The Space:
A calm Caversham base with free parking, a 10 minute walk to the station. Ideal for a working week or a soft landing between homes.
Welcome to a bright studio flat in Caversham, the leafy side of Reading just over the river. Compact, well equipped, and easy to settle into.
You know how a short stay usually goes.
โ A cramped room with nowhere to cook
โ Parking that costs a fortune or means circling the block
โ WiFi that drops mid call
โ Nowhere near the station or the shops
โ Hosts who go quiet after check in
โ Photos that flatter a tired place
None of that here.
This is a self contained studio, cleaned by professionals before every stay. Fresh linen, fresh towels, and the basics stocked so you can settle straight in.
๐ ฟ๏ธ Free parking on site
Park right at the flat, free, with no permits and no meters. One less thing to sort after a long day or a long drive.
๐ Rest and reset
A comfortable double, plus a sofa bed, so the flat sleeps up to 3.
Room darkening blinds for proper sleep, central heating you control, and fans for warmer months.
๐ณ A proper little kitchen
Small but sorted: oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, toaster, blender, kettle, and a coffee maker.
Cook a real meal and skip the takeaways. There is a dining table to sit at, and wine glasses for the evening.
๐ถ Set up for work
Fast WiFi and a dedicated workspace. Take the call from the desk, not perched on the bed. Good for remote work, timesheets, or catching up after site.
๐งบ Ready for a weekly stay
Washing machine and dryer, plus an iron, drying rack, and clothes storage. Wash work gear midweek, or keep on top of laundry over a longer stay. Pack light.
๐ถ Right by the river
The Thames and the riverside path are a couple of minutes away, and Caversham centre with its cafes, pubs and shops is a short walk. A calm spot to come home to.

The Neighborhood:
Neighbourhood โ Caversham, Reading

Guests love Caversham for its riverside walks, Caversham Court Gardens, and plenty of green spaces. The area has a real village feel with independent shops, cafรฉs, pubs, and community events, yet all the conveniences of a modern town are close by.
Itโs also very family-friendly, with good schools and a safe, welcoming community. Caversham Heights offers elevated views over the Thames, while Lower Caversham is perfect for riverside strolls.
