Having stayed in a large chain hotel in Newbury only the night before my stay. The words that come to mind is chalk and cheese. The staff at the Beach were excellent polite well trained and looked to enjoy their jobs. The polar opposite to the night before.
This is a gem and i will be returning in may.

A little village out in the sticks, You need a car to get there.
We stayed at the Beach Arms in Oakley on the main A3400 road,
It isn't easy to find if you go the A303 route as we missed it completely coming from the other side of Salisbury, and ended up in Winchester first.
The best way is to take the M3 and then come off for Basingstoke, follow the signs for Newbury and the A3400 will appear on the signs. It is well hidden.
Stayed in one of the Innkeeper Lodges. Noisy if you stay at the front of the building, but we were right at the back, there is only 22 rooms, we had room 21. Backs onto fields.
The pub had special offer prices, like the Hungry horse franchise, and service was very quick, considering the covid 19 rules. Staff were very friendly and explained it all beforehand. Breakfast is payable and in the pub in the morning.
Oakley itself is very small, like all the villages in the area, it is sprawled out. We didn't cover the village, but I'm sure it must be as pretty as all the other villages around it.
Our hotspot was Winchester - Saturday, busy and bustling, A hotspot for the Covid 19, no wonder considering the way the cafes and restaurants were packing people in, side by side. We didn't dare go in.
Mask wearing there wasn't much to be seen. The Great Hall, what's left of the Winchester Castle is worth a look into our British history. £4 to get in, ideally book online to avoid queues, but the same price turning up at the door. Alot of money, for quite a little to do. Times online are to allow for 30 people in per hour. You will only get in on adhoc if it's not busy. Best to book online
The area of Oakley and villages are difficult to navigate without a satnav, I would avoid it in future for a short trip.
Well, how dissapointing was that! The staff was rude and unhelpful when I called to asked for an hour later checkin due to delays of our ferrycrossing. I called at 18:00 about the delay to organise checking between 22-23:00 in stead of the standard 22:00. They put me on hold, left me for 15 min silence and broke the line. After calling over 10 times without answer they picked up and hung up directly. How rude! We were left with no option but to book a different hotel last minute to prevent sleeping in the car with 5 adults.
Brilliant Hotel, Clean, helpful staff who cant do enough for you, fab food at really reasonable prices. Would highly recommend. Just going for my 3rrd stay as travel to Basingstoke for work, used to stay at Village hotel but got fed up of limited parking as the gym bunnies take all the spaces, found the Beach Arms by chance and have stayed there whenever in the area for work.
