Hotel a 3 stelle a Thatcham

Lovely welcoming pub on the outskirts of Newbury! The staff were very welcoming and were all smiling throughout my short stop! I have to commend Charlie, Hayley & Kieran on looking after me and my son! I recommend HIGHLY the COWBOY BURGER! It was a really tasty experience for a classic cheese and bacon burger but something about it just made it closer to 5 guys experience rather than your average pub burger! Served quickly and it was all hot (as it should be!) Atmosphere was homely away from home, with locals sharing stories about the history of the place and everything! My only downside was the hot water in the gent’s toilet wasn’t working, and given the weather conditions at the time it was a rather chilly experience! Will be coming back next time in town for sure!

My friend and I stayed here during our visit to Highclere Castle. THE ROOM: The room was great. Beautifully decorated and very cozy. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was nice. Our room was on the ground floor, and we didn’t hear any noise from other rooms. The downside was that the room was very warm even though we didn’t have the radiator on. We opened the windows while we were in the room, but it didn’t cool down that much. THE PUB: The pub was nicely decorated, and the food was good. Breakfast was already set up when we came in very early in the morning with a continental selection and we were also able to order off a menu for hot items. In the evenings the pub was cozy, but the music was way too loud. It was at the level it would be if the pub was packed, but there were less than 10 patrons. All in all a great stay, and the location was perfect for our visit to Highclere Castle.
