    The shower and lack of toiletry selection. The courtyard could do with a bit of a tidy up.

    The room was very good, overlooking the little river that flowed by, although the toiletries were minimal (one shower gel tube for all washing including handsoap) and the shower size was reduced by a curtain. Breakfast was adequate and dinner (not included in price) was good. Bar prices were very good. Dog facilities were very good and our dogs were welcomd by staff and fellow guests

    Lovely place, with a nice comfy room, a nicely furnished, stylish bathroom, and a great welcoming staff. I was travelling on my bike and they allowed me to store it inside for the night. I went to the restaurant for dinner and food was good and affordable too. Absolutely recommended.

    The room was very tired. No light bulb in bathroom. Tatty wood work. Shower soap and hand soap replacements not put in the locks old empty ones in the locked positions. Sheets appeared stained but clean As we had been in this room 9 months ago it had gone down hill badly. Needs maintenance.

    Did not use

    Place needed a bit of TLC . The bar needed a clean up after a busy afternoon. The balcony and outside stairs to the room were very mossy. On arrival the staff member did not understand me and had very little English so told us we didn’t have a booking. Did not seem to be much at location but arrived late Acton a Bank Holiday so town was closed.

    The room was well decorated and comfortable. It had everything needed for a night’s stay. The pub had reasonably pricyfood for an evening meal and breakfast. Good storage for bikes. Mostly the staff were really good like the man in charge and the young man serving in the evening.

    Our room which had high ceilings in some places did have cobwebs, especially a very large one in the bathroom, and the back of the toilet obviously had replaced cisten why not use grey grouting like the rest of the room, something so simple spoiled such a beautiful bathroom.

    The staff, everyone was so friendly and helpful, special mention to the lady who checked us in and was there at breakfast, sorry I can’t remember her name, lovely building and location.

    Everything was ok without being better than that. Food ok but often gaps at breakfast not filled till asked. Ran out of butter! Shower ceiling in room falling in. As said most things ok but not the attention to detail that made it special in anyway.

    Breakfast Had to choose traditional because there was not enough fruit or pastries. Definitely not what is advertised. Banana had seen its better days, not enough hot water etc, staff acted quick but a little disappointed in the breakfast, I didn't want a big breakfast but had no choice

    The room was lovely and warm,

    Heating wasn't on when we arrived, on a very cold and wet day. This was sorted out. One of the rooms booked was noisy at night...not sure what caused the noise but it was investigated. Otherwise we all had a lovely stay.

    Service was excellent, especially from Karina. She had a few problems to sort out for 2 of the group of 9. Food was excellent and hotel facilities were great.

    Our room was above the main function room & it was difficult with the music playing.

    Breakfast was nice, a good choice. Location was ideal as we caught the train into Newbury.

    This may not be a problem for most people but found the traditional breakfast a little to big.

    Excellent choice for breakfast order off the menu and also could use the buffet, cereal fruit yoghurt etc. Good choice for dinner and reasonably priced. Able to have a table on both nights of our stay. Plenty of parking spaces.
