Stayed at the Coat & Bear while visiting Highclere Castle. I had a room with 2 beds and it was very spacious. The staff was very nice and the food at the pub was delicious. The town of Newbury is very nice and walkable and the hotel is only about a 10-15 min walk to the Newbury train station. I would definitely stay here again.

A truly thoughtful stay! The hotel’s attention to detail was evident from the moment I stepped into my room—greeted by a charming handwritten note and a delightful selection of sweet treats It’s the little gestures that make a stay memorable, and this one certainly did. The hospitality was warm, the room was immaculate, and the experience felt genuinely personal. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates those extra touches!

Overall cleanliness, and welcome was very good. The room was cold as air con was left on before arrival. It took awhile to find the car park, no sign posting information to find the parking There shoud be some sort of info regarding the car during booking.It was all very stressful looking for it in a busy town centre with one system's

My wife & I decided we needed a "just the two of us" getaway, & this establishment flashed up as a great deal for our time-frame. it's easy to reach off the M4, which was great, & even on a Friday evening it wasn't a bark to get to even though we were expecting commuter traffic. We were quickly checked in & allocated our room (#8, ground floor rear of the court yard, nearest the car park!). We weren't at all disappointed with the quality, size & comfort of this recently decorated haven. Lovely big bed, twin chairs & a small table bearing sweet treats, a proper large wardrobe (made of solid oak), a modern & large flat screen TV (which had spare HDMI & USB ports for streaming or stored entertainments), tea & coffee making facilities (a pod machine no less!) & a lovely high ceiling to give that extra feel of space in spades. Plus there was a delightful handwritten note in the room to welcome us to the hotel; a great personal touch in my book! And then there was the bathroom... The deep free-standing bath was quite the attraction for my wife, who loves a good soak at the best of times, but this was going to be as luxurious as possible. The power shower unit, with deluge/rainfall head & the "handheld" option was just brilliant. A huge unit too, so it was great, with the controls being easy enough to understand, & not convoluted at all. All pristine & clean of course, with a very luxurious colour scheme, from the paint to the tiles; it all screamed class!
Free standing tub, & large hand-wash basin
