    What a lovely place to stay,The room we stayed in was very comfortable, the shower was brilliant unlike some other places, We had an Evening meal and Breakfast each were lovely. Last of all the staff were lovely and very friendly especially Jade who made sure our room was ready early, thank you for that. For anyone coming to Newbury for the racing or a stay I would definitely recommend this place to come and enjoy

    Visited for Sunday lunch recently and overall was good however service was pretty slow and the portions for the roasts were quite small. 1 slice of meat per portion isn’t what we expected given the prices. It was tasty but wouldn’t rush back for a roast.

    Everything is to a very high standard here, rooms, food and service. The one thing I would note as a drawback was the size of the bedroom, and shower room and the size of the breakfast (thankfully I was on a cut) normally I'd have 4 times the amount. But there is a continental also with a good selection. I just found myself fighting for a glass both mornings but not for long. I didn't pay full price for my king room so I thought it was great value, but if I had then I would have felt a bit robbed as the stable rooms are for tiny people. 2 of you couldn't share the washroom space. Opt for the bigger room if your staying here they do offer plenty of choice at slightly more money but I think it's worth it. Great selection of wines. Some more Bordeaux options on the menu would be preferable, but the range as it was was excellent. I would recommend and would return. The area doesn't have much in walking distance. Few small fields to take your dogs but short drive to highclere castle and plenty of other woods which are fantastic for your fury friends. And this lovely place does accept dogs. Nearly every other person I saw staying had one.
