great dining but a few missed amenities
The dining experience excelled with a luxurious lamb shank and impressive breakfast options, including standout sausages. The staff provided attentive service that enhanced my stay.
Some expected amenities were lacking, which slightly diminished the overall elegance of the experience.

wouldn't hesitate to stay there again
The room was cozy with a comfy bed, private bathroom, and a flat-screen TV. I loved the bathroom amenities like shampoo and body soap. They had an electric kettle for tea and coffee. Complimentary biscuits. Breakfast included a delicious veggie shakshuka that I still crave! The staff were super helpful and made settling in easy. We even got help with our bags when we arrived.

Charming stay with great food
Had a lovely stay! Our room was super comfy and cozy. Dinner from the fixed price menu was a pleasant surprise, so tasty! The staff were really friendly and added to the nice vibe. Just a bit noisy at night which was kinda annoying, but it didn’t ruin the experience. The outdoor dining area was a nice touch.

The beautiful garden by the river was simply amazing! 🌼 The room felt a bit cramped but it was charming. I wish there was a mini fridge, though!

Charming old building with a delightful Sunday roast that was worth every penny! Enjoyed a lovely walk by the river nearby and the room was cozy and warm.
Had a laugh dodging the beams in my room. it felt like a game of ‘don’t bump your head’!

It was just a smart choice for a day tour in Reading with good price value. The room had a real boutique feel to it, surprisingly clean and cozy. If you're tall, be careful of the low ceilings!
