Like our room, clean and good amenities. Linens, bedding comfortable. Being in Sonning, always traffic over the bridge which is annoying, because the village is charming. Staff were friendly, willing but not “crisp” in service.

The Hotel is lovely
The Hotel is lovely and the reception staff excellent. The only non 5* part of the stay was in the restaurant where an otherwise excellent meal was blemished by a very gristly steak which was met pretty much with a shrug of the shoulders when pointed out to the serving staff.

Idyllic setting by the river, and in walking distance from The Mill Theatre. Cool decor, very clean, lovely and comfy 'cosy double' room. All hotel and restaurant staff are very friendly and helpful. Restaurant food is tasty - not cheap, but good burgers and delicious range for breakfast. Top tip - book and PAY in advance for your breakfast to guarantee a table and pay the maximum of £17.50 rather being charged for individual items.

Immaculately clean and beautifully laid out room. The free standing fan played a welcome dual role of cooling the room and masking the road noise.
