    luxurious dining
    attentive staff
    lacking amenities

    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.

    cozy room
    helpful staff

    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.

    accessibility issues

    The charming decor of the Bull Inn gave me a delightful sense of nostalgia, making it feel like a warm hug from my childhood. Each detail added to the quaint atmosphere that I simply adored.

    More accessible parking options would be helpful.

    noisy nights

    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.

    missing fridge

    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 building
    delicious roast
    low beams

    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’!

    cozy room
    friendly staff

    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!
