A Grade II, 18C building set in 9 acres of natural water meadows, rivers and woodlands. The atmosphere is warm, relaxed and inviting and antiques and original works of art grace this luxuriously appointed hotel. 70 minutes from London, 5 minutes from Newbury Racecourse, ideally located for golfing at one of the 5 courses with 20 minutes drive, fishing at one of the rivers in our grounds or visiting the castles and ruins in the area. Sky TV and wireless internet in all rooms.
I took a party of 10 for Sunday Lunch. Despite the relatively high prices it was a disaster! Bland pate for the first course was served without toast or bread of any sort. In subsequent correspondence they stated that mine was the first complaint they had received about this. Two of the main meals were served cold. They were taken back into the kitchen to be reheated but the vegetables that had been served in a side dish were left on the table. Guess what? when the meals were re-served (now lukewarm) the vegetablesw were cold!A dessert described on the menu as a pudding with strawberries was served as a pudding with half a strawberry on the plate as decoration.Do you need to know any more?
