We checked in late, and the staff were super friendly and helpful! The food was absolutely delicious, especially the dinners. The pub has such a cozy atmosphere, and the chef and waitress were amazing. Big thanks to the manager too for keeping a table for us without a booking — really appreciated! Overall, a lovely place with great service. We’re so glad we chose to stay here!

Small but perfectly formed

I had a nice small room in the hotel, lots of shops in Newbury and lots of places to eat and drink, and a nice stroll to the racecourse.

Location is convient for walking to many shops. The WFi sign in app is not user friendly. Hint, to specify the year of your birth you touch the present year (2025) and only then will other earlier years appear for selection.

Not what I expected!

The place was okay, but not what I expected. We booked a deluxe double and it was hardly that! The decoration to the walls haven’t seen a lick of paint in many years and one of the walls had more cracks in it like a dried up reservoir! We booked a full English breakfast for our duration which was very nice. But I have never had to pay for my beverages as an extra as these wasn’t included in the price. Two hot drinks and two orange juice was £13.90 per day. This was more than the breakfast. To be honest this did but a dampener on our stay as I never saw it in the small print, that’s if it’s actually is. I would give the Elephant at the Market 3 out of 10 as the food was very good.
