The Furze Bush Inn  

In the countryside just outside Newbury, set in the North Wessex Downs. A short drive from Highclere Castle, the Kennet & Avon Canal and Sandham Memorial Chapel, the inn offers rural charm with easy access to town and local sights.

A classic country inn with a modern-pub edge — think garden terraces and cosy bars meeting contemporary touches. There are nine air‑conditioned, en‑suite guestrooms with flat‑screen TVs, desks and tea/coffee makers. Expect garden views, a relaxed dining terrace and a warm, slightly eclectic vibe.

Garden and terrace seating, two bars/lounges, complimentary wired and wireless internet, free self‑parking, wedding services, luggage storage and on‑site event facilities. Wake up to fresh country air and convenient in‑room comforts.

Conference centre and meeting room on site, complimentary wired and wireless internet, complimentary newspapers in the lobby and luggage storage — all handy for small meetings and events.

An on‑site restaurant mixes modern international dishes with traditional English pub fare and a specialty in authentic Far Eastern plates. Two bars offer a wide draught and real ale selection; house Chilean reds and whites are value picks. Cooked‑to‑order breakfasts are available, and a full English breakfast is served for guests.
