Hotels near Hungerford, Hungerford

We have been to this hotel before, but this time we saw a sign saying that swimming will incur £5 pp charge. I was gutted that I was not advised, as the receptionist said this new policy took place 2 weeks ago. BUT, when we went to the pool, the clerk told us that if you booked from a different provider (trip.com etc) you have a complimentary pass to the pool. If only we knew the first day. But really happy overall.

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! :(

We enjoy visiting Marlborough but due to the fact there's not really any hotels ”in town” as such, we haven't previously stayed overnight however fancied a 2 night weekend stopover, found the Kingsbury at No 7 & 8 at a very reasonable price & had a wonderful 2 night break. We arrived around 6pm on a Friday evening, left the car in the centre of High Street whilst we grabbed our bags & following the clear instructions received via e-mail & text, let ourselves into the front entrance & once inside, our wonderful room. I can understand how some people may struggle with this however we were fully aware that we weren't staying in a hotel or B&B & were completely fine. Once we'd dropped our bags, we moved the car to the Car Park behind Waitrose which was inexpensive & only a 5 minute walk away then nipped into the burger restaurant adjacent to claim two free cocktails we obtained due to the booking agent. All-in-all a lovely welcome. We were in Room No 3 in Building 8 & our room was lovely. The bathroom in particular was very nicely furnished & the bed was large & very comfortable. Linens were fantastic, the shower was wonderful, heated towel rail, well-lit throughout & ventilation via two traditional windows. Overall the quality of the accommodation was ideal. Due to the height of the ceilings, there was a little dust here & there & one or two of the fittings were a little on the loose side but generally we were incredibly comfortable with our home for the weekend. We found the breakfast left for us a lovely little touch. Chilled orange juice & milk, a choice of Kelloggs cereal, porridge pots, fresh pastries, two fresh fruit salads & separate oat pots in glass jars. All in all, far too much to eat but it was all very tasty. Due to the fact that the room isn't huge with only one small desk & chair, it's pretty much a breakfast-on-the-go but a great addition to our stay. The location of the property is pretty much perfect. It's just beyond the High Street. We left the windows open during the evening & whilst there was more traffic noise than you'd maybe expect from a small little town, we didn't have any issues sleeping or with noise, even on Saturday morning market day ... the only thing you will be disturbed by will be the church bells but this is hardly something to complain about. We didn't eat in the burger joint as we'd had lunch there previously & fancied something a little more formal but if burgers are your thing, they are really good. We knew parking isn't available so rather than worry about leaving it street-side, we just left it in the car park. If you arrive on a Friday night you only have to pay for Saturday daytime & we moved it to the High Street on Saturday night as Sundays are free. All in all we had a wonderful weekend in Marlborough & will definitely return to the Kingsbury.

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!
