Great value room with parking located in central Newbury, friendly staff and lots of dining options, would definitely return.

I thought the staff were very friendly but the overall condition of the property was very basic. I would not recommend any of my friends to stay.

Wasn't made aware of possible noise from town, in room info said ear plugs would be provided, they weren't! Sofa bed uncomfortable, main bed was very hard. Issue with water, poor lighting. Staff very laid back, no signage for check in. Expensive for what in was.

Nice location for a stay in the countryside, close to the train station for an easy day trip to London.

When I booked it was not explained that the standard rooms were in a rather uninviting annex outside the main building, through a wrought iron gate and separated from the car park by a rough wooden fence. The room was dark and rather dreary, though clean enough. The whole place had a rather shabby feel. The staff did not go out of their way to be welcoming. (Rooms in the main building may well give a different impression). I would not choose to stay there again if and when I am in Newbury. Newbury itself is rather nice and, to be fare, the Elephant is in a good and convenient location in the market place.

We were given a disability room off the car park so not in the main building. So no view of anything except a fence 18” from our window. Not sure why hotels think people with disabilities don’t need a surface to put their toiletries on in the bathroom. I find this in every room of this category we’ve stayed in.

The pub is lovely - excellent selection of drinks and the food was great. However, we did struggle a bit with the room. At first glance it looked fine, but the bed was quite hard and uncomfortable, and the radiator in the bathroom was set to maximum and we couldn't turn it down! We just closed the bathroom door so the whole room wouldn't heat up. Neither of us slept well however due to the tilt of the floor and the hard bed so I'm afraid to say we cut our visit short! We'll certainly be back to the pub for food and drinks though, can't fault that part!

The room was quiet and safe, if a bit old. Really no complaints except the door lock was temperamental. However, the service was outstanding! I can definitely recommend.

Stayed in the deluxe room, very spacious, clean and cosy! Nice little view over the Main Street (Babar room) - great location and free parking was a nice addition. The lamp table lamp needs a new bulb or changing though, it kept flickering! Otherwise, the stay was faultless

Great value room in the centre of Newbury, staff are very friendly and helpful. We had only had breakfast but that was nicely prepared and very tasty. Although we live locally we were meeting friends for new years eve, and this is a much better option than taxis or trains. Will be returning to see what the food is like in the restaurant in the evening.

Nice little place to stay. The room we stayed in was just outside of the building that is shown but by no means was this an inconvenience. It was on the ground floor so no carrying bags up and down the stairs required. The staff were friendly, the property nice, the room was small but cozy and comfortable and the food was good. Parking was free and onsite which is always a bonus. My only complaint was that very early in the morning, someone emptied what sounded like a huge trash bin full of glass bottles which startled us both. I would stay at this property again if in the area.

Arriving at the car park is a bit awkward as there is a barrier and you have to get out of your car to press the button . We knew where it was due to looking for it on Google Maps earlier but if you did not know this you would find it difficult to locate . When parked, we walked to reception but we had to wait as nobody to be seen and then once booked in, we were shown to our room, which was one of those outside. The room was a bit dissapointing as was very small and felt cold and dark. It felt like you would not have a comfortable stay. The room was not like those in the pictures on the site. Very similar but not as nice. The room was quite clean , clean bedding , towels, bathroom etc although there were cobwebs in the bathroom and bedroom . We even had a mosquito in the room as I was bitten and saw it flying around on both days. I never slept well at all on both the nights we stayed. It was either bins being emptied about 4am or neighbours , who were talking on the phone i believe but you could hear every word. The coffee machine was not working very well and you had to press the button several times to get a full cup . No other means for coffee and only black tea so if you didn't want either you were stuffed! Four suger lumps on day one then only two for day two! We were very glad to be leaving after two nights and so glad it was not three nights as I usually book when down this way. Again on checking out we had to search for someone as a deserted reception .
