Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with useful amenities like a trouser press and iron. The bar staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. The location is convenient for visiting relatives and shopping in Newbury. The dining options, including freshly made sandwiches, are varied and good value. Overall, the facilities are well-maintained, and the hotel offers a mix of positive and negative aspects.
The hotel is set in a peaceful location with nice forest walks nearby; however, the decor seems a bit tired and dingy. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped for the price paid, offering amenities like an iron, hairdryer, and fridge. The staff are welcoming and helpful despite challenges with staffing and menu issues. The dining experience is decent with fresh, seasonal products, although there is an additional fee for breakfast.
The hotel has clean and comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and a great location. However, the dining experience could be improved with more options. The value for money is decent, but there are noise issues and maintenance concerns.
