Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Berkshire Arms offers guests well-appointed rooms, some even described as being to a 4-star standard, boasting comfortable king beds and powerful showers. The breakfast comes highly recommended, particularly the smoked salmon and poached egg, alongside the 'best breakfast coffee ever' for some. While most find the experience excellent, a few guests have mentioned issues with the room temperature being uncomfortably hot. Its location provides convenient access to Newbury, with ample parking and an inviting outside seating area available.
