Newtown House Hotel

24th March 2024. Enjoyed a Sunday Roast, good menu choices and selection of veg. Desserts were divine. Service really superb. Highly recommended. (the system requires 200 characters but I don't need that many to tell you how good it is.!!!)

Just returned from a 2 night stay and can honestly say it was very nice. On arrival we were greeted by a friendly reception lady who checked our room was ready. We had room 5 which was a lovely upper bay shaped room with nice bed and compact but nice bathroom. The only negative was the busy road although this did not bother us. The breakfast as other people have said was lovely and well cooked and delivered hot to your table. On our second night we could not make up our mind where to eat and due to walking nearly 15 miles decided to eat at the hotel. The food was very good and my wife's special which was salmon with rice was amazing! I just went for a spicy bean burger and this was also tasty. Some people will say it is showing signs of age however we found the whole place quirky and clean and the staff were all amazing Many Thanks Simon and Dawn

A nice old building in a bit of a residential area. Its fine as a hotel and I'd be happy to return. However there are elements of 'Creaky-English' in the style. The room was comfortable. A little chilly to walk into, I naturally turned the radiator on, only to find that a few hours later it was a sauna, so turned it off again. Good tea making facilities. Good car parking, although the entrance is a bit hidden, and I drove past it twice (in the dark) missing it each time. From the car park the signage to the reception could be a little more clear. The staff we met were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was huge - and its not often nowadays that you get proper fried bread. Its gone quite out of fashion. I suppose it might be to do with the fact that it's a heart-attack right there at the start of the day. At breakfast - you'll be fine if you're a tea drinker. They love massive teapots and you'll drown in tea. Coffee however is different matter - its instant and you make it yourself. I do prefer a fresh coffee - cafetiere for preference. A few things I can't comment on; Wifi - I didn't use it. I don't think there is a gym or any such facilities. The restaurant was closed for the evening so I can't comment on the food (other than the breakfast). We didn't use the bar - on account of going out to eat - but it did look like on another occasion I could have happily spent the evening there. Overall - yes I'd be happy to stay again if looking for something in this area.

Good food, good beds, good facilities and staff friendly and responsive. ****** that no bedside lights and no usable hanging space. We operated out of our cases, but we were there for only 2 nights.

We could not fault our stay at the Newtown House Hotel. We arrived jet lagged from California, slightly early for the checking in time. The member of staff on the reception was incredibly helpful and welcoming and checked the room was ready, before handing us the key. We stayed in the family room, which was spacious with every amenity we required (drink making facilities/ WiFi/ iron/ fan/ extra pillows/ etc). Every single member of staff that we met went above and beyond in every aspect, maki sure we had a comfortable stay. As mentioned in some other reviews, it is true that the bathroom perhaps could do with a little bit of tlc, but for the price we paid for the room, this was not an issue at all, and it was nice to have a full size bath. The breakfast was freshly cooked to order, with toast/ yogurt/ cereals/ tea, coffee and juice available in the breakfast room. We were so impressed with our stay, we booked the final weekend of our vacation back at the hotel! Thank you to all of the staff for our wonderful stay. We will definitely be back the next time we are visiting the area.

We arrived to find that the heating wasn’t working in our room. We were moved straight away. The shower was lovely and hot. Room more than adequate. We stayed for 2 nights which included breakfast which was very good indeed.

Fabulous stay at Newtown House Hotel. Room was the spacious turret room which was very comfortable with tea and coffee, hair dryer, iron etc - everything you could need. Staff were super friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast was amazing! The choice was excellent - fruit, cereals, yogurts, bakery items, toast, jams etc. as well as a fantastic offering of cooked breakfasts. As much tea and coffee as you could drink. The service was impeccable - super friendly lady attended us and the tables were all laid beautifully. Could not fault anything at all and would highly recommend!!

Will definitely return, staff are so friendly and helpful it made the stay something special

Went for a Pre arranged Christmas lunch, food started to arrive nearly one hour after the booked time, no one manning the bar in the function room, no staff came to apologise for the delay, if you wanted a drink you had to get up from your table, walk along the long corridor to the bar then carry it back to your table. Everything had been pre ordered in advance, you had to ask for the basics like cranberry sauce, water etc. The food when it did arrive was Luke warm, soggy roast potatoes swimming in gravy over Luke warm turkey slices, I Couldn’t even get my fork into the parsnip it was so hard, pretty awful really considering the limited choice from which every meal was preordered from. The staff struggled to cope they tried their best but Clearly had no experience. Thank goodness the company was convivial which made up for a really dreadful lunch.
