Comfortable king-size bed, but limited storage space for luggage was an issue.

Late breakfast service until 11:30 AM gave us extra time to relax.

The fire alarm disrupted our sleep at 4 AM, though it was not the hotel's fault.

The huge, comfortable bed made our stay delightful, complemented by the pleasant and helpful staff. Sitting outside the town at the racecourse ensured a peaceful atmosphere. Breakfast had a fantastic selection, from cooked dishes to biscuits. everything was delicious. the room felt a bit cramped due to the large bed, which might not suit everyone’s taste.

I really enjoyed my stay, especially the comfortable standard double room and the hearty breakfast that was a great start to the day. the bathroom could use better upkeep, as it felt a bit tired.

Just a suitable option for a brief sojourn in Newbury with incredible value for money. The staff were really helpful when the coffee machine malfunctioned, which made mornings much easier. Consider bringing your own toiletries since there were empty soap dispensers upon arrival.

great food and comfy stay

Had a decent one-night stay. The room was cozy but pretty tight. Staff were super friendly, and I loved the pizza I got from the lounge menu. Breakfast was fine, just not spectacular. Just a heads up—the showers are pretty small, not meant for anyone larger. it's alright if you're okay with small spaces.

The hotel has a great location near the racecourse and a spacious dining area with excellent breakfast options. the rooms felt quite small and a bit worn, and the cleanliness could have been improved. Staff was friendly but the furnishings needed updates.

Totally recommend for a quick layover

Comfortable bed, excellent breakfast, the double bed was huuuge and very comfortable, providing a restful night's sleep after exploring the town.

Entirely satisfied.

The lodge offers great access to health facilities on the racecourse complex. the staff were super friendly, especially in the bar and restaurant areas. our standard double room was clean and cozy—perfect for a short getaway. breakfast was amazing too.

recommend

Proper stunning muffins at breakfast and the staff were friendly while giving a nod to the local racing theme in the room. the spacious dining area with communal tables was a lovely touch for some social banter over brekkie.

I stayed for two nights in a Standard Double Room and had some highs and lows during my time at the lodge. The location really stood out to me, being so close to Newbury Racecourse made it perfect for what I had planned. The charming design of the hotel also caught my eye, giving a nice vibe. I found the room a bit cramped and noticed a layer of dust on some surfaces. During my stay, the staff seemed a bit stretched, handling everything from reception to bar service. They worked hard, but it really felt like the hotel could use a few more hands on deck. Breakfast brought mixed feelings too—good quality food, yet the chaotic staff made it frustrating at times. I noticed some items were microwaved, which didn’t sit well with me for a meal that should feel fresh. I wish there had been a clearer menu, as the young staff seemed uncertain about what was available. it’s a great spot with potential, just needs to iron out some of the kinks.

Enjoyed the comfortable king-size bed and spacious dining area with outdoor seating. Would definitely return!

The location near the racecourse is incredibly convenient and adds to the charm. Staff members were welcoming and provided excellent service throughout my visit. The breakfast, served until late, was a delightful surprise, and the room was comfortable with great sound insulation—a must for a peaceful stay. parking can be a bit limited during busy events, and the room size, while adequate, might feel cramped if you have a lot of luggage.

my stay in newbury was truly delightful. the friendly staff and cozy room exceeded my expectations during the nightlife, making it a memorable experience. i really appreciated the amazing breakfast options that set me up for the day.

exploring newbury's parks and heritage with ease

I had a delightful stay with a cozy big double bed and enjoyed a hearty breakfast before heading out to stroll around Victoria Park, which is just under 2 km away, and take in the charm of the West Berkshire Museum a bit further on, soaking up the local culture and history during my weekend getaway.
