A great place to stay in town

The apartment was spacious and fully equipped with all that you need for a comfortable stay. Location wise, it was spot on. Close to the twin centre and the railway station. The level of service from the staff was excellent and responsive.

Very little to be honest.

Comfortable, homely and well equipped apartment in a perfect location.

Spacious and well maintained apartment in the heart of Newbury. Walking distance from shops. Great host who was helpful before, during and after the stay.

Nothing- loved it all.

Seemed ok but it was not worth the money and turned into an ordeal I wouldn't want to repeat.

The flat was clean and had a well equipt kitchen. The instructions to get in were clear and easy to follow. Communication from the host was good and they were as helpful as could be in the situation.

Heating: I visited on two of the coldest days we have had this year, unfortunately the two small electric heaters in the apartment weren't up to dealing with the temperatures and we had to hunker down in the bedroom with the door shut to warm up. The bathroom radiator didn't seem to be connected, it was just a towl hanger. Having worked outside all day it wasn't nice to come back to. The hosts did offer to bring an additional heater the following day if i wanted it, but keeping the bedroom heater on for the second day had made it more bareable the next night. Bed Size: My partner was only able to stay for one night as the bed was so small that neither of us were able to sleep so although he was due to stay again he drove all the way back to lincolnshire instead. Location: On top of this, bearing mind I was then alone the next night, I was woken up twice by drunk and seemingly violent people, attempting to force thier way into the communal buildings front door and buzzing the apartments doorbell at 3am. This was all happening right by the bedroom window. Although the property responded to my messages prompty and despite the time, there wasn't alot they could do and I was advised to call the police. It was a frightening experience and I wouldn't stay here again for this reason. Someone had also buzzed the flat earlier that evening saying they were staying in Apartment 4 which is where I already was, it seemed to be an honest mistake but coupled with what then happened it just added to what was overall an unsettling experience.

I had a great time. I was only a few minutes away from the wharf, local cafes and shopping.

The apartment is beautiful and nicely appointed. It is really close to the train station and the town so very convenient. It was easy to gain entrance and the owner always answered questions promptly.

There was nothing major that was an issue. Only two fairly insignificant items; the first is that it was not possible to stop the kitchen tap from dripping, which probably is not as important in Britain as it is in Australia. The second is that there was almost no toilet paper supplied.

Très bon rapport qualité prix et très bon emplacement

Logement à proximité de tous les commerces . Calme . Très bien équipé. Literie très confortable .

Quelques soucis à revoir : - cuvette des toilettes cassée - toilettes sales (calcaire ) - douche pleine de calcaire - beaucoup de spots au plafond ne fonctionnait pas (1 / 4 dans la chambre et 1/4 dans la cuisine) - bouton de la lumière de la hotte cassé - le robinet de la cuisine fuit (goutte à goutte pénible pour celui qui a dormi sur le canapé lit )

Excellent location and everything supplied for your stay in Newbury

Location was excellent and flat had all the amenities needed

Too many codes to get in made it like getting out of an escape toom! No immediate parking when there is a near empty car park directly opposite. Would seriously suggest seeing if guests from the Old Library could grab another 4 digit code to open the gates on the car park.

I didn’t stay, chose to sleep in my car

I didn’t stay, contacted booking.com for a refund

The smell, the hair in the bathroom. The fact the key collection was from a broken letterbox without a lock, And the door appeared to be the only one damaged by screwdrivers

Lovely cosy apartment in a great location!

What I liked was the location, very close to the train station. Very cosy little apartment. I really liked the kitchen part & nice sofa with cushions & a throw blanket. I would definitely come back!

I think cleaners could do a better job, old food was left in a little bin….

I expected more considering the online list of facilities.

It was warm and dry.

The misleading description said it had modern TV with satellite and cable channels and also stated outdoor space it has none of these. It wasn't clean, the cooker oven was very dirty. The bathroom had mould. Looked under the beds and wardrobe very dusty. It states there is a view that it's of the busiest roads in Newbury A339.

We loved our stay. Thank you!

Very comfortable and clean apartment, ideal for us. We were a family of 3, visiting a relative that lives and works nearby. We stayed in the bedroom of the apartment, and our 16 years old daughter stayed in a sofa-bed in the living room. And even with the sofa bed opened, the living room had plenty of space for us (it included a table with 4 chairs, and there was plety of space around, as well as in the kitchen area). This apartment, which is both close to the center of Newbury and the train station, was the perfect location for us, to not only visit Newbury, but also to visit the surrounding cities and towns, using the train. Also, our host was very kind and efficient. We did not actually meet him, but everything was extremelly well organized, we got all the information we needed on time, including the codes for entering the building (we arrived around 11pm on a Sunday), the desciption of where we would find the lock box (key safe) for our apartment, and the code to open it, etc. Everything was in place when we arrived and all went great. We had a very pleasant stay and recommend. We plan to return.
