Top Museum of English Rural Life Hotel Reviews

The Market House

8/10 Good

"Perfect and comfortable 1-night stay enroute from LHR to Penzance. Very short walk from train station. Lots of coffee shops and Bill’s for breakfast. Cosy room #24. Super quiet. Comfy firm mattress. Staff very pleasant. One word of caution: we found the shower and bathroom floor slippery when wet. Also, while the room has a thoughtful natural light feature, there are no outside facing windows (I imagine it’s like the inside cabin on a ship)"

Sure Hotel by Best Western Reading

10/10 Excellent

"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."
