    superb breakfast
    cozy lounge
    paint flecks

    We had a lovely time with the superb breakfast and enjoyed the cozy atmosphere of the lounge area and the beautiful garden. The evening meal was also a highlight, making us feel relaxed and well taken care of. Just a heads up, there were a few paint flecks on the floor by the stair doors, but it didn't take away from our overall experience! 😊

    self-service breakfast
    snug parking spots

    We had a lovely time enjoying the self-service breakfast and cozy bar area during our two-night stay. The garden was perfect for chilling out, and we appreciated the comfortable bed. Just a heads up, the parking spots can be a bit snug, so plan accordingly for that! 😊

    charming building
    helpful reception
    overheated room

    The building has such charm, and the reception was a delight in sorting things out for us. The bar has a lovely vibe, perfect for a relaxing evening.

    But honestly, my room felt like it was warming up for a marathon—too hot! I half expected to see a sauna sign on the door.

    great breakfast
    comfortable bed
    friendly service
    shower issues
    confusing layout

    The Chequers in Newbury offered a mixed experience. I truly loved the warm welcome from Tracey at reception. she made sure my special requirements were met due to my crutches. The room felt comfortable and came with fine amenities. The tea and coffee facilities were replenished daily, a gesture that really stood out. The breakfast options were fantastic and delicious. a real highlight of my stay. The location is excellent, right in the heart of town, perfect for exploring the local area and visiting Highclere Castle. my room faced the car park, which made it feel a bit exposed. I encountered a few minor issues with the shower pressure that fluctuated throughout my stay, which was frustrating at times. I noticed the layout was a bit confusing with several corridors without proper signage. Despite these issues, the accommodating staff and the overall comfort made my stay enjoyable.

    great pool
    limited dining options

    We had a wonderful time visiting the famous racetrack nearby, and the service at the bar was top-notch. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the pool area was perfect for my kids to splash around in after a day filled with excitement.

    In my wife’s opinion, it would be great to have more family-friendly dining options available on-site.

    The staff provided exceptional service that made us feel welcome I appreciated the cleanliness of our room which was well-maintained and comfortable. The garden view added a lovely touch to the ambiance.

    The bathroom products could be of higher quality.

    spacious room
    comfortable bed
    quick room switch
    tv issues
    tired decor

    The room I stayed in was a Deluxe Double and it was pretty nice. Spacious and comfy! The bed was great for a good night's sleep. Only downside was that the TV didn’t work in the initial room, but they were quick to switch me to a better one. The vibe of the place felt a bit tired in some areas, like the carpet, but overall, it was decent for a night.

    ideal location

    can recommend for a short visit

    Comfortable room, delicious breakfast, ideal location. the buffet breakfast was perfect with a wide selection including hot options like bacon and eggs, and the location was conveniently only five minutes from the M4 motorway exit.

    Nothing I didn't like to be fair.
