Village Hotel Reading

8/10 Good

"Spent 2 nights here as attending a festival. Booked a room with a balcony which was given to someone else on the first night.... Breakfast was good with quite a few choices but they had run out of gluten-free bread which was a shame. Overall a decent enough stay."

"The accessible twin room was perfect for travelling with my Mum who has limited mobility. It was the first (only?) room on the ground floor. It was spacious and good to have rails by the walk-in shower and toilet. Although my Mum uses a walking stick and not a wheelchair we could see it being perfect for someone who does. We liked the little table and chairs, The hotel is within a short walk from restaurants and shops. The staff on reception were friendly."
