Positive: We stayed here as an affordable option for the Reading Festival - Pangbourne train station a 5 minute walk and 2 stops from Reading. Hotel was great - our twin room opened onto a Church green which was super peaceful, church bells aside. Staff were lovely, great food in the bar on our first night, very comfortable beds and well equipped. Only bugbear was the children playing football on the green on the Saturday morning at 7am - there was a wedding party taking over the place when we checked out and it looked like a lovely place for a wedding booking! I would stay again and explore the area, lovely town with lots to offer in its own right.
Negative: Nothing at all to complain about - except for the noise early Saturday morning, but that was due to the wedding guests arriving and small children playing outside our room.
Summary: Fantastic place and excellent value for money - we would stay again, lovely reception staff and very accommodating.

Positive: Lovely annex room. Direct room access to the safe enclosed garden was lovely. It was dog friendly with a dog bed (on which we could put his own bedding). The bag of treats and a ball provided was a nice touch. Dinner and wine (4 Adults and 1 toddler) in the restaurant was very good indeed and sensibly priced. The Hanger Steak was excellent. The children's meal was also good.
Negative: The toilet kept running after use and had to be manually stopped. The shower didn't drain properly so you were standing in over an inch of your own grey water. This was reported day 1 of our 2 day stay but nothing appeared to have been done about it. We'd suggest the plumbing is reviewed. Serving hot poussin, with a pot of gravy on the side, on a tile is not really a sensible idea. Perhaps if you matched dishes to the menu item rather than serve virtually everything on tiles would be useful.
Summary: A good stay and overall a nice hotel. We would probably stay here again.

Positive: Great location close to Pangbourne train station, only a couple minutes walk. Good breakfast.
Negative: Incredibly creaky bed that kept waking us up. Arrived at 9.30pm on a Sunday. Was disappointed that no food available, but thought it was incredible that they had closed the bar and cashed up early, so we couldn’t even get a drink! Not great after a long day travelling, then bad night sleep due to old squeaky bed.
Summary: Good location, very uncomfortable bed.
