Donnington Valley Hotel, Golf & Spa, Newbury (Berkshire)

The hotel offers an impressive setup for relaxation with a lovely spa and a spacious pool area, but the dining experience leaves room for improvement due to the buffet style breakfast and food temperature issues. Overall, my stay was enjoyable, particularly with the great service at the bar and the wonderful spa features, but I was left wanting more from the dining options.

Overall, it’s a decent spot for relaxation but there’s room for improvement.
