Location was good and set in nice grounds. Our room was in a separate building to the rear so very quiet. Decor very pleasant in deed. Check in staff were very nice and helpful. Beds were comfortable. We had a family room. Our son's bed was nice and our bed very comfy and clean. We had a meal in the restaurant which, apart from my son's chicken being very dry, was pleasant. All in all a nice place to stay. We didn't have breakfast as we had to be away very early, but the menu looked appealing.

The bedroom was large, clean and comfortable. I received a lovely greeting on arrival and was offered a choice of food. Fabulous bar area with a roaring fire. Breakfast was perfect. I was also given a takeaway coffee when I was heading home.

We should have been asked if either of us would have difficulty in climbing stairs and walking long distances to our room. We should have been told that the fixed radiator did not work and that the second, portable type, was in the room for that reason. The window in the room needed to be draught proofed. We were there on a very cold night.

Well situated for cycling along the Kennet and Avon Canal.
Well situated for cycling along the Kennet and Avon Canal. Good rail links both west and east. Attractive countryside away from the A4, e.g. back roads to Hungerford which we cycled. Newbury Centre very pretty. Best approached by bike rather than taking car into the town.

Overall a likable hotel in a great location.
Overall a likable hotel in a great location. I thought the grounds back of house were a little scruffy and untidy and I banged my car on the crash barriers around a shed when I reversed (Couldn't see them in my mirror).
Good friendly staff and manager.

VERY VERY POOR RESTAURANT AND BAR SERVICE
ROOMS EXCELLENT
25 MINUTES TO GET ONE BEER
NO STAFF ATTENDING THE BAR
I WAS THE ONLY ONE WAITING
THEY SAID THE COMPUTER HAD CRASHED AT THE TILL
I HAD CORRECT MONEY BUT HAD TO WAIT
40 MINUTES TO GET MY MEAL AND THE RESTAURANT WAS NEARLY EMPTY
NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL
The hotel is beautiful, decorated with good taste, clean, comfortable and very welcoming; the location is very good - close to London, Oxford and Cotswold. The staff is very friendly and helpful and our breakfast was just right; I am looking forward to going back and try their dinner/ pub grub; wholeheartedly recommend it; it appears to also be dog friendly; the perfect retreat for a countryside trip.
We stayed at the Berkshire Arms for reading festival weekend … we are not campers the hotel was away from reading enough maybe 25 minute drive , our hotel room had a huge comfy bed which after walking and dance round the festival all day was amazing to come back to , and seriously the best shower, hot and powerful ! The staff were all lovely, smilie and helpful at all times .
The hotel room itself was beautiful, the bed comfy and everything was spotlessly clean. The tea/coffee/biscuits that were in the room were a lovely quality as well. The staff were so friendly and welcoming and genuinely couldn’t do enough! The breakfast was so lovely and a generous portion with lots of little extras.
Friendly Team delivering great service to guests, particularly the Italian restaurant and bar manager for whom no request was too much - I apologise I did not get her name, but a great asset to the hotel.
Although hotel was very rundown and clearly needing of TLC, the staff makes it up .They were very hard working, kind and helpful at all times. They couldn't do enough to make you feel welcome.
Amazing hotel, staff lovely. There was a fan in the room but no A/C it was a really hot weekend so was in need of A/C but in all was a lovely stay. Will definitely be returning
Rooms are clean, but the annex is dated (former Premier Inn/Lodge) so needs a face-lift.
Staff were helpful at breakfast but bar staff lacked wine knowledge of their own list.
It was a lovely country side hotel to stay. Lovely quiet atmosphere. Breakfast included big plus. Amazing big room for a value of money. Very lovely staff.
