Very creaky bed (it woke me up when I turned over in my sleep). Very feeble shower Overall these were minor niggles on a... More

Quite hard to find but well worth the effort. Not far from the M4 and nicely hidden away in quiet countryside. Excellent individual en-suite rooms with different themes. Good quiet nights sleep. The restaurant and breakfast are both top class by anyones standard, and not to be missed. Just as well really, as there is nothing else nearby! Access to... More

Spotted the advertisement in a magazine in the dentist's waiting room and felt it would be a perfect way to spend an 80th birthday. The hot tub on arrival was an unusual start for a couple of golden oldies but we simply loved it! Our room (Bora Bora) reminded us of bygone travels in the orient minus the insects. The... More

I had booked the hotel on recommendation form a friend. We were not disappointed! The whole ambience and friendliness of the staff was very good. It was very special to be able to return to our room after dinner and share a glass of champagne in the hot tub. We stayed in the Cipriani room and the only very slight... More

Crab difficult to find without Satnav but well worth the effort. Food excellent, room striking but could have done with steps for shorter guests like my wife to get into the 4-poster bed! Came on a Friday Night Deluxe Package....superb value for A La Carte meal, wine AND B&B. Will be visiting again hopefully later in the year.

Hake not special, mine half the size of others. Apple Crumble with granola topping, this is a very bad idea - second time this week from restraunts who should know better. Well short of expectation. Surly response from the waiter after removing a glass which was not empty.

We stopped for lunch here on Monday, having looked forward to eating here for years due to rave reviews from friends and colleagues - and perhaps the hype was part of the problem. We were seated quickly on the terrace as the weather was amazing and drinks were brought very swiftly. We had a bit of a wait for the... More

Great hotel, stayed in the Chiva som room with the hot tub. Nice and clean and brilliant breakfast will be returning in August as the hotel has good access to Newbury races. We siding have an evening meal although I'm sure it would have been nice. Parking was fine and its straight off the m4. There is a sainsburys near.
