A lovely place with a beautiful garden to the rear. Easy to find and very quaint. My colleague and i ate in the restaurant and the food was great.
Highly recommend if staying in the area
A grand building set off a main road in a quiet village. Good parking in the front with additional parking in the rear if required. Very clean and well decorated in the reception area as well as the bar and lounge. I was warmly greeted and shown to my room. A very tasteful set up with a stylish bathroom. My room gave me a view of the front. The king sized bed allowed for a good night's sleep. There are plenty of dining options just a few miles around with Reading and Basingstoke in close proximity. Breakfast was cooked to order and was made with great ingredients and got my day off to the right start. Would look to stay here again if possible.
It is quite amazing owners and incredibly friendly staff and it’s homely . A lot of thought has gone into room decor and just nothing corporate about it

A hidden gem!!
Great little traditional hotel in lovely countryside south of Reading. We had a huge room at the front,huge flat screen tv great big bathroom couldn't fault it apart from the doors not closing and locking properly! Good breakfast in lovely dining room overlooking a beautiful garden and river. Coffee could have been a freshly machine made or a cafetiere nobody around to see if we needed anything extra,like more toast! Will definitely come back!!!

Good space and facilities in room. Nice food and great staff attitude. Opening windows are good! Some facilities like towel rail needed updating.
Stayed for 2 nights whilst on business in Reading. Very comfortable room, great food and staff are so friendly.
I arrived late on the first night so Mark made me an off the menu snack which was very much appreciated.
A big thank you to Sue - my car had a flat battery in the morning and she leant me jump leads and helped try to start my car - all sorted in the end and I'm very grateful.
Would definitely stay again.
From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed, taken to my room and told if I need anything to ring reception. Breakfast this morning freshly made and the lady who served me was so friendly and went above and beyond.
Great service, prompt fix on TV good rooms and good location, evening meal and breakfast superb. Definitely stay again when in location or even when working in Basingstoke.
This was our second visit to this hotel. The hotel is spacious and clean with beautiful gardens with a pleasant outdoor seating area. The staff are friendly and helpful and you can tell they care about their customers. The breakfast was also excellent. We will definitely visit again.
Good reception. Room very hot, window opens about two inches. Both bedside lamps not working. No sockets by bed. Socket by desk not working. Shower not draining almost overflowing on completion. Tea and coffee and biscuit were fine.
Beautiful property with a few rooms. More of a wedding venue with nice back garden and large dining room . Our room was large. Some toilet and shower issues but not a deal stopper. Spotty Wi-Fi . About 40 minutes from Heathrow. Not too much else nearby - we stayed as staging area to get into Heathrow and to avoid chain hotels. Priced appropriately in my opinion

Disliked: Staff & service
Lovely setting in a convenient location, rooms and furnishings are a little tired and rooms need some TLC, although function fine.
Had a staff member walk into my room, without knocking - he carried on describing the room to a potential guest and pretended not to see me lying on the bed !!! a mumbled non apology and nothing was mentioned afterwards when he was querying my breakfast timings, very uncomfortable - won’t be staying again.
