Booked for an event at Wasing Estate. Very comfortable room, good value. Weekday breakfast only til 9 (10 at the weekend) which was a shame. Great selection of tea and coffee in the room. The building is badly soundproofed so you could hear people walking around in nearby rooms (creaky floors) which could be problematic for light sleepers. Plenty of parking.

The accomodation is in a separate building to the public house. Considering that my room was on the ground floor near the pub's patio, it was very quiet. The bed was very comfortable, the shower was excellent with plenty of hot water and the room was relatively cool during the heatwave. Minor gripes - no AC and no fan provided, and no fridge to keep snacks cool. Also the tea and milk was not replenished. However the big plus - they provide good quality toilet paper, instead of the "major breakthrough in cheap toilet paper" that most places use. The booking was a little expensive but I did book at short notice. Would I book again? Yes, most definitely.
