Comfortable and quiet, great food!

I'd booked in error date wise and despite having to change literally on the day i was supposed to be checking in, i still got a very nice room comfirmed very quickly, 2 nights of quiet comfort in the out building rooms.

Good location in Newbury.

In an excellent location on the Market Place in Newbury. Ideally placed for visiting the canal and the town centre. The room was in a converted block at the back of the hotel and was comfortable and spacious. Breakfast was cooked to order and very good. Staff were friendly and helpful. There is secure parking at the back of the hotel.

Not what I expected!

The place was okay, but not what I expected. We booked a deluxe double and it was hardly that! The decoration to the walls haven’t seen a lick of paint in many years and one of the walls had more cracks in it like a dried up reservoir! We booked a full English breakfast for our duration which was very nice. But I have never had to pay for my beverages as an extra as these wasn’t included in the price. Two hot drinks and two orange juice was £13.90 per day. This was more than the breakfast. To be honest this did but a dampener on our stay as I never saw it in the small print, that’s if it’s actually is. I would give the Elephant at the Market 3 out of 10 as the food was very good.

I was very nervous because it was my first overseas trip in a long time, but the staff were very kind and treated me and my son well. I stayed here to go to Highclere Castle, and they arranged a taxi for us, which was very helpful. I would definitely like to stay here again when I visit Newbury. Thank you very much.

4/10 Fair

Needs a full makeover

Booked a deluxe room and don't believe the one we were given was a deluxe room. The room was very shabby! Chipped paintwork and plaster coming off the wall. Only stayed a night so could not be looking for something else. Told the reception on checkout my concerns as assure me the hotel is due for a full makeover. I would check if it has been before booking and make sure it is a deluxe room. A Travelodge would be a better choice until it has. However all that said it is very central and has on site parking so for one night it just ok

Ian, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Whole building is on a bit of slant which makes moving around your room interesting. Restaurant food was not good. Beer was warm. Hamburger was tasteless. Pancakes were hard to cut.
Larry, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Extremely disappointed with the room, it was of a very low standard, it was nothing like the room advertised. The standard of cleanliness in the room was way below an acceptable standard and was nothing like the room you advertised. When we booked this room we booked it in good faith expecting to stay in a clean lovely room as advertised by you.
Steve, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Pleasant Hotel, thou our room was in the converted barn, hence water damage to the exterior door and wall. When entering room you had to walk through puddles to enter.
Denis, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great value room with parking located in central Newbury, friendly staff and lots of dining options, would definitely return.
Andrew, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Highly recommended

Room is massive. We walked in thinking it was going to be a small room but it’s really big, very spacious. The bed is unbelievably comfy. Recommend the stay as it’s a one minute walk from town centre. Service is very good and people there are lovely.

Nice location for a stay in the countryside, close to the train station for an easy day trip to London.

Traditional pub, nice people, good price. Perfect for a one night stay after arriving at Heathrow and heading west.

5/5 for everything. Staff was kind and helpful. Restaurant was delicious and offered great promos for food/drink and even had trivia night. Room and facilities are well kept. Won our group over with the heated towel warmers. Absolutely adorable room. Beds were so comfortable. Price and location right in the middle of all sorts of stores, cafes, etc was unbeatable.
