Stayed at the Coat & Bear while visiting Highclere Castle. I had a room with 2 beds and it was very spacious. The staff was very nice and the food at the pub was delicious. The town of Newbury is very nice and walkable and the hotel is only about a 10-15 min walk to the Newbury train station. I would definitely stay here again.

A truly thoughtful stay! The hotel’s attention to detail was evident from the moment I stepped into my room—greeted by a charming handwritten note and a delightful selection of sweet treats It’s the little gestures that make a stay memorable, and this one certainly did. The hospitality was warm, the room was immaculate, and the experience felt genuinely personal. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates those extra touches!

Overall cleanliness, and welcome was very good. The room was cold as air con was left on before arrival. It took awhile to find the car park, no sign posting information to find the parking There shoud be some sort of info regarding the car during booking.It was all very stressful looking for it in a busy town centre with one system's
