Hotels Near Maxted Farms in Newbury

I stayed in room No. 5, The Jack of Newbury for 2 nights in December. The night before and night of my wedding. The room is a studio with a gorgeous deep copper bath in the room. The hotel and restaurant/pub itself is stunning. It felt so clean, modern with a country/vintage style decor. It was beautiful. It definitely has been refurbished to a very high standard with a fantastic interior designer. The room felt very luxurious. However, there were a couple of items missing which impacted on my stay and may be why the hotel has not yet reached 5 stars, particularly as I was getting ready for my wedding. I mentioned at the time of booking and before my stay that this was a wedding booking, however there was no full length mirror in the room at all. Luckily the room next door was vacant and the door was open so I was able to pop in and out to check my wedding dress etc. but really, every single room in the hotel should have a full length mirror, that’s just basic really. I did ask reception if they could provide one or help in some way and they said they’d look into it but I never heard back. I was just thankful the room next door was empty otherwise I’d be turning up to my wedding without knowing what I looked like! I was also situated on the highest floor and getting down the very narrow and steep stairs in my dress was a scary challenge!! In the bathroom of my room, there was no towel radiator or toilet roll holder. The thermostat was also tricky to navigate and myself and neighbour on the first night both had to sleep with the windows open as the room was so hot but as I was on a main road the room was extremely loud so my sleep over all was not fantastic but in all fairness to the hotel my nerves and excitement also contributed to the lack of sleep. These are all things which hopefully can be easily rectified to improve stays in the future, The breakfast and dinner at the Hare & Hounds was delicious and all of the waiting staff were so friendly and helpful. Although, worth noting that I did request my breakfast to come without sausages but my plate came out with sausages- although this was not a massive issue to me so I decided not to make a comment on this on the day as not the end of the world but worth making a note of on here. Overall, a gorgeous hotel/pub/restaurant and if these issues were fixed/improved/made good, I would love to return again in the future. The missing details do let the refurbishment down I’m afraid and the mirror did play a big issue in me getting ready so it is only a 3/5 for me on this occasion! :(

I had a wonderful stay. it has been recently remodeled and has new carpet in the rooms in the bathroom. It’s all nice and new.! The best thing was the staff. The general manager was absolutely amazing so incredibly friendly and all of the front desks staff are amazing! I’ve been staying all over England and this is the first hotel. I decided to ride a review for because the service was so wonderful and the price for such a nicely. Remodeled hotel is wonderful!

I cant thank the staff enough for such a fabulous evening last night….From the moment I spoke to Frankie over the phone to book my work event I had every confidence we were going to be well looked after and I wasn’t wrong. A special mention to Abby, Toni Sophea & Libby for looking after us so well and catering for all of our needs, nothing was too much trouble. We had a set menu with 4 choices of starters, mains and desserts and every dish was immaculately presented and tasted amazing so a huge thank you to Luke the chef for delivering such a high standard of food. Everyone that attended the event couldnt speak highly enough of the food, venue, staff and service we received. I have already been asked if we can book our Christmas work event here and its an absolute yes from me if you will have us back? Thanks again everyone! Felicity X

I’ve knocked one star off because, as some other guests have also mentioned, service in the bar and restaurant can be slow and it did feel like they were perhaps missing a front of house member or two. We didn’t eat other than breakfast as we didn’t fancy the menu but not a problem as there are loads of eateries in Hungerford. The room, in the annexe, was fantastic, far better than we were perhaps expecting as the price was very good. Breakfast was lovely and served speedily!! The staff we interacted with were very nice. Parking is free, and plenty of spaces. All in all a great stay and we will certainly be back.

After driving from the Vendee and catching the latw ferry over choppy seas we stopped at this Travelodge. Veey good value for money. It cost £29. It was clean, the staff were friendly, the bed comfortable. There was a bqth and the usual teamaking facilities. We had been travelling around France with a few stays in this type of accommodation, but this Travelodge was better. Of course it is not a 5 star hotel. That is not its purpose, but we will stay again.

Had a lovely 3 night stay at this lovely inn, would have had four but was fully booked! Was my belated birthday present, though dad said it was for mummy’s birthday! Very welcoming team with a lovely room decorated in a tasteful contemporary style and large en-suite. View over the village pond just added to the quintessential country location. I was even given my own special doggy beer and biscuit. Team couldn’t do enough to help and were very attentive to my every whim, including a sausage for breakfast. Breakfast lovely, albeit mum and dad didn’t go for the larger breakfast given the meals the night before were so large (and of equally high standard). Though at first glance the prices could be seen of the expensive side, I will certainly say it represented good value for money. I’m already pestering mum and dad to take us back!
