Disappointed on this occasion
Have stayed several times before and couldn’t fault. However, we were unable to sleep on this occasion due to constant noise that seemed to be coming from every direction. Would not recommend room no 4. Also, we are skipping the shower as didn’t pack a shower cap as thought one would be provided 😞

I had a wonderful stay at the Great House. The room was well furnished with a great bathroom. The setting by the river at Sonning is very picturesque and the Coppa Club for breakfast and dinner works so well.

8/10 Very good

food location, comfortable room
Well appointed, comfortable and quiet room with easy parking. Dinner not worth the money, adequate but nothing special. Service was very good but the management policy of not returning left policy after six months is petty - I left my iphone charger behind on my last stay, called on return home and was told the charger would be retained for my next visit - seems that despite the efforts of the staff to retuen my policy this was stopped due to a management edict citing six months. Very petty and left a sour taste.

Amazing stay
Wonderfully designed hotel and bedrooms, complete with finishing details. Large comfortable beds with working heating provided a warm cosy evening. Beautiful landscape and surrounding views. Would love to visit in the summer and enjoy a ride along the river.
