Free car park and smallish Thyme Restaurant. We used the evening meal and cooked breakfast deal which is always good value. Located close to a Tesco petrol station and retail park including popular brands like, TK Maxx, Mountain Warehouse, Boots etc within a 5 minute walking distance. Would recommend.
Very helpful on arrival and during stay. Location was quiet and room was clean and tidy on arrival. This is one of my favourite places to stay when visiting family.
A great and comfortable Premier Inn, the foodwasnt so good on our visit but there are plenty of pubs and restaurants minutes away. A very pleasant stay
Stayed over three nights. Free car parking just ensure you pop your car registration and the tablet at reception. Room was clean and suitable for the price I paid. Plenty of tea and coffee available at reception should you run out in your room. My only issue was The limescale in the kettle. This does need cleaning as I ended up with sediments in my drink. Downfalls of this hotel are the staff are rushed off their feet. They do reception, waiting on, bar work, essentially everything. I felt sorry for them as you could tell on their faces that they were not happy. We ate breakfast on two of the mornings. I did feel it wasn’t worth the money. Everything is just cheap. First morning they didn’t put the buffet on as there was not enough customers staying in the hotel. So you ordered what you wanted and this was prepared for you. This actually was the better out of the two mornings as the food was fresher. The second morning was the buffet, but the food had obviously been there awhile and was very dried out. On our first evening we ate in the restaurant. This was our biggest mistake. It is just cheap food and we had to ask for some of our food to be replaced as it was very overcooked. Overall, I have given this hotel of 4 out of 5 stars. It is ideal if you are wanting a comfortable bed for the night and a base for your travels. I wouldn’t advise eating in the restaurant. There was a pub only two minutes away which we ate in and it was fabulous.
Visited for breakfast which was very good. Service was good too. The only downside was being charged the overnight rate for parking. As the hotel is out of town on a retail park, I honestly can't see the reason for charging at all.
I will sing praise to anyone about the ladies who work here. They looked after us, we had excellent customer service. Thank you to Tammi who helped us with our flat tyre situation, she had a horrible day but was still smiling. Room was clean and quiet, food was good. We appreciated all your help!
a regular monthly stay over with easy access to my college in Abingdon. consistent high quality expected of a Premier Inn but the unique aspect of this one in Newbury is that it's nestled inside some bushes and has its own private open field, the perfect setting for a nice drink and snack in the setting sun-- feels like you're in the country. breakfast staff Jane, Michelle, Charley and Jess are amazing-- genuine and pleasant
Nice quiet area with retail park within 5 minute walk and Tesco supermarket next door. We checked in around midnight which went smoothly although had to pay for parking when putting reg plate in. We had a good nights sleep and it was surprisingly peaceful despite it being next to a busy road
Surrounded by trees, this low-key hotel off the A339 road is 9 miles from Bucklebury Farm & Deer Safari Park, and 6 miles from Highclere Castle, the setting of the period drama Downton Abbey.
Curated spots travelers usually pair with a stay in United Kingdom. Distances are rough real-world times, not straight-line.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
