Great location for the Mill at Sonning and beautiful river walks on the doorstep. Good size room, comfortable bed and very clean all round. We had dinner and breakfast (which you have to book both separately, so book early) and the food was excellent. The wine is rather pricey!

The room was lovely very clean and very spacious. The hotel is very pretty and situated by the river . The let down was the restaurant. We waited 20 mins to get a drink and the staff were very uninterested and the food was only average.

6/10 Good

Reception good. All staff I dealt with were pleasant and helpful. Room was disappointing. Dual aspect but window frames are metal with peeling paint - difficult to open on one side and impossible on the other. There was a nice looking bathroom. Deep roll top bath but since I am in my 70s and waiting for hip surgery not practical. Shower over bath so washing at the sink for two days. 17 deg at night and the large heated towel rail was on 24 hours a day. Room overlooked the xar park on both sides. Almost unbelievably net curtains were hung on the INSIDE of the room rather than against the window

Mid heatwave and they thoughtfully had fans running in the room before our arrival to keep the temperature down and extra water in the well stocked fridge. Slept like a baby.

Beautiful cosy double room full of amenities, mini bar, fridge and Nespresso machine, and fresh milk! Lovely modern bathroom. Rooms hot in the heatwave we are experiencing but a fan was provided and I took my own. Hotel provided extra bottled cold water to help which was a nice touch. Loved the local honey given as a gift in the rooms. Had dinner and breakfast. Both very good. Lovely staff team too. Would highly recommend

Reception staff were friendly, & gave me a ground floor room on request. The room was refurbished to a good standard, clean and well appointed with a great shower room. The hotel has good vibes with the Coppa Club & really attentive staff. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay, lovely location for a 24 hour break.

It was a lovely hotel and the room was gorgeous. We enjoyed a nice drink by the river as the sun was setting and it was so picturesque. However, we stayed during 32 degree heat, and there was a fan but it was still so hot in the bedroom. The bathroom had no air conditioning and it was unbearable to use the bathroom during the heat. Apart from this, it was a lovely stay and I would stay again.
