The Manager is near there when the is trouble and the staff . There is no manager on hand though the night to stop trouble,the restaurant with a pub is next door and the fights that take place is not good. You can talk to the staff till your blue in the face but nothing gets though. Rest my case.

My partner and i stayed here to attend a family party just down the road so the location was spot on! We were checked in swiftly and we had a room overlooking the car park which was basic but had good tea and coffee facilities. The decor was a little tired and the bed far too soft for my liking,...

The hotel was used as we cycled from London to Bristol along the Kenett & Avon canal. It was conveniently situated clean and good value. The large room was clean and the food was what would be expected from a 'steak house' establishment. It is perfect for an overnight stay or for business use; it is nothing special and I... More

My Husband and I booked this hotel for a few days to stay while visiting family down in England. It was in an ideal location, just a few miles out of reading centre and easy to get to off the motorway. Our room was what we wanted. Comfertable bed, clean, tv with free view, wi fi, working shower and bath.... More

This hotel provided a one night stay close to a wedding venue. Plenty of parking on site and friendly staff however the place is in need of refurbishment in all areas. The adjacent public house which is a 'Hungry Horse' is adequate for most although I only had a drink in there. The bedrooms are tired and in need of... More

This I believe used to be one of the the hotels from the InnKeeper's Lodge group. It is situated behind a petrol station with a Co-Op supermarket attached( handy for the midnight snack run). Next Door is one of the " Hungry Horse" pubs. These serve a good selection of well priced food that caters for most palletes. The pub... More

We'd booked here as it was the closest accommodation to the venue for a friend's birthday party. Having read some of the reviews, we were a bit worried about what we would find... but actually is was fine. The rooms were spacious and the beds were very comfortable and clean.

Probably the worst food I've ever been served in a restaurant. The dinner was shocking and the breakfast was sparse. Won't go back.
