Find the Best Newbury Hotels

We enjoyed The Lodge, it is a very different location and feel. Based next door to the Premium racecourse at Newbury with the jockeys medical room and the various management offices including the stewards and Jockey club, and the empty stables. Opposite us was a couple of very impressive stands, and very upmarket hospitality suites. In spite of this we had a very quiet nights sleep. Our room was warm - there is no aircon. The room is just very user friendly and has a bathroom with shower, but the double bed is large and comfortable. Good breakfast and extremely helpful front desk staff.

Stayed here Friday and Saturday night for Newbury races so very convenient being 2 miles from racecourse and right in town for the evenings. We also chose the hotel for breakfast and free parking- no complaints. Breakfast ran until 10am. The room was spacious and clean although outdated but it was good enough for our stay. We had a rubbish first night sleep as we were on the Oxford road side and the car sounds feel non stop, also closing of the pubs time is very noisy. We were then woken up very early by the light, the curtains don’t even cover the windows. They need double glazing and blinds! Pretty similar second night sleep so was looking forward to coming home to my own bed which is a shame. The floor was so creaky we were woken up numerous times by other people in the building especially from upstairs. The bathroom door had to be slammed to close so that would of been heard by neighbours. Our room was not serviced on the Saturday although we placed the sign on the door and cleaners were on the level as we left. We were out from the morning for over 7 hours. This was a shame as would of liked water and tea/milk replenished and clean mugs. Check out the red lion pub for some Mexican food, it’s unreal and unexpected! 5 min walk.

In order to take the children to the nearby school for an interview, stayed for one night, so there is not much demand for the hotel. The facilities in the room are general, the beds are put together, not very comfortable, the health is OK, the breakfast is too poor, the overall feeling is not acceptable for the holiday! The decoration at the front desk is ok, warm and elegant!

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! :(

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.

The price is right, the hotel is in the resort area, and the environment is super beautiful.
