Review by hotel critic
As an outdoor adventure blogger based in London, I often find myself seeking a balance between comfort and value during my travels. Recently, I stayed at the Five Bells in Wickham, and I was pleasantly surprised. The hotel managed to combine a welcoming atmosphere with high standards, making it my go-to spot when working in Newbury. The housekeeping was spotlessly clean, and the rooms offered all the practical amenities you would expect, including free Wi-Fi and luggage storage. The communal lounge area set the perfect scene for casual conversations with locals, fostering a charming sense of community. I particularly appreciated the tea and coffee facilities in the lobby, which included individual bottles of milk for every room—a delightful touch that I rarely encounter elsewhere. The food exceeded my expectations throughout my two-night stay. The changing menu reflected quality dining, with the Sunday roast and fresh Hake being highlights. While not the cheapest option in the region, the five-star service and comforts made the experience worthwhile. For those seeking an escape from town yet within easy reach of attractions, the Five Bells is an excellent choice, providing genuine value for a relaxing getaway.
