Kastelen in Newbury

'Vriendelijk en servicegericht: föhn, strijkijzer en waterkoker op je kamer. Het oudste deel is een oude sfeervolle pub. Een fijne plek om even als 2e thuis te hebben. Heerlijk rustig wakker worden met alleen vogels en blatende lammetjes als achtergrondgeluid.'

'Check-in and check-out were incredibly easy. The room and the washroom, were quite spacious and clean. The complimentary coffee and tea were nice, and they also have a nice selection of juices and breakfast foods available downstairs for guests to enjoy. The slight downsides were the hair dry being quite dusty when I tried to use it, and the building is rather old so the windows had a slight draft. This wasn't an issue for us during the summer, but I can see it being slightly cold in the winter....

'De plek is fantastisch als je naar Highclere Castle wilt gaan. Kamer niet te groot en vriendelijk personeel.'

'Had a wonderful stay at The Retreat. Really relaxed atmosphere, gorgeous facilities and comfortable room. Only slight criticism was enough sun loungers by the outdoor pool, could definitely fit some more in so that people don’t have to sit on the grass. There was no one out there to ask for help, and it felt like there was no one really in charge. Same with the restaurant, it felt understaffed and so service was a bit lacking at times. But the staff who did serve us were very friendly....

'Nice clean rooms. Good value'

'Bij aankomst op typisch Engelse wijze ontvangen. We zijn wandelaars, maar door de overvloedige regen en kou toch maar taxi genomen tot hotel. Ironische maar warme ontvangst. Het was het begin van een kort maar zeer leuk verblijf. Aanrader, ook in de regen.'

'Very nice hotel, ideal for business trip !'

'Nice hotel some miles of the motorway. Quiet place although sounds from restaurant below were easily heard in the room of my collegue in front of the hotel. Nice large bathroom. No hairdryer.'
