So an initially really poor impression. Meal not served, a bartender who ‘short served’ my drink! However, a superb recovery from the management who served me a replacement drink and brought my meal to my room. And charged me for neither! Having worked in a customer facing environment for many years, mistakes happen! It is then the appreciation of a mistake and reparations which leaves the lasting feeling!
So 10/10 for those who sorted out my evening.
Would I go there again? Would I recommend it to others?
Absolutely!
A beautiful location with lots to offer and a management team who make things work for the customer!!
Well done all!

The bedroom was large, clean and comfortable. I received a lovely greeting on arrival and was offered a choice of food. Fabulous bar area with a roaring fire. Breakfast was perfect. I was also given a takeaway coffee when I was heading home.

Small market town that has essential shopping and even a family owned department store. There are many walks along the canal or small river that runs around the town. Visit Highclere ( the home of Downton Abbey) or just chill out in the surrounding countryside.

NO response from the hotel or from Booking. Com. Have done nothing to help me out of the situation I find myself in.
As long as they have got your money they are happy. The world is not black and white
and sometimes shit happens that is outside
the normal.
Staff training would be a massive leap forward for you guys.
You might even get happy customers !!!

Newbury was a bit of a revelation.
Newbury was a bit of a revelation. To be honest all we needed was a place to eat as we had opted not to eat in the Hotel. There were plenty to choose from on the high street and we opted for a Lebanese which had beautiful food with good service. The high street itself was closed but we had a wander around and discovered what would be a very vibrant centre in the day time

We stayed two nights and that was exactly enough for a quick look around Newbury, with a visit next day to Highclere Castle, and a departure the next morning. We visited an art installation in the Corn Exchange. A six metre diameter model of the moon. Very peaceful viewing. However, there was almost nothing in Newbury which made us feel we needed more time, nor any reason to re-visit.
We ate in the Lodge Hotel on the Racecourse the first evening. The menu is very limited indeed, basically pizzas, burgers and chicken wings. Next evening we ate at the Swan Inn in Newtown, just south of Newbury. This was a very nice meal.
It is easy to get around Newbury because there are plenty of car parks in the town centre and the place is small enough to cover on foot.

I spent a pleasant few hours (4) in Newbury shopping and looking around. In the main Newbury offered the same old same old shops you see in every town centre. However, there was one nice department store which offered a good choice of clothing, shoes, cosmetics and a couple of boutique clothing shops offering reasonably priced different offerings but nothing high end.
We went for family weekend and everything in the hotel was good. Not all the rooms were as close as we would have liked but that caused no problems. The pool was great for the grandkids. There was plenty of seating in reception area. Breakfast was buffet with plenty of choice. My wife is coeliac and gluten free and the staff were really helpful to ensure there was no cross contamination. The one evening meal we had in the restaurant was good. Location close to M4 and Newbury was excellent.
My wife and I, along with my parents, had a great stay at the Dolphin. The hotel is full of character and the staff was super friendly. We did not eat at the pub restaurant, but took advantage of their great beer selection. The bathrooms in both of our rooms appeared to be newly renovated and were very nice. The rest of the room was great as well, with decor seeming to have been recently updated.
My booking was cancelled by the hotel the day before my due date, on the pretence that they had flood.
I had to book another hotel 4 miles out of Newbury which cost £50 more.
I visited the Bacon Arms on booked morning asking for a room for the night, I was offered a room.
When I asked about my booking being cancelled they were very aggressive and uncooperative.
Great golf course, helpful pro and helpful staff generally. Excellent value and exceeded our expectations. Breakfast was buffet style, very good English breakfast and good sausages (always the acid test of a breakfast and no skimping here). Hotel perhaps just slightly tired decor, but don;t be put off and was kept very clean
Location fine ( for Newbury Races). Very quiet location on the edge of a pretty little village. Lovely evening meal was enjoyed by all of us. Breakfast was also exceptional - lots of attention given to all the food preparation. All in all, a very pleasant stay and certainly to be recommended. Thank you.
The staff are so friendly and the food was excellent - it's a beautiful setting so close to the Watermill Theatre and Newbury. We were doing two private painting classes with the lovely local and very talented artist - Gail Davis (www.artgaildavid.com) and the hotel was so handy for that.
Room was very clean. The bed was very comfortable. Excellent towels, big and fluffy! The staff were very helpful and friendly. The location is great, a short walk from Newbury town centre and free parking out the front of the hotel. Easy to get to main roads from the location.
Great value / competitive prices, excellent food, smiley staff who helpfully told us the cheapest place to park in Newbury which was very close to the hotel.. No 'musak' in the bars. Great location in the town centre. good choice of drinks - apart from the lack of Port
It was super easy to check in and out. The location is great, very quick walk to everything. The staff was friendly and kind. There was also free parking right behind the hotel. The bed was the most comfortable hotel bed ever!
Location, meals and layout of bedroom. There were a number of unexpected extras, e.g sloe gin, bottled water and pillow spray which demonstrated that the hotel was very much customer-focused.
Deluxe rooms are very large. Bed was enormous and very comfortable. Bathroom is nice and clean.
The location is perfect and in the town centre of Newbury. Ideal for Newbury racings
We were at Retrofestival at Newbury showground hotel only 25min drive away very convenient. Lovely hotel, pleasant staff, 5 min walk Town great. Breakfast excellent plenty of choice.
When we got to the hotel I was informed that no rooms were available yet I had already paid for my rooms

The room was really nice. There was everything you could want including gorgeous biscuits. The decor was excellent. As we stay in lots of hotels with our jobs it was a real treat.
