A very cheerful and helpful welcome which is always appreciated. The Hotel was conveniently beside the A4 and easy to find. The room and bathroom were immaculately clean and comfortable with all the expected amenities. Dining in the Hungry Horse was OK but not exceptional. The availability of a Snacks/Drinks Vending Machine was also a bonus. Would highly recommend.

Good location in the Reading area

Basic accommodation in a convenient location. The car park is a good size and the pub next door has a decent menu for evening meal and breakfast. Also the garage nearby has a co-op store if you need any extra snacks and food. As mentioned it's in a well connected area so I'd probably use again when in the area

Very convenient for my purposes e.g. visiting family in Twyford. It doesn't pretend to be something it isn't and this is reflected in the prices. That said it has everything you'll need, it all works and the food and drinks pub prices and quality.

It was fairly clean. However. Peeling paint, chipped and stained furniture, and a restaurant that makes Wetherspoons look like a 5 star establishment means we won't be back.

Good value for money stopover

There are no frills at the Wee Waif, however this is the 2nd time I've used it as a journey breaker heading west. The bar food, Sports TV and free WiFi give me all I need for a one-night stopover. Will definitely use again.
