Reading inns

Pros: Great location, warm and welcoming. Beautiful room with lovely good quality furnishings. Evening meal and breakfast delicious

Cons: No wardrobe / place for luggage in room. No problem for one night but would be awkward for longer stays

Pros: Received terrible news but all staff were brilliant..

Cons: All very good

Pros: Staff were great, food was terrific, really enjoyed the all inclusive breakfast. Good value for money

Cons: Narrowest car park I've ever seen in my entire life

Pros: Lovely old world pub & restaurant, with good hearty food & great friendly staff who looked after me while I was staying. It was the type of place where locals & guests were all treated the same (All looked after). A lovely place to stay

Cons: Prices a bit steep ( £4.55 a pint of Beer) but I am from up north, so all the prices down south seem steep compared with what I pay where I live. Ceilings are a low (Very old building), so tall people have to be wary of hitting their heads (But after hitting your head a few times, you learn to duck)

Pros: Exceptional food and service!

Pros: Ambience, comfort, character of the bar and building, choice of food.

Cons: Driving through Sonning village - but not much can be done about that.

Pros: Very cosy and full of character. This is a beautiful pub with well equipped and comfortable rooms. The food was top quality too - clearly very fresh ingredients are being used in the kitchen and they served me the most perfectly cooked eggs at breakfast!

Pros: Very welcoming, friendly and helpful staff on arrival and at breakfast. Lovely feel to the room with all the little extra touches and beautiful decor. A lovely spot.

Pros: Great rooms in old pub and food is good, with an excellent breakfast

Cons: wifi did not work

Pros: food, beer, quality of room

Cons: n/a

Pros: the location is perfect for exploring the local area , we like the idea of using the bull as a centre for further exploration , and will use it again in the future

Pros: Our stay in the Bull Inn was short but memorable. It was a beautiful day so the yard was very busy but fun! Unfortunately we didn't eat in the restaurant so I can't comment on that, although going by the breakfast the food was very fresh and had a good choice! The rooms are nicely decorated and the bed was very comfortable!

Cons: Could have done with a fan in the bedroom! Bathrooms could do with a bit of a facelift!

Pros: Welcoming, comfortable atmosphere. Accommodating and helpful staff. Great accommodation for visiting the Sonning Mill Theatre.Super breakfast !

Cons: Not suitable for anyone very disabled

Cons: Rooms 1 and 2 are situated on the first floor directly over the the main to louge bars....the noise is intolerable if you wish to have an early night,peace and quiet or dont like the tv turned up loud to drown out the noise.Please make customers aware of this when booking at this Pub/Hotel....Both these rooms are classified by the Hotel as Executive rooms....Even taking into account the age and history of the Hotel...this is a joke.Standard Doulble room...absolutely nothing 'Executive' about these rooms.And finally...the parking is a nightmare...the Hotel is situated down a cul de sac lane...its first come,first served with just 8 parking spaces in the car park....if you are planning on going out somewhere at night...you cannot return and find a parking space before the bar closes at 11.30....be warned...after 11.30 you,ll find a space...If you,re arriving after 1800 to check in...you,ll not find a parking space for onloading either...its a nightmare.

Pros: The best breakfast I've had in a hotel this year

Cons: None

Pros: The food was excellent.We had an evening meal on our first night which was very good. The full English breakfast was exceptional and so much we couldn't finish it.The staff were all really pleasant.

Cons: The bedroom was adequate but the bathroom was really small. There was only space for a shower cubicle, a tiny sink and toilet. There wasn't even space to have a good towel dry in there, you had to step into the bedroom to do that!The other problem was the lighting in the room. It was really dim, very difficult when trying to dry your hair or do your make up, however the bed was really comfortable.

Pros: Food, location and general service.

Cons: Not exactly bad .... but accommodation could be cheaper - it is after all a pub, notwithstanding its history.

Pros: Staff were friendly and responsive bathroom was nicely done nice atmosphere in the pub / restaurant good freshly cooked breakfast

Cons: Not much space for guests in the pub car park (lot of it was being used for outdoor seating for the pub). We did find space in the road but we could have been unlucky if arriving later. Despite booking for two people the room was only prepared for one (towels etc) but staff were responsive in sorting. Room size was fine for one night for two people but was on the small size for more than this if staying as two people (virtually no luggage space and we were en route from a holiday so it was a bit cosy)

Pros: Outstanding breakfast, comfortable bed and decent price for the location.

Pros: The hotel is in a good location not too far from motorway links. Lovely refurnished rooms with comfy beds and a top quality breakfast!

Cons: Nothing this is a great hotel

Pros: The staff were very friendly and happy to help with any queries. The dinner and breakfast were amazing. Very good quality and tasted delicious. Lovely restaurant and bar with a nice atmosphere. Location was excellent. Room facilities were of a high standard and beds were very comfortable. Plenty of car parking space available.
