“A really nice overnight stay and dinner at The Swan / Bel and Dragon. The building is delightful - full of beams and historical atmosphere but very well maintained. The bar was certainly very well patronised and appears popular with locals while most of the 9 rooms appeared to be occupied, based on the numbers at breakfast.

“Excellent price, beautiful location, facilities very clean and well equipped bathroom. Would’ve been nice to have a double mattress instead of two single beds, but it worked well anyway. Excellent stay, no complaints”
“Liked the fact the welcome by reception was pleasant and check in was easy.
Hotel location is great and easy to find with free parking in the hotel car park.
Free WiFi is a bonus.
Only negative I could find was the poorly performing coffee machine in the bar area next to the restaurant.
The cappuccino setting only gave half a cup.
It would be nice to have the option of a cup of coffee or a mug of coffee.”
“Stayed at the Coat & Bear while visiting Highclere Castle. I had a room with 2 beds and it was very spacious. The staff was very nice and the food at the pub was delicious. The town of Newbury is very nice and walkable and the hotel is only about a 10-15 min walk to the Newbury train station. I would definitely stay here again. ”
“Great place to stay, room in little building at the back of a courtyard, clean, super quiet and really comfy bed. The food is fantastic and staff are welcoming and friendly 😀 ”
“Had a great stay! The room was very spacious and well appointed, the restaurant was great and we really enjoyed the spa with our 2 year old daughter. Would be happy to come again! ”
“We loved the features throughout the building. The beams, low ceilings, uneven floors...really kept the character of the building. Rooms were nice albeit a bit strange having the shower in the room and not in the ensuite but good use if available space given grade 2 listed building regulations.”
