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.

Absolutely lovely place to stay. Staff super helpful. Fantastic value for money! Gorgeous terrace outside which is lit at night and so pretty! Beds comfy and bathroom well appointed. It is noisy, but that is not the hotel's fault. It is in the centre of Newbury and there is traffic. Bit of renovation to be done outside, but I guess they'll raise the prices when this is fixed. Didn't bother me that the paintwork was peeling outside.

I thought the staff were very friendly but the overall condition of the property was very basic. I would not recommend any of my friends to stay.

Disapointed and over priced
Wasn't made aware of possible noise from town, in room info said ear plugs would be provided, they weren't! Sofa bed uncomfortable, main bed was very hard. Issue with water, poor lighting. Staff very laid back, no signage for check in. Expensive for what in was.
