DONNINGTON GROVE REVIEWS
What a gem of a place I will visit again and use as a retreat. You feel immediately welcome here in the beautiful grounds and you arrive through the golf course and over the pretty bridge. This would be so pretty for weddings. The golf areas have a sense of humour and the land is so well kept. We came for an afternoon tea, in this unstuffy but delightful tea room overlooking the lawns and lake, after which we were free to take ourselves out onto the sun terrace or into the bar with the golfers. Lots of room options too. I plan to stay next time.
This hotel was perfect to start off our trip to the UK. Luke gave us a ride to the castle and let us explore. The grounds are beautiful! Made me want to take up Golfing. Our room and bathroom were huge. It was a bit hot but they provided us a fan. Zoey in the bar was lovely and made sure our meal was enjoyed. Breakfast was good and the jam display added extra ambience. Thank you for a lovely stay!
Met up with friends for a lunchtime meal. Wonderful service provided by lovely staff. The food was extremely good and well presented. The location of the restaurant was very nice, overlooking the lake. I recommend this restaurant to you.

THE CHEQUERS HOTEL REVIEWS
Everything was very good. The only complaint I would have is that the shower would go scalting hot that turn freezing ???? cold. We mentioned it to the receptionist on leaving, so hopefully it will be salted.
Very good hotel in a great location, end of the high street. Room was really nice, staff very friendly, and bar prices very reasonable, breakfast was very good. Free parking. I think people are to fussy and just love to moan. Would definitely stay there again.
Cool hotel that blends the new with the old in a unique way. Proper British Breakfast was good and hearty. Wish I had stayed there longer. Only complaint was the traffic, but that quieted down around 11pm.

DOUBLETREE BY HILTON NEWBURY NORTH REVIEWS
Got our coach trip names lost at booking in and offered a drink to wait things do go wrong and a glass of wine helps it. Room 211 was big and painting was going on in the halls, painter was very polite while painting the door. Food was beautiful in the morning and evening, help yourself and take as much or as little as you want. I can't fault it.
The hotel was close to the airport, they have a bar and a reception at the entrance. There's free breakfast every morning. There's a microwave available for people that comes with their own food. The staff service was okay. The rooms were comfortable. I complained about cold and a heater was brought to the room as soon as possible. I love the bathroom and toilet, it was really good. Overall it's a nice place to be.
A really good place to stay, food fabulous, staff extremely helpful, could not fault the room, everything perfect, thank you, will definitely stay again.
