Arrived early as we were going to a festival, went into the pub/ restaurant first for a breakfast. Waffles & berries was not great, fruit were definitely frozen & looked like mush on presentation, my cornflake chicken burger was luck warm as was my daughter full breakfast. The room were recast early

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.

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.

Reasonable rooms but avoid the restaurant

Previous experience with Green King properties has been negative, so I was initially impressed when checking in. All reception staff were extremely polite and helpful. The room was fairly spacious with a sofa on one side. The room was quite clean, as was the bathroom. The bed was very comfortable, and there was a large TV. The shower has good pressure and maintained a fairly constant temperature. The main negative was the extremely hot temperature; there was only a small fan to help with this. The window barely opened, which exacerbated the problem. The restaurant, however, was awful. Firstly, the table was sticky which makes you doubt the general hygiene within the establishment. Then, you're forced to download yet another app to order food, or join a long and not moving queue at the bar. There was no cutlery in the self serve tray, so they had to be requested from staff, these were dirty when brought to the table. The quality of the food was below average; chips stick together, too much use of the microwave, etc.

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 but tired.

Room was big enough, somewhat tired and dated, bathroom was shower in bath and curtain, room faced the road so not quiet. The mattress was well past it’s best and far too soft for me. The food in the pub was good, as was the service. Would be good if sleep was easier.

The shower was out of order, the sink was almost falling off the wall, and the walls were in a state of disrepair. Unfortunately, the staff were mainly at the pub, which is very nice, they were too busy to attend to guests at the reception at all times.

Liked: Cleanliness
Food was disappointing. Continental breakfast looked very sad. Poor selection of very small muffins. Hot water for tea was only warm. Lunch baguette was inedible - the baguette was as tough as leather. Room was clean and presentable. However, the carpet was threadbare at the entrance to the bathroom. The surface around the sink was damaged. The reception desk was rarely manned.
