Great stay with lovely vibes

Had an awesome stay in a cozy cottage-style room! The place was spotless and super comfy. The staff was really friendly, too. We had a great meal with massive portions. Only bummer was the wait to get served. we felt kinda ignored at times. But overall, definitely worth it!

I popped in for a hot chocolate after visiting family, and the manager Lou was so lovely—she even showed me around the quaint place! Must try the homemade pastries next time.

we had a wonderful stay at the carpenters. the standard twin room was spacious, and the furnishings added a lovely charm. breakfast was included, and it was one of the best full english breakfasts we've ever had. the location is perfect for visiting highclere castle, just a short drive away. the staff was exceptionally friendly.

100% recommend

The huge walk-in shower was impressive, and the comfortable room made for a cozy stay.

The cozy atmosphere made for a pleasant stay, though the bathroom cleanliness was an issue.

It was just a nice choice for a brief sojourn in Newbury with fantastic value for money. The breakfast choices were great and generous in portion size. Be sure to confirm the breakfast hours before your stay.

great access to nearby parks and historic landmarks

I had a lovely experience walking to the scenic Sandham Memorial Chapel just a few steps away and enjoyed the playful views from the garden, which gave me a nice spot to relax after my strolls. the staff were super friendly and accommodating, ensuring we felt welcomed throughout our stay.

The charming decor, with its rustic beams and antique furniture, added a delightful touch to our stay, making the ambiance feel like a cozy cottage retreat. The easy access to the lovely garden was a bonus for enjoying the fresh air.

Steeper stairs could be hazardous for seniors.

i recently stayed for one night at a beautiful little pub in newbury. the room was super spacious with a gigantic walk-in shower that was absolutely heavenly. the food exceeded my expectations with fresh breakfast options and a lovely atmosphere for relaxing.

room had a noticeable crack in the window

Charming stay with delicious breakfast

We enjoyed a comfortable night in a cozy standard double room, complete with lovely touches like fresh milk and snacks. The highlight was the breakfast, which featured a great selection including pastries and a hearty full English. The staff were warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. it would have been helpful to know in advance about the lunch service ending early on our arrival.

Ideal spot for a small group getaway

The staff were amazingly helpful, always there when we needed them, very accommodating. After a long day, breakfast the next morning across the car park was just what we needed, delicious and ready when we arrived.

Not the cheapest option, but given the quality, it was still reasonable.

A lovely visit, perfectly located for exploring nearby attractions. The room we stayed in was beautifully decorated with rustic beams and antique furniture, creating a cozy atmosphere. We particularly enjoyed the access to the garden, which added to the charm of our stay. Just a heads up, the stairs to our room were quite steep, which could be tough for anyone with mobility issues.

Beautiful rustic decor adds charm and character.

I was utterly appalled by the state of the bathroom. The shower holder was inadequate, and the floor was soaking wet after every use. The room itself was quaint but disgustingly tired, with stained furniture and cracked windows. It felt like I was staying in a run-down motel rather than a charming hotel. The toilet seat wouldn't even stay up, making for a frustrating experience.

Great breakfast but the heating didn’t work at night. Clean rooms.
