Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently appreciate the hotel's proximity to attractions like The Mill at Sonning, easily accessible by car or taxi, and its convenient location for visiting Legoland, just a 20-minute drive away. The spacious rooms, including family rooms with comfortable single beds for children on a sofa bed, provide good value. While some guests have noted that the facilities appear a little old, many enjoy the convenience of having a pub next door and find the parking ample.

Solid Stay with Convenient Location

clean bedlarge bathroomhelpful staffunsecured toilet
The king bed in my room was very very comfy and tidy. My room was a good size with a large, functional bathroom. The staff were helpful at reception and in the pub (they were always ready to assist).
The toilet rocked slightly from side to side when I sat on it, as it was not properly secured to the floor.
