Whenever I'm down that way, the Bird in Hand is always the first place I look for availability. Not the biggest place but then the attraction is that it isn't one of those sterile chain hotels. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, the beds are comfortable, the meals plentiful and the breakfast filling. All in all the perfect stopover.

excellent base for a short break, comfortable well equipped room, good food and on-site parking

Very pleased to find it in a small village outside reading, with several medieval houses and near the river, though not on it. good restaurant and pub, and very busy.

We had a friendly welcome from Jane and her staff. The room was comfortable and breakfast was excellent. The pub closed early on Sunday night, so we had to go elsewhere for food, but it meant a very peaceful night. Strongly recommended!

I am kind of reluctant to write this as I want to keep this little Gem a secret all for myself, but I have to share with you all what a wonderful place the Bel and Dragon is. Right from the start I was greeted by a roaring log fire and a friendly face at checkout, whilst being shown my room the complementary 10yr and 12yr old whiskeys for the guests to sample where pointed out. The room was immaculate and decorated to a very fine finish. The pub its self has a great vibe it was a Weds and...

Staff are always welcoming. Rooms are clean and comfortable and the food is great.

Absolutely fantastic stay in a lovely cosy pub. Staff could not have been more helpful. The room we stayed in was amazing add to this the fantastic food and atmosphere and it all adds up to a memorable stay. We will be back again.

This is a gastropub with new accommodation in what appears to be an old stable block behind, stylishly and sensibly converted. The bed, bath and other facilities were excellent -- and the food even moreso. The bar is well-stocked and the manager knowledgeable about the spirits, the waiting staff are efficient and unobtrusive, and the menus imaginative and well-executed. Breakfast choice and quality was particularly impressive. The particular location is fairly ordinary, but the area is central...

Old building full of character

Beautiful hotel, recently renovated which means they have state of the showers, beautiful throws and proper duvets, spotless white gorgeous bedding, fantastic decor throughout the hotel. The rooms are separated slightly from the fullers pub with a separate entrance. The breakfast was fabulous where you can order from a menu and food is made to order and fresh, included full English breakfast, eggs florentine, pancakes with fruit and maple syrup, porridge with fresh fruit. Fresh fruit and cereals...

Its great to find a hotel you can stay for just one night over the weekend. I was looking for somewhere close to London (34 miles away), with great reviews, good food and accommodation and places to visit nearby. The Bel and Dragon had all of that. The room was tastefully furnished (with free sloe gin - added bonus!) and the hotel was cosy and characterful. We enjoyed a drink in the bar and a great dinner (although I noticed the bar food also looked enticing. There is a snug for hotel guests...

The staff at this hotel are outstanding. The room is stylish but not fancy - good quality furnishings and fittings. The was my second stay and I love it. The food in the restaurant is absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. Just remember access to the car park is behind the hotel and a narrow entrance that you might miss first time! Plenty of spaces though!

Absolutely lovely stay at The Royal oak. Beautifully decorated throughout, with a really warm and homely feel. Staff were welcoming, dinner and breakfast were first-class and my room was spotlessly clean with a great bathroom and comfy bed. Would definitely return, I stayed for work but it would be a lovely place for a weekend away.

Absolutely Outstanding Stay We had a fantastic stay at the Wheatsheaf Hotel in Virginia Water and couldn't have been more impressed. The rooms were beautifully presented, spotlessly clean, modern and exceptionally comfortable. It was immediately obvious that the hotel is very well maintained, with great attention to detail throughout. We had a brilliant night's sleep and couldn't fault the accommodation. The food was equally impressive. The chicken curry was full of flavour, beautifully...

We had a wonderful experience at the Lambert Arms. When we checked in we were met by happy and helpful staff and they even upgraded us to a courtyard view. The staff recommended the restaurant for an evening meal but we weren't sure. We decided to try out the restaurant that night and boy was that the best decision we ever made! The food was sensational....... my wife's chicken burger was "the best I've ever had", my duck was delicious and the desserts were incredible. I recommend the sticky...

Lovely pub with rooms. Went for a friends birthday and had a super time. Staff were very friendly and helpful. I’m coeliac and the choice of gluten free food was very good. The fish and chips were excellent! Would highly recommend.

Lovely location. Cosy room. Friendly staff and locals. Excellent cooked breakfast. Restaurant area looked nice but we were attending an evening function so didn't get to try it out. Would definitely recommend. Lots of parking. Peaceful. Excellent value.
