The hotel was well presented and exhibited features that created a regal yet elegant atmosphere. The hotel owners were very welcoming and attentive to their guests; ensuring that we were comfortable and supported with whatever we needed. The rooms were unique and beautiful, with a little extra class, which was appreciated. Overall, it was a great stay, and we all look forward to our visit here. Thank you to our hosts and the staff. You should really teach how it's done!

The hotel was aesthetically pleasing and the staff were very welcoming. The food was very good, and overall, one of my best hotel stays ever.

Friendly welcome and we got to choose our room! Liked being shown round and out to the garden so settled in easily after a long journey The location is fab especially if you are walking, or on bike -which we usually are - directly opposite a Beefeater, just up the road from a Park run or large park to run in, on bus route to Reading and buses run frequently. Lovely and clean throughout Great breakfast cooked or continental, fresh milk for your room Secluded sun facing garden to relax in, and you can dawn chorus

There was a rectangular shaped light that went on and off during the night from the garden onto the curtains Blankets seemed old - prefer duvet with sheet Grubby garden furniture and cigarette remains outside

We stayed one night in a quirky little room (No 10), long and thin with the Fire Escape door at the end. Very clean, equipped with tea and coffee etc, spacious bathroom, quiet room over looking a lovely garden. We did need the fan supplied (Thank you) even with the windows open it was warm. Staff were very friendly and helpful, a 10 min taxi drive to the station with regular buses running into town just outside. Comfortable stay.

Bedroom was quirky, clean but small. Our room price didn't include breakfast and we eat elsewhere since we thought £30 was on the steep side for breakfast, but apart from those little hiccups it was a nice stay.

Lovely traditional hotel in a great location in Reading. The room was super comfortable, and we had the best nights sleep in weeks (even with a newborn baby). The breakfast was delicious and a great experience with the traditional dining room setting. The staff were exceptional and so helpful and friendly with us and our kids making us feel welcome and cared for. If we ever return to Reading or the nearby area we will definitely come back here.

We stayed at this hotel as a family for just over a week, while here we suffered a medical emergency. The staff were incredible & ensured we were looked after in a time of need, ensuring our granddaughter could stay an extra few days. Particularly Nazlee went above and beyond for us always. Written on the behalf of my grandparents, I can’t thank you enough for the help and support while we stayed with you! The beds were also extremely comfortable, the showers incredible and the breakfast was lovely too!

There was nothing we could think of that we didn’t like. The only thing we had to point out was about the bed, we were told that due to having several guests one of the beds in the room broke. But it was fine all morning, we went out & the cleaners came in; then later that evening when we came back it was only then we noticed it was wobbly. This isn’t something we would say we “didn’t like”, we were just confused as to how the bed was fine when we went out and wobbly when we came back but we’re told by the owner that it was us and our guests that had caused the bed to start being unsteady.

The host was particularly helpful even before my arrival, as I needed assistance with navigation as I could not use Satnav. After a fraught drive on 2 motorways & despite enjoying the beautiful scenery due to an unexpected detour, I felt relieved to arrive at such a 'homely' looking hotel. Not here the usual long reception desk which graces many chain hotels, but a fine gentleman making me feel very welcome, who carried my bag for me & gave me a choice of two rooms, both on the ground floor. as I'd requested. Such a comfortable bed too & the best nights sleep I'd had for a week and woke to the sound of birds singing. Continental breakfast 1st day but full English on my 2nd morning, before my drive back 'up north'. Such an enjoyable stay so it's 5 Stars from me !

We were able to book in early & leave our luggage as we expected to be out all day until late. A friendly greeting on arrival made us feel that we were not putting anyone out by being so early. Everything was so calm. We had a beautiful downstairs room overlooking the pretty garden.

Can’t really think of anything apart from breakfast seemed a bit expensive as for health reasons I can only have a little fruit and yoghurt and literally one egg & bacon, so a two tier tariff may have been a good option, although I am probably in a small minority so am not complaining.

Great location - easy from motorway, minutes from town and free parking. Good size rooms - clean, comfortable and quiet. Great shower. Friendly, professional and thoughtful welcome - mindful of the weather forecast that said it was going to be very hot, they took extra time to check I was happy with the nice and cool room they'd selected. The whole building is very well-maintained and there is a beautiful, well-looked after garden at the back. I repeatedly use this hotel when visiting family.

I loved the service & friendliness of the staff. I especially liked the owners assistance when I first arrived to connect me with my overseas adaptor and their WIFI. I also enjoyed the Victorian appeal of the hotel and the traditional English breakfast experience.

I would have benefited from knowing what public transport options may have been available nearby to avoid having to secure cabs each time I went into Reading.

Location is great . Nice and quiet. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Didn't have to fight for a space in car park which is a bonus. At the time of my stay breakfast was extra but well worth it imo. Would definitely come bk here when visiting again.

2 petty grumbles, cheap loo paper (sorry pet pev). Trying to get the curtains to meet without a gap ( ground floor room).
