The pub is on a busy road but the room was set back from the road and there was no issue with the noise. Plenty of parking available. Unfortunately we stayed on a very hot night, and even with the fan provided we struggled to sleep. The room was very small and had strange plug sockets.Tea & coffee making facilities in the room were good. We chose to have dinner at the hotel and were both very pleased with our meals. We found the older staff to be more attentive than the younger ones, who were more interested in chatting to each other. 25 mins from Heathrow - overall a good option if you don’t like staying in airport hotels, just not on a hot night.

Very nice place to stay. The food and drink was excellent. Just a little more expensive than some of the other nicer places we stayed in.

Excellent experience
I was called down to Reading for a business meeting. Unfortunately, i am on crutches at the moment, so needed on site parking which most city centre Hotels did not offer, i booked this hotel as it was only a short distance away from my meeting venue, Iwas greeting and checked in by the manager, he then carried my overnight bag to my room for me, (thank you ). The room was lovely and clean with a vast array of nibbles and a well stocked fridge, suppliments applied. After freshening up i went to the comfortable bar , restaurant and ordered my food, the bar staff took my drink order from the table and brought it to me, the food was first class and very tasty, all in all a very satisfying stay, top marks to the staff, i would definitely recomend thus as a place to stay.

Cosy hotel just 30 minutes away from Heathrow
Beautiful hotel conveniently located just 30 minutes away from Heathrow airport. The hotel staff were very friendly and welcoming. The rooms were tastefully decorated and provided high-quality equipment and products. The breakfast was delicious. Highly recommended.
