Slap bang in the centre of Newbury, with its own car park. Pub and food downstairs. No noise from the Pub and a very comfortable bed to boot.

Carl United Kingdom

Very clean. Staff helpful. Good food in the bar too and nice outside spaces

Alex United Kingdom

We stayed here for a night when attending a wedding nearby. It was the cheapest in the area, but had great reviews so we decided to book. Very happy we did! ComfortaBle, big rooms. Friendly staff. Nice bathroom. And the food in the bar is really great - we went for dinner downstairs.

Rosanna United Kingdom

Great reception by Kata and her staff. The evening meal (steak) was excellent. Would definitely stay there again. Well organised and controlled corona virus management.

Mick United Kingdom

Fantastic stay in a lovely location. Very friendly and helpful staff with high levels of hygiene. We would definitely stay there again.

Mark United Kingdom

Very clean and friendly staff. Very good location and excellent beer garden with large car park.

Kevin United Kingdom

Bit of an odd time to stay as in the middle of the Covid pandemic. No breakfast offered because it is usually buffet, so this is totally understandable. Ate there in the evening though and nice choice in the menu and tasty food. Staff really great and nice atmosphere. Room I stayed in was clean, had everything I needed and had a nice bit of character (the building is pretty old and some nice features have been retained).

Michael United Kingdom

Lovely helpful staff, super clean,lovely room and bathroom,good parking

Richard United Kingdom

Great welcome by the host, spacious room and cosy bed. Nice beer garden and pub downstairs too

Priya United Kingdom

Location is excellent, near to shop, bars and clubs.

Hayley United Kingdom

Excellent location!
