The location was amazing, however, the rooms are pretty small and the elevator broke the first day we arrived so we had to go up and down 4 flights of stairs every time we went to the room. The amenities were great, water and coffee are offered in the lobby. Staff was friendly but parking is limited and not the best. Would recommend if you don’t plan on spending much time in the room itself.

This is our second time staying at the Newbury Guest House and again, we were quite pleased with our stay, though it was too short. Our room was simple, well appointed and clean; the bath has been updated and well maintained. What we like most about the Newbury Guest house is the very friendly and welcoming staff, from those at the front desk to those sweeping the carpets or changing the rooms. It is a small and intimate place where guests gather in the living room to enjoy a drink, read, chat or play chess. Overall, there is a great vibe in this warm, traditional space which is hard to replicate elsewhere.
