    Had a comfy room overall, but that bleach smell was a bit rough, eh? the safety light above the door was bright as hell at night!

    cozy vibe
    charming staff
    bleach odor
    inconvenient service

    Here’s what you need to know

    While the rooms have a cozy vibe, I encountered significant issues. A strong bleach odor permeated the space, hindering relaxation. the breakfast service felt unprofessional, with staff appearing inconvenienced by guests. Expect a frustrating payment process with pending transactions that linger longer than necessary.

    cozy sitting area
    free wi-fi
    bright safety light

    I had a grand stay, really enjoyed the cozy sitting area and all the free Wi-Fi in the room. But sure, that safety light above the door shone so bright all night, it was a bit of a nuisance! Still, I’d consider coming back.

    charming lakes
    cozy vibe
    tasty breakfast
    slow payment process

    Had a great time with friends! We soaked in the charm at the local lakes, especially enjoying water activities at the Reading Sailing Club. The hotel’s bar/lounge was perfect for winding down. Free Wi-Fi kept us connected, and breakfast had some tasty choices to kickstart our days. The vibe was cozy, adding to our laid-back adventure.

    One downside was the payment process. it took a while for transactions to finalize. It could be a bit frustrating when you're eager to get out and explore.

    unique stables
    free wi-fi
    dinner richness
    breakfast service
    pending payments

    The converted stables offered such a unique vibe. cozy and charming while nestled in the countryside. I enjoyed the warm atmosphere, perfect for unwinding with a sitting area that felt inviting. Free Wi-Fi worked like a charm, keeping me connected with no hassles. While the dinner was generally good, it felt a tad too rich for my taste. The breakfast, however, left a bit to be desired. It seemed the staff felt inconvenience when attending to breakfast service. I found it frustrating that my room fee went into pending for days, making it feel like I was double-paying for my stay. And oh, the bed! It sank in the middle, which affected my sleep quality. I also noticed some charming décor throughout the premises, which added character to the stay, but a few parts of the room, like the lamps and towel rail, could use some attention for maintenance. All in all, the experience had its highlights and challenges, making it a mixed bag for me.

    location
    bleach smell
    tight sleep

    the room was clean and comfy for the most part, and it had a nice vibe to chill after a long day. the breakfast was decent too, kinda laid back which i liked. also, the staff were friendly and helpful when i asked for local tips. location was cool, not too far from the city. overall, pretty cozy place!

    but the bedroom reeked of bleach which was super annoying, and the safety light above the door kept me up all night.

    The ambiance is steeped in history with a charming 16th-century pub vibe that gives off a cozy, inviting feel. Breakfast is a standout, featuring delicious options that make for a great start to the day.

    The bleach smell in the rooms was notable and took away from the overall experience. the comfort of the bed left something to be desired, as it sank in the middle, affecting sleep quality.
