I chose this hotel because I was on a business trip in Newbury and closer hotels were over my budget. I didn't need frills, just a place to lay my head for the night as i knew i would be arriving late night. As such, I was not expecting much in terms of facilities as it's a budget hotel. What i wasn't expecting was the room to be dirty. The carpet was full of dust bunnies. I don't even know how that happens, it looked like a weeks worth of rolled up dust or the hoover bag burst, it was all over the room. Because I checked in late reception was closed so I couldn't even change rooms.The smell from the drains was awful and I had to spray my pillow with perfume to try and cover the smell but it didn't work. I couldn't even watch tv because the light attracted these tiny gnats. The bedding did not smell fresh. I had bought my own towel and ended up using it as a bed sheet as I couldn't bear the thought of lying down in someone's bed sweat. Yuck! It was a miserable nights sleep. I seriously contemplated sleeping in my car. I wish I had read the reviews a little more carefully as I have since seen others complain of exactly the same things. What a shame this could really be a nice place if they sort the smell and cleanliness

It is a very nice historic property with a great location, and not too expensive. I have not used the dining room, just needed a place to overnight within walking distance of station.

Lovely hotel with helpful staff. I stayed in room 8 which was huge with a lovely roll top bath and rain shower. Good food for the evening meal and breakfast and friendly helpful staff.

Good stay, reasonably priced and very convenient for cycling along the canal nearby. They have good bike storage. One small recommendation for improvement; if a curtain could be placed over the entrance to the room, to block out the electric light from the courtyard at night.
