Stayed one night, had dinner and breakfast. The room was a classic tired English hotel bedroom with modernised but still small bathroom. Shower had good pressure but made a terrible racket when running and temperature varied wildly. Bed had cheap mattress but adequate comfort. Small, low old telly with set top box underneath so it could not be operated by... More

We have eaten at the Great House Regatta and Ferryman's restaurants several times since Christmas. The food is beautifully prepared and cooked and the chef extremely helpful with dietary requirements (I am diabetic and allergic to onions so must have caused him something of a headache). The waiting staff who are mainly Eastern European are extremely efficient and very helpful.... More

Have just returned from this beautiful hotel. We booked an executive room as it was a special occasion and were not disappointed. The room was very big and had every facility we could have asked for. We also visited The Mill at Sonning which is just a stroll away-just as well with the snow! Breakfast was very tasty and the... More

The room we were assigned was massive and pleasantly decorated. It was spotlessly clean but lacked any character, which was a shame. Breakfast was very good and the evening meal was well presented and very tasty - couldn't fault it.. I can't see how the other reviews slated the food - our experience was excellent. The bar area is like... More

A poor experience - anonymous room with furniture that appeared to have shrunk, so it no longer filled the space; two near empty pillows; blankets not duvets; early morning grass cutting outside the window; a maze challenge to find breakfast, badly tuned tv. On my blacklist which is a pity as the Mill was great. More

I have had a look at some of the other reviews about this hotel and honestly cant believe them. I had a lovely stay here and the staff were very welcoming. The food was outstanding, however, a little bit pricey. Rooms are clean and comfortable, free wifi throughout the complex was also a added bonus that many of the large... More

The room was excellent. The receptionist on our arrival was very helpful especially as we were early. However,in the evening, when we wanted to get into the hotel to go to the bar at 9:30pm the door was locked. Eventually we were allowed in by a surly young man who seemed reluctant to serve us drinks. On our departure the... More
