Great location and nice beer garden. Perfect for the lovely weather the weekend we were there. Friendly helpful staff. Good atmosphere in the bar and restaurant and we had fish and chips and it was very nice. Good continental breakfast included with good choice. Comfortable room facing the front but can be a bit of noise from the traffic. We would have liked some more storage but everything else was good. Free parking in the car park at the back but you must register your car at the bar or you will pay a fine. We would definitely stay again next time in Newbury.

I stayed overnight during a horse-racing weekend. Nice room and lovely bed. Very handy for local food and entertainment. No noise from pub downstairs. I was greeted warmly on arrival and experienced a hassle-free departure. I enjoyed my stay.

A friendly and well organised stay. The Garden Room was perfect for our family get together of 35 people (including children) and the food exceeded expectations. Staff were very accommodating and flexible with arrangements for the room and also the timing of food delivery - thanks!

Pleasantly surprised with the quality of the room - it was spacious, with a very comfy bed, really good heating and plenty of tea and coffee on offer. The bathroom was good quality with a lovely bath. We also really enjoyed the continental breakfast on offer, which was very much a help yourself model but with plenty of options available. The location is fantastic for walking around Newbury.

The manager in here is disgraceful, he would not stop harassing me and my friends, and was telling us that the pub shuts at 10 even though it was 12. Overall the way we were treated today was indescribably poor, and I would not recommend it to anyone.

Good location near railway station and nicely renovated, clean room. Staff were friendly and accommodating and meal menu looked appetizing. Breakfast was self service continental but was there was plenty of choice. Agree that there is some noise from the pub but they have a happy crowd of regulars and good to see the support from locals. Had a two night stay and can recommend.

Great bed. Room was comfortable and quiet with street view. Good lighting and handy outlets for charging. Ample parking but it took us a while to find the lot. Dinner in the bar was quite good. I had my first Sunday roast! Continental breakfast had ample choices. The staff was very nice. There was a little problem with the billing but they sorted it out. Overall, a good experience. I would recommend.

We were going Racing at Newbury on the Saturday so stayed at the Dolphin on the Friday night. I came down by train which was very convenient as it is within about 400m from the station. Another deciding factor was free parking (my partner drove down later). Although I had been to Newbury racecourse previously this was the first time I'd been to Newbury Town which I found charming, on the Kennet and Avon canal. The main shopping street was a very short walk away with a good selection of shops, bars. The exterior of the Dolphin belied its size as there were bar areas, a large interior dining area and external large garden with all having lovely decor yet still retaining a relaxing ambience. Our room was large with an extremely comfortable bed, clean tiled bathroom with bath and shower. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. A really lovely hotel-pub and would most definitely stay again.
