"This was my first experience staying a village hotel, weekend stay. For me, it’s essentially a private gym with a hotel attached, probably in the same sleeping accommodation market as premier inn and pricing bracket.
A fee £5.00 payable to use the gym and pool, unless you have upgraded to a club room. Be aware if you like a leisurely evening swim and chill in the jacuzzi the pool closes at 8pm on weekends. Very disappointing , as , had I have known this , i would not have booked the hotel.
Location of hotel is good for days out around Berkshire. Weekdays you’ll need an early start to catch breakfast, as it finishes as 9.00am, Weekends 10.30am.
Breakfast for me was just “ok” No sign of a piece of fruit or yogurt, granola. There was English breakfast, didn’t look particularly appealing , toast and pastries, served in the sports bar / cafe area. Again , nothing hotel like about it. It’s a typical private gym, food area…David Lloyd type of thing.
We had a twin room, very clean and comfortable, powerful shower. Black out blind amazing , you have no idea what time of the morning it is, 0 morning light, but set your alarm, You’ll sleep past breakfast.
Be prepared to ask for an extra bath towel/ hand towel as only 1 of each provided per room.
Carparking £10.00 for 24hrs.
Would I stay again …probably not , but that’s my personal preference. It was outside my expectations of a “hotel with a pool “ stay."
