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

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.
