Value for money. General cleanliness was great. Warm welcoming and friendly staff. Lovely quiet location which was great after a hectic few days of driving from the Lake District to the isle of Wight for job interviews and back again. Used the postcode as per the instructions on the website and it took us around the houses and we ended up being talked in by a really helpful bloke on reception. So I'd advise just to follow the brown road signs. Comfy bed. Plenty of tea and coffee.

Small bathroom.. Sit on the loo and you struggle to get the toilet roll off. Room was very stuffy even with the radiator off and window cracked. (good insulation I know) There was a mark on the throw on the bed which was clear to see and the hand-wash at the sink was empty so had to reach in to the shower to use the shampoo/body wash. Just little things missed by housekeeping. No real complaints just observations from a fellow hotel worker. It won't stop us using you again for a restful stay over to break up our journeys

Very nice and helpful staff. Room and bed and bedding comfortable, room small but usable. Good water pressure in shower. Nice breakfast options - continental and cooked breakfast available. Good hot and cold food items at other times of day. Full bar for drinks and soft drinks, lifts available on all floors. Room had nice towels, tea/coffee, kettle, hairdryer and fan. Window would open enough to get fresh air into the room.

Shampoo in room not refilled, fortunately I had my own. Doors on floor 1 are noisy to open/close, this could be heard from inside the room when adjacent doors were opening/closing late in the night/early in the AM. A small desk to work from would be a bonus.

The food at the premises was superb, breakfast, continental, full English, pastries, fruit, cereals, yogurts, juices, tea coffee and evening meals if you wished to purchased The bar was a great. So everything you need on the premises. Staff all very pleasant and happy to talk to and very helpful. The room was adequate, did have a fantastic king size bed, but the room was rather on the small size. No area to really move around in. The free parking was a brilliant feature. Hotel not far from the M4. So easy assess to the south and north of the country. If doing the Newbury races. Hotel is right next to the course. Near to the Nutfield Health Fitness Centre, which can use at an extra cost. (We never got the chance due to a busy few days)

Room 1. We asked for a quiet room, but I believe the room was situated over the kitchen, reception area. So all night you would hear a door shutting/banging below our room which disturbed our sleep. The room was adequate, a little on the small size. No wardrobes, just a few hangers on a open rail in the corner of the room. We placed a sign on the door to not be disturbed or the room made up, but came back from a day out to find this request had been ignored.

I arrived and had a lovely greeting, very nice and polite by Edna and then Will, exactly what i needed after arriving from Bristol on my bike, aching and in need of shower, food and a beer. Thank you Edna for sorting out my then, non charging phone. Day 2 would have been very difficult without it. 😃 The price for b&b was the best in the area, the rooms were very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful, and the cooked was very enjoyable. All in all, I had a great time at this facility for my 1 night stay with the spectacular racecourse as a backdrop on the way in. Perfect place for my needs, all the staff I met evening and morning made me happy I'd chosen The Lodge. 👍

Bed was very comfortable. Room was clean and atmosphere in public spaces lovely. Rooms were too warm.

I couldn't get any toast with my breakfast as they had run out of gluten-free bread the day before. Staff did not even apologise when she told me 'no'. Bar menu also had just one GF option in snacks. No non-diary milk on the counter for cereal either. People with allergies shouldn't have to ask for possible alternatives and be told 'no' as if it doesn’t matter and we are just being awkward about our 'dietary preferences'. Maybe I should have told hotel in advance, but it’s about time hotels just provided it as a matter of course. We are not being awkward. We are protecting our health. Apologies for complaining! Hotel would have got top marks all around apart from this.

The room and the whole hotel was of a higher standard and the bed was more than comfortable.

The only thing I didn't like was the food. You could tell it was of a high standard and quality ingredients however the burger I had was literally a cremated burger in a burnt bun which the cheese, that I am pretty sure I paid more for, was almost see-through and it didn't come with and salad in the burger or sauce so was very very dry in the end. Breakfast which was included also had good quality meats, but you could tell it had either been under a hot plate or was over cooked.

I was immediately met by friendly and informative staff at check in. Amazingly breakfast is on until 11.30 on the weekends, which is a huge bonus compared to other places. You can walk into Newbury town centre easily and the area feels very safe due to being on the racecourse. The bed was very large and comfortable. Apparently there was a big party on until late into the night when I was there, which I didn't notice at all. So the hotel is very quiet and well sound insulated.

There were some stains on one of the decorative pillows and on the ottoman in my room.

The room, although sited next to a staircase and a door that was used quite regularly by other guests, was quiet and comfortable. The view was of the car park so I could keep an eye on my car. I found the tea making facilities, decor and bathroom to be perfectly comfortable. I didn't use the bar or restaurant but they seemed to be lively and welcoming when I signed in.

The bathroom was a little dusty - no more than mine at home, I hasten to add! Upon arrival, there was no one at the reception desk and no way of alerting the attention of the receptionist although I could hear her talking to someone inside the bar/restaurant. She was very pleasant and clearly busy but I did have to wait a little while before she noticed me - and another guest who had also just arrived.

Lovely rooms even if slightly on the small side. Nice decor but most importantly the staff were very helpful and friendly.

It’s a pain to find even with the emailed instructions. Road is blocked off for access (a kind man in his hut let me through the barrier), stayed for two nights and not once did the Satnav take me in the right way. If you’re travelling here I’d put in The Old London Apprentice pub on Hambridge Road into your Satnav and once there then put in The Lodge, that should have you coming in the right way. If the man isn’t there to let you through then you’d have to find an alternative way in anyway so I hope that helps avoid any delays.

The place is very clean, the staff are attentive and cheerful. Location for a day at the races is perfect although it gets booked up really quickly, Town centre is walkable if you want a stroll down the main road, - you can do a loop and come back upsides the race course takes around an hour, Breakfest very good.

Beer was expensive but I assume it was race course prices. We stayed two nights and didn't go in the bar the second, we walked to another more resonably priced pub. No where to sit properly in the bedroom (Obviously the room was restricted by space) - I don't want to sit on the end of the bed reading - this was not indicated in the room description.
