About The Furze Bush Inn
The Furze Bush Inn occupies a rural spot on Ball Hill, surrounded by the Berkshire countryside that lies between Newbury town centre and Highclere Castle. It's the kind of setting where a garden and outdoor seating area make sense, giving guests somewhere to sit outside rather than just pass through on the way to the racecourse or the castle grounds.
Rooms are en-suite and air-conditioned, with drinks available in room and accessible options for those who need them. The inn runs on 24 hour reception, so arrival times aren't an issue, and there's luggage storage for early check-ins or late departures. A restaurant and bar sit at the heart of the property, serving breakfast and meals that include options for children, while meeting rooms cater for anyone combining a stay with work.
Free on-site parking makes the countryside location easy to manage, and free WiFi covers the practical side of a stay. Beyond the inn itself, the area offers a golf course, entertainment, and further pubs and restaurants nearby, alongside the well-known draws of Newbury Racecourse and Highclere Castle a short distance away.
