This is our second time staying at the Newbury Guest House and again, we were quite pleased with our stay, though it was too short. Our room was simple, well appointed and clean; the bath has been updated and well maintained. What we like most about the Newbury Guest house is the very friendly and welcoming staff, from those at the front desk to those sweeping the carpets or changing the rooms. It is a small and intimate place where guests gather in the living room to enjoy a drink, read, chat or play chess. Overall, there is a great vibe in this warm, traditional space which is hard to replicate elsewhere.
