The property was once a lovely place to stay, as have stayed in the past... This time it was dirty, had to ask for extra towels and glasses, also had to ask for toilet roll, and asked for more coffee and tea as only x2 on arrival in room.... Asking staff for anything took at least an hour to receive.... Could do with staff who care about there jobs and where they work.

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.

Whole building is on a bit of slant which makes moving around your room interesting. Restaurant food was not good. Beer was warm. Hamburger was tasteless. Pancakes were hard to cut.

Extremely disappointed with the room, it was of a very low standard, it was nothing like the room advertised. The standard of cleanliness in the room was way below an acceptable standard and was nothing like the room you advertised. When we booked this room we booked it in good faith expecting to stay in a clean lovely room as advertised by you.

Pleasant Hotel, thou our room was in the converted barn, hence water damage to the exterior door and wall. When entering room you had to walk through puddles to enter.

Room is massive. We walked in thinking it was going to be a small room but it’s really big, very spacious. The bed is unbelievably comfy. Recommend the stay as it’s a one minute walk from town centre. Service is very good and people there are lovely.

5/5 for everything. Staff was kind and helpful. Restaurant was delicious and offered great promos for food/drink and even had trivia night. Room and facilities are well kept. Won our group over with the heated towel warmers. Absolutely adorable room. Beds were so comfortable. Price and location right in the middle of all sorts of stores, cafes, etc was unbeatable.

We booked a 2 night stay but only stopped 1 night due to the general grubbiness of both the room and the rest of the hotel The mattress was unbelievably uncomfortable and should be thrown away Breakfast was served luke warm and I could not believe it when I was told you have to pay for tea and coffee extra The whole experience was awful find somewhere else

Great room out the back of the pub. They have been done really nicely. I was worried about noise as it was a Saturday, but it was actually quiet. Would definitely recommend.
