Bow RiverHouse

Bow River House is a small bed and breakfast on Shop Lane in Leckhampstead, near Newbury, run by its owner, Roma, an Australian who has built the property's reputation on personal hospitality rather than scale. It offers three en-suite bedrooms in a converted countryside property with paddocks and stables attached, where guests are sometimes invited to help feed the horses before breakfast. A full cooked breakfast is served daily, with a wide choice of cereals and teas alongside the traditional fried option. The property holds a five-star Gold Award rating from VisitBritain. It sits within reach of Highclere Castle, Donnington Castle and the Watermill Theatre, and free parking is available on site. There is no online booking system beyond third-party travel sites, and stays are typically arranged by phone.
