Lovely location, friendly staff on arrival and a nice pub feel. Not the most immaculately clean bathroom but overall the room was comfortable and good value for money

Closed
When I arrived the premises was closed. Luckily the owner answered the phone and opened up as he said he hadn’t had notification of booking. He opened up for me and gave me a room. But breakfast was supposed to be included but no facilities for breakfast, dinner or even drinks as basically the premises were closed

Thank yu for taking the time and trouble to review the Bel. lOnce again I am really sorry for not having a note of your booking. Im afraid Covid has caused us many concerns esp re opening and closing times and facilities offered. The next time you require accommodations in Newbury, please contact me directly as Id like to share the facilities that the Bell has to offer Kind regards Paul

Comfortable, but nothing outstanding.
We didn't expect perfection from what is a room above a pub and clearly the owners are trying to do the best with what they have. The rooms (room 11) are small and the ensuite microscopic but they are clean and well cared for. Where the room falls short on are the things within control. For example, there is only one (ONE!) socket available for guest use in the room and that is at the furthest point from the bad. Had we required the supplemental electric heater there would have been no available sockets. Fortunately we had a power strip with us so we could plug in our cellphones to charge overnight. But, any room ought to have sufficient sockets for charging essential gadgets. A power-strip with a cord long enough to reach the side of the bed so that a cellphone could be used as an alarm is a basic requirement. Our meal was so-so and served sequentially so that even though we sat 6ft from the kitchen my wife's food was cold by the time mine was served. In Britain I expect concurrent serving, especially as we were the only two diners that rainy Monday night. The menu is basic pub-grub fare, which was all we needed, but since the advertising leads you to expect more, beware. There are two WiFi networks, the guest one and the private one. Ask for the password to the private one as the guest one is provided through a partner that requires too much private info. The staff, both during the evening and again in the morning, were friendly, approachable, and eager to please.

Thanks for your comments. WI FI is secure and you can opt out of any info being shared. It is quite secure. I really don't think you would expect Crabs and Lobsters on basic pub menus in U.K. along with dishes such as Chicken Forestiere and Lemon Sole but I hope you enjoyed your dinner with us. Thanks for your comments on power outlets. I will investigate this as the alarm clock has two charging points for phones etc. Kind regards Paul

Comfortable room, poor breakfast
The room was clean and comfortable which is the main thing. It had a shabby, down-at-heel feel about it but then it wasn't very expensive. It is long overdue for refurbishment and the towels were very frayed. Service at breakfast was excellent but the cooked breakfast very poor: Old, wrinkled mushrooms that were practically raw, a fried egg that was solid and bacon that was very over-cooked. Not a pleasant experience!

You booked a TWIN room./ On arrival you requested a DOUBLE. The Inn was fully booked and we couldnt move your allocated room. Decorative candle lights do not have shades and pictures are security mounted on the walls so I do not understand your comments. Im sorry you didnt enjoy your stay at the Bell

Convenient location, inadequate cleaning staff.
Had booked a twin room, was given a double bedded room - blow up bed was provided but on retiring discovered the double had been used previously. The pillow on one side was crumpled and dented ( head shape) the sheet on the same side was rumpled ( body Shape) while the other side was taught and unruffled as was the other pillow. After some discussion, that it was too late to do anything while insisting it was not necessary as it was clean and the room was unused the night before , staff reluctantly changed the bedding. It could easily have been used and left unchanged from several days earlier by the cleaning person, It was quite obviously used bedding!

Not worth the money, never again!
Simply would not stay again. Nobody at reception when you arrive, waited 10 minutes. Booked a double room and got a single room. Placed order from menu for evening meal at 6.00pm to be ready for 7.00pm turned up at 7.35pm. In morning no hot water at all so had to have cold shower. When checking out nobody asked how my stay was and when I mentioned no hot water there was no apology just "thanks for letting me know, we will get it looked at".

Not worth the price. No internet from the bedroom
I booked this hotel as it said there was wifi available from the room. As it goes there was no reception, only way to get wifi was by sitting close the pub bar. Wasn't the best service overall. Wouldn't stay there again and for the price £80 it definitely wasn't worth it.

Beautiful setting. So quiet and feels like you're really away from it all but a short drive got us whatever we needed. We ate dinner there and the food and wine was fab. Room was just what we were looking for for our short break and our dog was welcome too which was a big plus for us. Breakfast the next day gave a great choice and was tasty and filling. We even decided to stay for lunch after we checked out. I just wish we could've extended our stay another day but real life beckoned!

Good enough for a couple of nights, food was quite good and the service was food, but the room needs a makeover, especially the bathroom. No hot water in the shower on one of the mornings, but all in all not bad.

Had a very pleasant night at the hotel, slept well and the bed was very comfortable and the room was good. We decided to have an evening meal, which was very good apart from the lack of vegetarian dishes. There were none on the menu. I am able to eat fish so was fine but for those that are none meat and fish eaters they would have struggled. Very welcoming and friendly staff.

Great Mom & Pop Hotel a little outside Newbury
I arrived late and the reception was closed, all the lights shut off and only the side door was open. But due to the thoughtful owners, they had a welcome note and a key card sitting on a table waiting for me to check myself in and get a good night's rest. Can't thank them enough for that. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the food is homemade and tastes great! The only issue was the location, it is between a few large country estates and farms and about 5 miles away from anything.
