Rooms are fun and quirky. The bed was big and comfortable. The shower was great, a bit unusual with just a glass panel separating the bathroom and bedroom, but you could make it non-see through. Breakfast is great!

Having stayed in a large chain hotel in Newbury only the night before my stay. The words that come to mind is chalk and cheese. The staff at the Beach were excellent polite well trained and looked to enjoy their jobs. The polar opposite to the night before.
This is a gem and i will be returning in may.

A little village out in the sticks, You need a car to get there.
We stayed at the Beach Arms in Oakley on the main A3400 road,
It isn't easy to find if you go the A303 route as we missed it completely coming from the other side of Salisbury, and ended up in Winchester first.
The best way is to take the M3 and then come off for Basingstoke, follow the signs for Newbury and the A3400 will appear on the signs. It is well hidden.
Stayed in one of the Innkeeper Lodges. Noisy if you stay at the front of the building, but we were right at the back, there is only 22 rooms, we had room 21. Backs onto fields.
The pub had special offer prices, like the Hungry horse franchise, and service was very quick, considering the covid 19 rules. Staff were very friendly and explained it all beforehand. Breakfast is payable and in the pub in the morning.
Oakley itself is very small, like all the villages in the area, it is sprawled out. We didn't cover the village, but I'm sure it must be as pretty as all the other villages around it.
Our hotspot was Winchester - Saturday, busy and bustling, A hotspot for the Covid 19, no wonder considering the way the cafes and restaurants were packing people in, side by side. We didn't dare go in.
Mask wearing there wasn't much to be seen. The Great Hall, what's left of the Winchester Castle is worth a look into our British history. £4 to get in, ideally book online to avoid queues, but the same price turning up at the door. Alot of money, for quite a little to do. Times online are to allow for 30 people in per hour. You will only get in on adhoc if it's not busy. Best to book online
The area of Oakley and villages are difficult to navigate without a satnav, I would avoid it in future for a short trip.

We booked this late in the day purely as a stop over en route to Cornwall. It was cheap because of the late booking and it more than served a purpose. Comfortable room, it was attached to a pub so the evening was sorted. All together I would recommend but book as late as you possibly can!

Keep your eyes peeled for the wonderful wildlife.
Keep your eyes peeled for the wonderful wildlife. On my way up the drive, there was a Green Woodpecker, standing in the verge, a Gold Finch flew in front of the car and landed on the fence next to me. and when I opened my curtains in the morning there was a hare running across the lawn! On my way back down the drive there were two, what I think were grouse right next to the road.
Brilliant Hotel, Clean, helpful staff who cant do enough for you, fab food at really reasonable prices. Would highly recommend. Just going for my 3rrd stay as travel to Basingstoke for work, used to stay at Village hotel but got fed up of limited parking as the gym bunnies take all the spaces, found the Beach Arms by chance and have stayed there whenever in the area for work.
