Pet friendly establishments in Reading

“One of the nicest hotels I’ve stayed in for some time. The kindness and helpfulness of the staff is one of the outstanding qualities of his hotel. The breakfast is on par with most Michelin star restaurants. We stayed in a suite in the House Building. Quality of the furnishings, the style and the cleanliness were exceptional. . Everything was chic but luxurious . I am now looking for reasons to return to Reading so I can stay here again .”

“We had a function in the pub and it was a great experience. We had a dedicated function room separated from the main pub. The atmosphere both in the pub and in the function room are really lovely and the fireplaces give just the perfect place for a cosy dinner. Food was truly amazing. Great portions and quality food from the appetisers throughout the meal. Tagliatelle were cooked to perfection and the sea bass with the lemon sauce was mouthwatering. All through the meal, the sauces were just amazing. All the staff was really friendly and we had a great night out.”

“The initial review, submitted on Friday, conveyed dissatisfaction regarding a £75 charge for an early check-in, which was two hours prior to the standard check-in time. It is important to clarify that only one room was booked, not two. Furthermore, our arrival was not at 12:30; however, the primary reason for the negative review was the perceived rudeness of the individual I spoke with over the phone. Moving forward, following my stay at the hotel on Saturday, I was granted both an early check-in and a late check-out, which was greatly appreciated. The staff demonstrated exceptional professionalism and hospitality. The hotel maintains a high standard of cleanliness and offers a diverse selection of culinary options, including a main menu and a breakfast buffet. I highly recommend this establishment and would certainly choose to stay here again. My sincere thanks to the entire team for their accommodating service.”

“One of the best restaurants in Reading I have been to so far. The prices are bit a higher, but well worth the price. Even though we had Christmas there the service was super quick and about 40 people were served under 5 minutes. The food presentation was outstanding, and the food was tasty. Free onsite parking. Having said that it is worth spending time here.”

“We arrived at 4. Just found a space as the car park also serves several retail outlets and restaurants. But if had arrived a little later, there wouldn't have been an issue, with ample parking later on. The room was large, clean and comfortable. The bathroom had a bath and shower. There are eateries, including Nandos and Burger king outside, but there were queues outside the door so we opted to eat in. The menu was extensive and catered for everyone. The food was tasty and fresh. Recommend the burgers and chocolate torte”

“Lovely hotel and the themed suites are pricy but a novel treat if you want some space with a different ambience. Fantastic breakfast. No parking on site but there is a multistory on the opposite side of reading train station, so it's only a five minute walk. Great location of you want the reading night life.”

“Have stayed a few times. Always very friendly service and clean room. great value for money. Decided to have a bit of a works get together. 12 of us had great food. (it is very good). Happy friendly service. Would recommend the place and somewhere to stay so you can have a drink and enjoy yourselves.”

“I was staying in the Premier Inn last Wednesday/Thursday night and every morning when I came in for breakfast the young lady always greeted me with a smile and was very friendly. You could see she was rushed off her feet as she was working alone when everybody was all coming in at once. She always put the customers first and despite her other colleagues watching her instead of helping her. She work really hard and even managed to say bye to me as I was walking out the door. Great services by Natacha despite being on her own.”

“Amazing staff! Thank you for the excellent service and support during our stay at Holiday Inn. As an IHG Club member, I truly felt appreciated. The rooms and bathrooms were spotless, making our stay very comfortable. Dinner was excellent — the sea bass was especially vibrant, fresh, and delicious. My family was so happy with the food and service. Breakfast was also impressive, with a wide spread to choose from. Overall, a fantastic experience, and we look forward to staying again.”

“Great location in the centre of Reading. The staff are friendly and helpful. The gym is open 24 hours, which is a great bonus. Parking is a little expensive, but that is expected for a hotel in the city centre. You will need to park a 2 to 3 minute walk from the hotel in a very secure car park. Make sure you visit reception first and scan the QR code for 40% off parking, as it is definitely worth the saving. You can also pull up outside the hotel to drop off your bags and scan the code. The rooms show a small amount of wear and tear, but they offer good value for money and I had an excellent night’s sleep. I would happily stay here again. Plus point, the lobby area is very stylish and welcoming for a drink in the evening.”

“Such an amazing experience. Right in the heart of Reading. Shops, pubs and restaurants within walking distance. The beds were so cozy they were hard to get out of in the morning. The staff was always fun and helpful and upbeat!!! Not just one member, it was everyone I came in contact with. You absolutely can not beat the price per night!!”

“Lovely two nights stay at the Caversham Bridge. Rooms were very comfortable and clean. Breakfast was very good with a great choice. All the staff were very friendly and attentive.”

“Visited Heckfield Place for the second time this year, and the experience was every bit as impressive, if not more so, than our first stay last year. This place will always hold a special place in my wife and I’s hearts, and even objectively it stands out as one of the top-tier establishments we’ve ever stayed at. From the room quality and finishing to the food and breakfast offerings, every detail is beautifully executed. This time we had the privilege of dining at Hearth Restaurant, which was absolutely outstanding. The service was impeccable from check-in to check-out; there wasn’t a single thing you could fault them for. We also loved walking around the lovely grounds, enjoying the afternoon tea and cake service, and relaxing with drinks in the intimate Moon Bar. Everything felt seamless, from the interiors to the setting to the hospitality. In short, Heckfield Place is exceptional in every sense, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit.”

“Simon & Jason are celebrating 20 years since they opened the Wellington Arms & it's packed every day when open with regulars & new 'word of mouth' clients. 10 out of 10 for quality of food, service, atmosphere & beautiful garden & surroundings. Great menu & daily dishes that made it difficult to choose. I had the 2xbaked cheese souffle stacked with a mountain of finely grated parmesan & my friend had scallops (both simply the best) followed by perfectly cooked calves liver on a bed of mashed potato & leeks with pancetta & perfect mix of herbs then their home-made ice cream.”

“Very nice gammon & mustard sandwich on white bread, with salad and chips. Nice relaxing atmosphere. Nice tables and chairs.”

“Our cat Peanut came back after many days and nights out with a smashed in face and covered in blood. At Drove they wired up his jaw and fixed him up perfect very quickly and now he has a normal cat face. We were very pleased and happy. The little wire can just be seen at the bottom of his jaw in the picture taken shortly afterwards.”

“We had a great room with nice and high ceilings. Towels, Tea / Coffee and fridge all provided. Super comfortable beds. Breakfast had to be pre-booked before 8pm but it was exceptional, the chef's service and food was perfect. Actually had one of my best hot chocolates ever! We had dinner the night before really large list of options fully catered for veggies and vegans which was great to see. Would recommend staying here and having some food too. Not much around for convenience shops so stop on the way in for what you may need.”

“Friendly attentive staff. Delicious food. Help with choice of wines. Excellent service. Well appointed refurbished rooms. Located in a nice area. Car required. Dog friendly.”

“The service here is absolutely brilliant - that is what hits you when you arrive first arrive. We were welcomed by Peter - who is an absolute master of his craft and so charming. Our lunch was delicious and the whole atmosphere was just perfect on a really grey and damp Saturday lunchtime. We will be back soon. Thank you”

“We took a party of 47 oldies and volunteers for a day trip to Henley on 11 June - a river boat trip along the Henley regatta course and on to the Baskerville Arms in Shiplake for a wonderful lunch and a relaxing afternoon in their beautiful pub garden before the coach trip back home to Farnham. Graham and Gill were so helpful in advance of our visit - creating a special menu and endeavouring to meet specific needs. And on the day all food was served in good time and efficiently by a team of happy and willing staff with everybody getting what they had advanced ordered. So many positive comments from our oldies - they want to go back next year!! Graham also ensured that the coach could park right outside the pub making life so much easier for everyone. Thank you for a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️++ service and meal.”

“What a delightful experience - pre Christmas family lunch on Sunday 14th December. The new owners have done a great job. Food was excellent, service equally welcoming. Have been visiting the Stoke Row area for around 15years now - this was the best lunchtime/ dinner we have had - great value and quality. Thanks”

“Brilliant little find on the way back up north from the coast; lovley menu with items you won't find in the average pub. Food was fantastic, the pork rolled roast being a total hit with me .. this would be our regular if we weren't 3hrs away ..”

“Attended a wedding on Sunday 14th December. Darren was our server. He was very polite, friendly and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and everything was fine. Was more than happy to answer any questions we had. He is a credit to Audrey's wood. A great member of staff you have.”

“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.”

“Stayed for the night following a friend's birthday celebration. Warm welcome on check in and everything explained regarding breakfast and checking out. Beautiful large room for 2 of us to share, everything you could need to make a comfortable stay. Bathroom with a large walk in shower, looked fairly new and sparkling clean. Comfy beds and a fabulous breakfast in the morning. Perfectly poached eggs. The evening meal was lovely everyone was impressed with their choices and portion sizes were fabulous for the price. Staff were happy to add a candle to our friend's desert for us. Definitely would recommend and would stay again if in the area.”

“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.”

“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”
