"Lovely pub and inn at the heart of the village. The room was lovely, very comfortable! At the end of each day I would arrive back at my room to find a homemade cookie waiting for me; it's these little touches that really demonstrate attention to detail and the thoughtfulness of the staff. It's a Dog friendly hotel, and there was a very cute friendly dog who greeted me as I went to check in. Would highly recommend, and will certainly stay again! Useful hotel for those walking or cycling through...

We had a lovely time and would be back again this was our second visit ;)"

Village Hotel Reading

10/10 Excellent

"All round great experience"

Warbrook House Heritage Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Comfortable room and helpful staff. Our room was in a separate building, and with luggage, it's probably better to move your car to the parking immediately adjacent to the rooms. Our room was on the ground floor and had a glass door to the grassed area outside, which was nice. There's a shorter footpath back to the restaurant and bar through some trees (it's well lit so no chance of getting lost) . There's also a really nice pub nearby, The White Hart. Altogether a very pleasant stay and extremely good value for money."

Novotel Reading Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and comfort room better than expected. Great to have a pool"

Sure Hotel by Best Western Reading

"I took away a star only because it wasn't clear to me that there was no a/c and I happened to be there during a heat wave with temps in the 90s. I was very thankful for the ice machine in the lobby though, just wish I'd have recognized it the first day instead of the 3rd. Staff was always super pleasant and helpful. Location was very nice."
