The carpet was riddled with stains, the room smelled musty, the bathroom toilet lid had permanent scratches that made it feel dirty, the walls were marked with stains and scratches, the ceiling was damaged, and there were termites or flying ants inside near windows. Again, staff was so kind. ##### Celeste Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heather 5 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Absolutely beautiful, great food, super clean....would definitely stay again! ##### Heather Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris 9 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I liked the friendly staff and the delicious restaurant. ##### Chris Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 9 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Fantastic hotel, amazing (5 star) food, friendly staff, highly recommend to anyone looking to stay 🙌 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Craig C 22 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Nice room, service and food.

The staff are all very friendly, food is excellent (both dinner and breakfast), plentiful parking. We stayed in an executive room this time - we liked the extra space and would book this again. Last time we were there we were helping some friends who had suffered a tragedy that day, and I managed to knock over a large G&T. Even without knowing what we were dealing with, the lady behind the bar calmly cleared up the mess and sorted a fresh one - no charge and no judgement. We really appreciated her kindness. ##### Rachel Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Hind's Head](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-The-Hinds-Head.h4461433.Hotel-Information) > > [The Great House, Sonning, Berkshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-The-Great-House-At-Sonning.h4262991.Hotel-Information) > > [Northlands Farm & Lakes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chichester-Hotels-Northlands-Farm-Lakes-Premium-Chalet-1.h37797465.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [The George Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-The-George-Hotel.h1834.Hotel-Information) > > [The Wee Waif Reading by Greene King Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-The-Wee-Waif-Reading-By-Greene-King-Inns.h1740996.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information) > > [The Six Bells](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-The-Six-Bells.h91349201.Hotel-Information) > > [The Swan at Streatley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-The-Swan-At-Streatley.h36990026.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Manchester-Airport.h26104.Hotel-Information) > > [Urban Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bournemouth-Hotels-Urban-Beach-Hotel.h2814369.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Stoke on Trent](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Stoke-On-Trent.h6788.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury caravan at Butlins Skegness](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-Luxury-Caravan-At-Butlins-Skegness.h36376338.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheltenham Chase Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Delta-By-Marriott-Cheltenham-Chase-Hotel.h9657.Hotel-Information) > > [Etrop Grange Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Etrop-Grange.h49116.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakeside Lodge with 6 berth hot tub and private fishing peg](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lincoln-Hotels-Delightful-Lakeside-Lodge-With-Hot-Tub-Private-Fishing-Peg-With-Stunning-View.h27123912.Hotel-Information) > > [Saltmoore](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-Raithwaite-Sandsend.h4276816.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Colchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colchester-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Colchester.h14251.Hotel-Information) > > [Ox Hotel Manchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Milton-Manchester-Hotel.h18787802.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Wokefield Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-De-Vere-Wokefield-Estate.h1044123.Hotel-Information) > > [Splash Landings Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-Splash-Landings-Hotel.h1160988.Hotel-Information) > > [The Derwent Manor Boutique Hotel ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Consett-Hotels-The-Derwent-Manor-Boutique-Hotel.h9535.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Warwick](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warwick-Hotels-M40-J15-Warwick-Hotel.h10444.Hotel-Information) > > [The Mill House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-The-Mill-House.h1381791.Hotel-Information) > > [Wychnor Park Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burton-On-Trent-Hotels-Wychnor-Park-Country-Club.h1927715.Hotel-Information) > > [Caverswall Castle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stoke-On-Trent-Hotels-Caverswall-Castle.h23959535.Hotel-Information) > > [Makeney Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Belper-Hotels-Makeney-Hall-Hotel.h1206529.Hotel-Information) ---
