Rebecca

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The building and grounds are beautiful. Staff are amazing and amazing 5 star touches such as a drink on arrival, freshly made biscuits in the room. They also gave us a complimentary drink in our room due to it being our anniversary. What lets this place down slightly is the room. Whilst it was still very nice it was on the small side and the shower is the main thing which is not good enough. It’s an old shower head which looks like something you would get in a travel lodge and water pressure was terrible. They should upgrade to rainfall shower heads to match the quality of the rest of the hotel. Dinner was exceptional. Amazing cocktails and food was spot on.

Much needed relaxing break in the countryside. Long walks and hot pools and spa access was incredible. I loved the atmosphere and the welcoming feeling. Service / staff were so lovely and helpful. I cannot wait to return and I would recommend this hotel to everyone!

Two Great Stays at Elcot
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!

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Our stay at this property was really underwhelming. While the gardens and outdoors are beautiful and well kept, the interiors are quite tired, particularly the rooms. Lots of scratches on the wall, no wardrobe in the room, terrible shower where it is impossible to regulate the water temperature. The spa was probably the biggest disappointment, it is very small and the outdoor pool is not heated despite the description ( and the staff) says it is. The highlight of the property is definitely their asian restaurant on site, both service and food were exceptional. Otherwise, the staff at the spa and reception seems clueless most of the time, we had to chase them up for everything we needed and were mostly dismissive and not helpful. This is not what you would expect from a luxury hotel, definitely not good value for money and a lot of room for improvement.

Weekend break
On arrival, what a lovely friendly greeting we had from reception staff Even had a complimentary drink, Then we were showing to our room what was beautiful overlooking the swimming pool? The sauna steam room and indoor pool was lovely. The only downside and it was our fault for not reading the description further was there were a lot of dogs at the hotel. What we do not have a problem with just normally when you sit down for an evening meal, it would’ve been a lot nicer not to have the animals in the restaurant.
