“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.”

“So sad to leave ....Wonderful stay from start to finish. Room was lovely and very comfortable. Every single member of staff we encountered were professional and very welcoming. Breakfast and evening meal cooked to perfection. I cannot recommd this hotel enough, we will definately return.”

“This place does the best burgers by far in the area. Absolutely love the american style and fully intend to work through the whole menu - please keep doing what you're doing!”

“Came to the restaurant tonight for my Birthday dinner with my daughter and neither of us could fault it . The food was beautifully cooked and presented and waitresses for great too. Thank you so much”

“Alice was amazing — great service from start to finish. This was our second visit, and the Hinds Head is now our go-to for any special occasion. Alice was especially great with my ADHD, making the whole experience even more comfortable. Highly recommend! Family of 7 Amelia my 2 yr old daughter loved the experience also .”

“Great food and amazing service by staff. We regularly visit here and we have never been disappointed. We organised couple of events here and everything has been great every-time. Ankita and Khushboo in staff always go out of the way to make the experience special. Highly recommended.”

“Im not from Reading, so 1st visit. It is in a beautiful location and the pub was a proper traditional pub. Really nice crowd of people, different from London as people on different tables chatting away. The staff where great from arrival until leaving. Lots of dogs, and we had 2 dogs and the staff were very patient. Had the roast which was big and all the ingredients very fresh. I had the Guinness brownie too which was lovely. As an add on, on the Tuesday I realised I had left my sunglasses, speaking to Katie who works there they had been handed in so thank you whoever that was. And thanks Katie on helping me get them back to london to me. I look forward to then next visit”

“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 had a lovely weekend stay as a family of four — myself, my husband, and our two children. The hotel was perfect for us! The rooms were very clean and comfortable, and the service was excellent throughout our stay. A special thank you to Zara at reception — she was incredibly welcoming, helpful, and professional. Her warm attitude really made a difference. We would definitely recommend this hotel to families looking for a relaxing and well-managed place to stay.”

“Had a flyer through my door with great photo's of their Thai food, so I thought I would try them. I thought my Thai Green curry was pretty good but after having one from their menu I was amazed ! it was stunning, so good I went back the following week and then also with the girlfriend and then the following weekend with 2 friends, we were all very very impressed with the superb menu stunning food and great service, give them a try you will not be disappointed.

“We held our company offsite at EPH and their team truly delivered an exceptional experience! The meeting elements were all organised very well and the catering was great throughout. The hotel is stunning with high ceilings, spacious room and modern fittings. We also held a 'Traitors' experience in their dining room which was amazing. Special thanks to Kathy, Sue and Zoe. We will be back!”

“I’ve been here twice now and the staff are really friendly and clearly a strong team. I had the truffle burger and chips option in the meal deal with the room and it was gorgeous. The burger was cooked just right, the chips crisp and fluffy, the mushroom done just right so it wasn’t leaking juice everywhere. Staff were attentive and genuinely seemed to take pride in the service they offered.”

“Bryan I have stayed here reguarly over a 5 year period on business and found it to be an excellent guest house and with a good location. Lovely cooked breakfast. Derrick and Linda are very friendly and accommodating and l would recommend it without hesitation.”

“What a great find , quaint , charming in a beautiful setting , the room was modern with a studio style and the bathroom was wonderful ! We had breakfast on both days which was really cooked well and very good from a budget perspective . I would just like to say a special thank you to Peter the general manager for being a great host , and super helpful . The hotel is in a beautiful village with 3 great pubs , all in walking distance . " We shall be back " Steve and Dawn”

“Robert & Sue are incredibly helpful with all of our guests, looking after them from check-in to check-out and always so accommodating. Lovely apartments in Maidenehad and would 100% reccommend. Even during the pandemic, our guest was taking care of completely, food shopping delivered and a social distancing check-in procedure. THANK YOU!”

“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.”

“Nothing bad to say about this hotel. Definitely staying here again.”

“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”

“The finest pub in East Hampshire. Over 200 years of pouring fine ales, 250 years family tradition. They have excellent food, great local ales and real fireplace.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Highly recommend for private events. Rosie, Claire and team are excellent, highly efficient and organized. They make large parties easy. We've now had two 60-80 ppl events in their private space and have zero complaints.”

“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.”

“*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.”

“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.”
