Hotel in Reading

“Found Ashbrook apartments after a search for a weekend hideaway in a wider area. Could not have been more pleasantly surprised. The village of Blewbury is absolutely idyllic and most probably a well kept secret by its inhabitants. The apartments form part of an old barn conversion and have been created very well. The forecourt/parking area is off the main road and the apartments are consequently quiet and secluded. Everything inside was clean and well thought out and the arrangements for the booking and communication could not have been better. Will definitely return when next in the area.”

“Nineteen years ago, we held our wedding reception here, so returned on our anniversary for the night. The Inn has been updated sympathetically, and really enhanced. The room was quirky and well appointed, and the staff couldn't have been any better. Utterly friendly and helpful, and couldn't do enough for us. Supper was delicious, the chap making the cocktails was a delight, and breakfast was spot-on. We won't be leaving it nineteen years till the next visit.”

“We have just had another great evening. Everything was excellent. The welcome, the food and the super friendly service despite being so busy. Thank you all so much and look forward to our next visit!”

“My girlfriend and I loved our stay at The Miller of Manfield, in October. Breakfast was fantastic, the staff were super helpful and friendly, going above and beyond to make us comfortable. We loved the room, the retro-modern decor, the fantastic bathtub and the location, in the village. The pub and restaurant were also great places to come in the evening, with live music one night of our stay and a good atmosphere throughout.”

“Great value for money. Rooms super clean, comfy beds, great breakfast (although a little pricey if you're not that hungry - but if you are, then full your boots!). Very friendly team too!”

“We had a lovely night stay at this lovely hotel. The drive up to the house through the arch way of trees was beautiful. The gardens and views are perfect. The price was fantastic for staying in such a beautiful old historic building. The gardens are wonderful for a stroll after breakfast and there’s a lovely old church In the grounds. It was quiet and peaceful. Food was good and plentiful. My only negative was the room where breakfast was served was very corporate and wished it could have been in the restaurant we ate in the evening as the views are so beautiful and a shame not to see it in the morning whilst eating our breakfast.”

“On arrival a beautiful entrance, we stayed in our own campervan so I can’t comment on chalets. We arrived at 18.30 and reception was closed , the gate code allowed us access , and our pitch was easy to find , each pitch is beautifully marked with a very clear number so there is no confusion, on what’s yours .Site is well maintained, and although there was work in progress, we feel that this can only improve a lovely site with a fantastic lake , walks children’s play area pet and cycle friendly.”

“Date of stay: Sat 13 - Sun 14 Dec 2025. Great experience from booking to departure. Loads of parking space, staff helpful, polite & prompt on our arrival and booking us in. Room very clean, comfortable and well-appointed and at dinner and breakfast there was a great choice. Again, staff very attentive - orders taken shortly after being seated and food came quickly after that. No complaint whatsoever - a great stay/experience & we'll definitely be booking again. Only suggestion: would it be possible for some Electric Vehicle charging points to be installed please.”

“Wesley Gate apartments are clean, modern and comfortable. All apartments are finished to the same high standard with washer dryers, dishwashers, fridge freezers and microwaves. All of them include enough cutlery and crockery for a family of 4 to live. They all have wifi and large TVs. The sofa beds are the most comfortable I have ever slept on. Towels and bedding are included. The guys who run the apartments are very quick to respond to enquiries and are happy to help with any issues that you may encounter. They are secure and safe for you to park, but close to a great little pub and only 15 minute walk from the train station. I would definitely recommend Wesley Gate to others.”

“The friendly and welcoming atmosphere at badgemore Park is first class!! The golf course is one of the best I've played as it is constantly maintained. Highly recommend badgemore.”

“A fantastic place to stay. The staff were incredibly welcoming when we arrived. Had a quick drink whilst waiting for the room (we were early). Great selection of drinks on tap and in bottle. The room was clean and stocked with great facilities (coffee machine, TV, kettle etc etc). We went for a Sunday Roast that night. Although at 1st glance, it may seem expensive, for what you get it is very good value. Truly a huge meal with clearly high quality ingredients (how can you not love roast beef that are basically just 3 very good sized sirloin steaks). The continental breakfast was a lovely treat, showing up in a hamper. A perfect start to the day. There is lots of places nearby to see (we visited Henley-on-Thames and Hambledon Lock). Although the pub is not open Mon/Tues, the staff were more than happy to provide us with recommendations locally to eat. Very highly recommend and look forward to visiting in the future.”

“Very nice. Took about 45 minutes for my food to come out but friends came within 10 minutes. But tasted lovely”

“Booked very last minute when we found ourselves in the area. Had a lovely room with a balcony overlooking the Thames. It was a very hot day but the hotel had catered for this with a quiet Dyson fan and by ensuring the curtains were closed during the heat of the day. Amazing setting, really lovely food. Especially the breakfast menu. Highly recommend.”

“We just had our wedding at Barton’s mill and it was incredible. The staff were amazing and helpful and friendly, the food was delicious and they set up the tables with the decor we provided beautifully. Flo our co ordinator was so lovely and took away our stresses and Chanelle who looked after us in the morning kept us updated and on time with the order of the day. Absolutely worth every penny and a gorgeous venue to hold a wedding.”

“Everyone was so helpful throughout my letting process. In particular Jonathan & Alexandra were excellent. Nothing was too much trouble for them from arranging appointments and always following-up with me very soon afterwards - it really has been a pleasure. I met Anne-Marie towards the end and she was very efficient too. Wokingham you genuinely have an fantastic team and I would have no hesitation in recommending you to others”

“Right from our first contact this team greatly impressed. We had 7 estate agents visit our property, including the cartel, from the outset Denis arrived casually dressed and with a genuine smile not a forced,’we need the business grimace.’ His relaxed air and genuine interest in what we were doing left us with no doubt that we would use Wokingham Northwood. From the house dressing to the superb photographs were all enjoyable and a pleasure we felt that they were getting the job done. The brochure is brilliant. To Denise, Julie, Denis and all the Northwood team in Wokingham a huge ‘ THANK YOU’ it was an outstanding job, excellently executed. BobH”

“My experience with parkway lettings has been fantastic. They went above and beyond to allow me to have my dog with me, as most rented tenancies I found would not allow dogs. Always on hand if I needed help and they made the whole process of my tenancy very straightforward and stress free. Very friendly and approachable staff. Can’t thank them enough for all the help they’ve given me. Highly recommend parkway lettings!”

“Excellent. I loved staying here. Very quiet and reminded me of home. Pleasant experience with Guest Services and reasonably priced. Will stay here again when I'm in the area.”

“*Restaurant review* Food was absolutely delicious. My partner and I shared the camembert special for a starter which was very well prepared and came with plenty of bread relish, garlic and butter. We had the salmon and the pie of the day for our mains which were both enormous portions which we really appreciated. Very well cooked and seasoned. Shared the chocolate torte for dessert as we were stuffed after the generous portions which was also great quality. Service was timely and polite despite it being very busy. Strong recommendation.”

“Really great experience.... Loved the food. I never knew I would like boiled baby potatoes like I did. Either I was very, very hungry or the food was just so very good! I am sure it is the latter as my wife confirmed her burger and sweet potato chips were the bomb too! Never knew we would find such a great meal in a place that was totally unknown to us until just a few weeks ago when we were invited to a birthday party in Marlow. Really highly recommend this pub/restaurant.”

“We needed a campsite to stay following our crossing from Europe on route to visit family in wales. We arrived after 5 so the office was closed but the site team called and explained the process for checkin when we arrived. We were allocated a pitch close to the facilities block but due to the low level and the slight incline of the pitch we were unable to use it. We called the pitch and the team quickly answered and moved us. We were so pleased with the service we have booked to return next weekend. Thanks for the excellent service.”

“This house /home is a wonderful stay im writing this because of your heart. I can Only thank you for everything you did and didn't have to . For this im indebted all my love jamie Claughton ♥️”

“Had Sunday lunch at this attractive inn , great service and atmosphere. The roast beef was amazing and lovely veg. One of us had the Nut roast which was delicious. Good size portions. Would really recommend!”

“Absolutely great little Pub with very well equipped rooms. Food was great especially breakfast. Staff were excellent. Anyone thinking about a place to stay, whilst visiting Bombay Sapphire, should definitely put this place top of the list. Overton is a lovely friendly little village.”

“Me and my girlfriend decided we would try out the food in this fine establishment. We bought a drink at the bar then was taken to our seats to order food. It happened to be steak night and our waiter (Luke) was absolutely amazing, with good old British banter but also very professional. I always get a Rib/eye steak, but like recommended something else by like and I was not disappointed at all. My other half got fish and chips which was cooked to perfection, and oh my god the beef dripping chips are to die for! We will 100% be back, and give Luke a raise because he deserves one!!”

“I'm a regular visitor here for stays with work. Rooms are nicely done out and breakfast bag is sufficient for what I need. Location is great in central Reading. Can be a little noisy from the bar below if you're on a lower floor but it quietens down later on and has not affected my sleep.”

“What a place - it understandably attracts a lot of custom and has a real "buzz" about it!! ... stayed one night and had dinner & breakfast. The rooms are "dated" but clean and quite comfortable. The staff are amazing - don't know how Wetherspoons do it. I interacted with five different staff over our stay and they were all polite, helpful and confidently spoken. Extensive menu and food served within 10 minutes of ordering. The service and value for money can not be faulted - I wish Wetherspoons could run the NHS & country! A great location bang in the centre of the charming town of Henley-on-Thames.”

“Great room, had a breakfast bar area, fridge, nice big shower. Very clean too! - no parking really on the street in front unless it's for like 2/3 hours but there is a rugby club 10 mins walk that let you park for £4 per day which is great.”

“Really nice hotel rooms. Ideal for a business overnight stay. The 1560 lounge and bar in Mansion House was a nice place to dine and relax. Breakfast in the main building was great too. Highly recommend, would go again. Special thanks to Ellie at reception, great customer service!”
