“Nice location near motorway but country setting. Good chef and brewer pub next door with hilariously grumpy manager. We didn't interact with him but he made basil fawlty look friendly... great entertainment! Single put up bed in room super comfortable! On the whole, pretty spiffing! (Grumpy pub manager was highlight though!)”

“Bought a wardrobe last week and it was great experience in the shop as they had good quality products to choose from and staff were really helpful. They even kept my kids occupied while we making a decision. Definitely recommend this shop”

“Lovely good quality stock. Customer service colleagues could be more careful with what you buy. We had towels and after scanning them the guy just screwed them up. This is not the first time this has happened or the first branch”

“We had a partial bathroom refurbishment and are very happy with the service provided and the result. Gary (the owner) provided a design plan at the beginning and a list of product info attached to the quote, which was very helpful to make a decision; he agreed to do a partial bathroom revamp to meet our budget needs. We had a brand new bath, digital shower and waterproof panels installed, and are very happy with the quality and excellent finish.Gary and his team did a great job from start to finish, and we cannot wait to have the rest of the bathroom revamped in the near future!”

“Pleasant, helpful service from all staff members. Convenient location. I visited on a hot sunny weekend and each time I returned from a day out there was no trouble finding a parking bay. Good car parking facility. I can't comment on food as I did not eat there. TV, kettle and drinks facility, shower gel and towels provided in the room. Also provided was a fan, thankfully, as was a heatwave, so it was a blessing indeed. No hairdryer or iron, but I understand you only had to ask at reception if one was required. Good shower. Bed was OK, but didn't like the pillow at all and the loo seat was askew and needed fixing, but good room at a good price deal for three nights. I would stay again as there were no issues and it was very handy for the railway station for Windsor & Eton.”

““IKEA Reading offers a great shopping experience every time. The store is well-organised, clean, and easy to navigate, with a fantastic range of products on display. Staff are always approachable, friendly, and happy to help, whether it’s finding items or offering advice. The checkout process is smooth, and the food court is a lovely bonus after shopping. Overall, the team at IKEA Reading make the whole visit enjoyable and stress-free—thank you for the excellent service!””

“We spent a delightful Christmas week at The Elephant, using it as our home base while visiting family in Caversham. Spacious, quiet room and well-appointed bathroom (with oversized heated towel rack which came in handy for wet walking clothes), and delicious meals, both breakfast and dinner. Easy access to trains to London, as well as walking paths. Very pleased with our stay!”

“Yemi the sales consultant was very helpful. She saw my mum looking a bit lost and came over to the rescue. She was very polite, happy, patient and funny.She did an amazing job and my mum finally got the table she wanted. ??”

“Really good stay, room and bedding was clean and fresh, TV needed retuning but didn't bother me. Noise of M4 can be heard of your on the back of the hotel so front rooms probably a bit quieter.”

“This isn't that bad. Clean, but a bit tired and in need of a refresh.
No AC, so it gets very hot.

It was very cheap. You get what you pay for!”
