Hungerford is a Berkshire market town with a solid collection of hotels and guest houses, making it a practical base for exploring the area. The nine places to stay range from country house hotels to smaller town-centre inns, with most rated above 4 out of 5. Warner Littlecote House Hotel, which has accumulated over 2,300 reviews, appears to be the larger establishment here, while The Queens Arms and The Tally Ho both score particularly well with visitors despite being smaller propositions.
The town works best as a stopover or base rather than a destination in itself. If you are planning to spend time exploring the wider region—the Kennet Valley, the Berkshire downs, or further afield—Hungerford offers comfortable accommodation and the bonus of a pleasant town to wander through when you are not travelling elsewhere. The boat trips are worth scheduling in advance if you go.
