Guest House at 160 London Road

The place offered plenty of space, an incredibly comfortable bed, and was very convenient for both the town and the racecourse. Even with the windows open and blinds down, the room got incredibly hot (fairly so, it was a heatwave); there was a fan but a stronger one or a second fan would have helped, and a few cushions for the outdoor seats would have been useful.

“Would recommend if going away for a short break”

The accommodation was clean and tidy, had everything needed for a few‑day break, and the owner was on hand and very helpful.

“Convenient location for a short stay in central Newbury, with parking.”

The location was good, with clear instructions for finding where to go, parking, and entering the property. The space was modern, well‑fitted, clean, and the shower was good. The fridge, kettle, toaster, microwave were enough for breakfast or a simple meal, and several supermarkets were five minutes away (Lidl, Tesco, M&S Simply Food: a full range of options!). The large bed was comfortable. Parking space is tight: it’s fine for a small car, but could be a challenge for a big vehicle. The room can get warm in hot weather—use the blinds to shade it! The counter for eating is quite small, and with high chairs it was fine for us, but a lower table might suit some people better (there is a table and chairs outside you can sit at in good weather).

“Cosy”

The place was very cosy, close to the town centre, and not far from Highclere Castle, the main reason we came to Newbury. We didn’t meet the owners in person, but we communicated online and Oli was very helpful and accommodating to my requests. The bed was very comfortable, and a fan was provided, which was a godsend during the weekend heatwave 🥵. My only gripe was that it could have been a bit cleaner; there were crumbs and sugar left on the kitchen side and I had to sweep the floor because it was quite dirty in places, which was a shame because I would have scored it a 10 otherwise. It’s overlooked by the main house (as other reviewers have said), but we pulled the blinds and were left to our own devices, so it wasn’t an issue for us at all really.

“A very expensive stay due to the fine.”

It’s close to the town. Wrong information was given by the hosts about free parking at a local shop, and when we returned home we received a £90 fine! which we could have avoided. When we contacted the host to point out his mistake he didn’t even bother to reply and just deleted all messages.😠
