Went as part of a KGB deal - what a bargain! Beautiful room, massive bed, quaint looking hotel with traditional bar. Well located for trips to Windsor, Reading, Legoland. Ample parking, would return

We have just had a very wet weekend away - The weather let us down, however The Bird in Hand didn't. Our room was modern, very clean and very comfortable. The staff were really friendly and very helpful and couldn't do enough for us, and as for the food - gorgeous! Whether your having the full english breakfast, afternoon tea... More

My partner and I paid £59 for a two night stay. On arrival, we were both impressed with the roaring fire in the Forge Bar, but was less impressed with the service from the young man behind the bar. Our rooms were of a good standard and were spotlessly clean. The rooms were stocked well with tea and coffee etc... More

Nice to stay in a non corporate hotel for a change. Friendly staff, nice bar menu and good beer. Sitting by the open fire of a evening is welcoming. Free wifi. Rooms have been updated and modernised over the years - LCD tv, modern bathrooms etc. Good value for the price.

This is a true favorite of mine. I've never been let down by the beer or the food. Staff (bar one) are always courteous, knowledgeable and helpful.

I have stayed in the "Bird" on many occasions as I often travel to Reading on business and I can honestly say it's one of the best combinations of accommodation, food and beer around. The rooms are all well appointed and comfortable and most are arranged around a central courtyard in a buiding which is separated from the pub but... More

We recently went to dinner at the Bird in Hand. The welcome was warm and friendly and the atmosphere was very pleasant. The staff were friendly and efficient and provided excellent service. The food was exceptional and we will certainly go back for more. We had a lovely evening and would recommend this venue.

Having traveled extensively around the Country it was such a pleasant surprise to come across the Bird in Hand. We were greeted by a pleasant receptionist who made us feel so welcome and was very knowledgeable about what we could see and do in the area. After a day travelling from up north we fancied a well earned drink and... More

Stayed here for 2 nights. Pleasant, modern, good sized rooms. Made to feel very welcome by all of the staff. Breakfast very good. Dined one evening in the restaurant with friends - good food and not made to feel hurried. Hotel was busy but this not affect the service. Bar obviously popular with locals. Stayed here a couple of years... More
