Welcome to your cozy city hideaway, just a five-minute walk from Reading train station and the town centre. Whether you're here for work, a weekend getaway, or just passing through, this is the perfect base—comfortable, well-located, and packed with everything you need. It’s not a hotel, but it is a clean, well-looked-after space where you can kick off your shoes and relax. The atmosphere is lively and urban, with great restaurants, bars, and shops right on your doorstep. You’ll love it here. Inside, you’ll find a comfy double bed and a double sofa bed, perfect for stretching out or sharing (We can sleep up to 4 guests). The Smart TV with Virgin Media, PlayStation 4, and high-speed internet means you’re covered whether you need to work (or, let’s be honest, game). Easy self check-in means no awkward key handovers—just turn up and let yourself in. Once you’re settled, step outside and you’re in the heart of Reading, surrounded by buzzing spots to eat, drink, and socialize. The Oracle Shopping Centre is just around the corner, and everything you need is within easy reach. A quick heads-up—there are two flights of steep stairs, so pack light! And if you’re looking for a quiet countryside escape, this isn’t it. But if you want a lively, well-connected spot with all the essentials (plus a few extras), you’ll love it here. It’s looked after like a home, not a showroom, and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Perfect for business travellers, weekend explorers, and anyone who appreciates a great location, solid entertainment options, and a comfy place to crash. Book your stay and make yourself at home! ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: WiFi ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Computer monitor - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - One pet total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Double-glazed windows ## Similar properties ![Private kitchen](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/121000000/120670000/120663200/120663164/91dea8b3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Prime 4BR Reading House & Free Parking Reading - Pet-friendly - Parking included - Free WiFi - Housekeeping £190 includes taxes & fees 16 Nov - 17 Nov [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-16&endDate=2025-11-17&selected=120663164&PinnedHotelID=120663164&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Apartment, Private Bathroom (Garden Terrace - Flat 2) | Miscellaneous](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27260000/27253000/27252916/3f9490ba.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ivory Lodge Reading - Parking included - Free WiFi - Outdoor space 8.6 Excellent 11 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-29&endDate=2025-11-30&selected=27252916&PinnedHotelID=27252916&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Microwave, oven, stovetop, dishwasher](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/120000000/119330000/119324400/119324369/752a8ea1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Central Spacious apartment located in the heart of it all!
