Newbury Hotels with Gym

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!

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.

We were looking for a spa hotel full board. The reviews for the hotel appeared good. It is not a cheap stay so we expected the best. Generally the stay was great and the spa was very nice except you had to book your 2 hour slot. The meals we good and the service was excellent. Problem was it was only two average size plates of food and anything extra was charged for even bread at £6. I ordered a GnT it was £17 plus a service charge so was in excess of £19. A bit OTT. The room was spacious although very tired. The patio outside had two chairs and a table but the floor was covered in bird poop. The bed base cover was torn and there was no extract in the bathroom. The room definitely needed updating. On receiving our bill by email we noted we were charged over £40 service charge for our dinners. First for us. Would we return - no. The following night we stayed near our family and were in a Young's hotel adjoining there pub in Chertsey. Value for money it was exceptional. A great room with everything one would need an a breakfast with proper coffee and cocktails included all for £125 for 2. Unfortunately no 2 hour spa. Dinner for two £50+. Highly recommend.

Had a lovely lunch at Donnington Valley Hotel on 14th May. Can highly recommend the Burrata, Plum Tomato Salad, Basil, Breads sharing starter The roast beef was lovely (although my husbands was very fatty, but I think that’s just the luck of the drawer with how the meat is served) there were plenty of fresh seasonal vegetables, that came in a separate bowl and steaming hot which was great. Dessert was amazing, highly recommend the Lemon Tart and raspberry sorbet, it was delicious. Waiting staff were super attentive. Thank you very much.
