however fresh breakfast next time please.

Lovely rooms at a great price and reception are very helpful. Mildly disappointed with the food and drinks, very expensive for what it was and the staff in the restaurant don’t seem very organised. Also, adding the tip automatically to the bill for a table of two is a step too far for me, we aren’t in the USA, let’s not start pretending that we are. If you pay your waiting staff industry leading wages and then allow customers to leave tips for truly exceptional service instead of expecting customer to top up salaries on behalf of the business that would be a much better proposition for customers and drive better service (and yes I’m aware we can have the tip removed from the bill but that’s not the point here).

One hour drive from Heathrow - good place to stay

Brief overnight stay only,having stayed here nearly a year before on our travels,suited our purposes.to return. Room nbr1 was clean and tidy,good facilities,is obviously a popular place on both stays-January and December -as dining and bar areas full. Room was on front next to main road,earplugs provided if needed due to traffic,previous stay was quieter in carpark area accommodation Easy access from M4
