“This Grade II listed hotel, a reimagined coaching inn in Newbury, places you within easy reach of Downton Abbey's Highclere Castle. I think its blend of historic character and modern boutique design works well, creating a memorable stay. It seemed that the on-site Smoke House provides award-winning dining, and ample event spaces cater to both leisure and business needs.”
