Stayed at Elcot on two separate bookings over a period in February. The best thing about the Elcot is the fact that the staff are really nice and helpful throughout the hotel. We had multiple restaurant bookings and changed numbers and times all good. The bed and linen is also wonderful so good for a nights sleep. We had two rooms, both were good but one was an odd shape with a shower in the bath tub which we changed on our second time. We have family in Newbury area and this is our go to hotel. If I have one small complaint its the beer selection in the bar. I like an IPA and the one on tap isn't a good one!

We had a lovely 1 might stay with our children. The family room was massive and had some toys in the kids room which was a hit! I especially loved the decor of the property and the orangery where we had dinner and breakfast was stunning. The food was excellent too! Will definitely be back.

My son and I spent one night at this hotel with the goal of having a relaxing day and night. Staff were very welcoming and first impressions were that this was a lovely hotel. Our room wasn’t ready as we arrived early so had a light bite however it took far too long for us to be noticed and then drinks and food to come. Our family room (which was on the ground floor) had one bedroom with bunk beds and then the other with a superking bed. The bunk bed mattresses were embarrassingly old and uncomfortable for my ten year old. We could feel every spring so ended up having to put two towels and double over a duvet to make it more comfortable. There were some sticky stains on the walls which had been missed by the cleaner and the fan in the bathroom had clearly seen better days due to large clumps of dust falling into the bath. The shower head also only delivered targeted power. For the price we had paid I was beyond disappointed.
