Lovely stay. The hotel is in a great location with good walks around, close to Newbury and the Watermill Theatre. The rooms were very clean, staff were friendly and excellent breakfasts. Recommend it

We booked a one-night stay at Elcot Park and, overall, came away feeling that the hotel has so much potential. There were some genuinely wonderful parts of our stay, particularly the spa treatments, food, outdoor spaces and the lovely staff. However, there were also several areas that didn’t quite meet the standard we would expect from somewhere marketed as a luxury boutique hotel. We arrived at around 9am and paid extra to have early access to the spa before our room was ready. We were incredibly lucky with the weather, as it was a beautiful sunny day during a heatwave. This meant we could spend the morning relaxing around the outdoor pool before having lunch and our treatments. The outdoor area is lovely when the weather is good and made for a very relaxing start to our stay. The pool loungers could do with some attention, however, as a number of them were looking quite worn and in poor condition. It is a relatively small detail, but these are the sorts of things you notice when staying somewhere that positions itself as a luxury property. The outdoor setting itself is beautiful, so refreshing or replacing some of the furniture would make a noticeable difference. We were particularly grateful for the good weather because the indoor spa area is fairly small. There were only around four loungers immediately beside the indoor pool, so I imagine it could feel quite crowded on a rainy or colder day when everyone is wanting to be inside. There are additional relaxation lounges

The hotel is set in beautiful countryside and the property itself is grade two listed. The public areas were nicely done and lots of breakout areas to have quiet time or be with friends. Unfortunately the two rooms we booked were not up to standard with both bathrooms having visible long-term mould in significant areas of the tiling, plus the showers kept turning on and off whilst you use them. In the bedrooms the wallpaper was loose in areas and in one of the rooms the wall had what looked to be a mud stain down one wall. Not what you expect for a hotel that is meant to be part of the small luxury hotels group, nor the price that we paid for the rooms. We had arranged to have upgraded rooms, which concerned us more as we wondered what our standard rooms would’ve been like! Our rooms didn’t have air-conditioning and they could only provide very old fans which did little to cool things down. We made use of the spa and all of its facilities. The spa treatments for all four of us were excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed them. We were lucky that our stay was during the hot spell so we were able to use the outside pool but if it had been a cold or rainy day that really does limit what is on offer for you to spend a day or even a half day. The pool area was tired, especially the loungers which had definitely seen better days. We did however love the food and menu choices including a good selection of wines. All the staff were really nice and eager to help.

The staff were very friendly but there was no air conditioning and the breakfast was disappointing with empty salt and pepper , not enough food and when I asked the receptionist to look for my Apple charger I had left behind she brushed me off and never got back to me
