Small but perfectly formed

I had a nice small room in the hotel, lots of shops in Newbury and lots of places to eat and drink, and a nice stroll to the racecourse.

10/10 Exceptional

We checked in late, and the staff were super friendly and helpful! The food was absolutely delicious, especially the dinners. The pub has such a cozy atmosphere, and the chef and waitress were amazing. Big thanks to the manager too for keeping a table for us without a booking — really appreciated! Overall, a lovely place with great service. We’re so glad we chose to stay here!

2/10 Poor

During my stay, the hotel had recently installed a new keyless card system for the rooms. Unfortunately, this system clearly does not work properly. On two separate occasions, two different guests were able to open my room door using their own cards. One of these incidents happened at 4:30 AM, which was extremely frightening and unacceptable.
