6/10 Good

Nice country pub with accommodation

Accommodation was fine for a an overnight stay. The staff were very nice and helpful. Travelled there by train, would have helped if I'd known the hotel was some distance from the unmanned station of Aldermaston, with onsite taxi service and I was unable to grab a cab.

10/10 Exceptional

What an amazing find! This place is a joy to stay in. We had a four poster bed which was spacious and firm, perfect for us. Being an old building there is no air con and so the Dyson fan was a nice touch and well needed. The creaky floorboards added to the charm but take note if that’s not your thing. Both dinner and breakfast were delicious and well presented, water, fridge and coffee machine in the room meant we felt very looked after. Would recommend and definitely stay here again.
Cheryl, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We had a lovely stay. Relaxed and fun. Staff super friendly and helpful. Food was excellent. Only dropped a star as we had a main course and shared a pudding which took over 2hrs all in all. We laughed about it, I can only assume there was a drama in the kitchen and that's 2hy we waited so long. Still, doesn’t put us off, we'd stay again

Hinds Head stay

Excellent venue. Staff were really friendly and courteous. Good beer. Lovely evening meal. We were there on a Tuesday night which is quiz night. Really good fun and entertaining. Breakfast was also excellent. Would not hesitate to stay at the Hinds Head again if we are in the area
Brian, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very pretty, clean and well equipped room in a beautiful Country Pub setting. Good selection of breakfast items (I didn’t have the cooked breakfast) Lovely, warm room with fab shower. There was a quiz night when I was there but nothing could be heard from the room. Very friendly staff. Couple of very small things to note, The room I was in got very noise when traffic started to pass along the road to the front. Toaster in breakfast room took about 4/5 goes to even warm the sour dough bread. I did mention this and was told they were aware. Water in the earn used for tea wasn’t hot enough for me personally.
Teresa, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Not bad

Nice place to stay. Shame about the dry pie. Breakfast bacon was dreadful. Like eating raw salt.
Andy, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Good enough location but tired decoration.

Nice enough pub. (Although £32.00 for 2 pints and 2 double vodka and Coke is a tad on the expensive side) The public areas on the way to the rooms are very tired and need painting / new carpet. The room we were in (4) was ok except for the iron having a damaged plug and the water in the shower and taps being dangerous. If you run the water every 10 seconds or so the water stops and then starts again and it’s scalding hot for half a second - bit of a shock when in the shower!
Room 4

6/10 Good

Good location and excellent service but poor sleep

We were in room 2. Probably closest to the main road. Sash windows would not shut properly and without secondary glazing the traffic noise kept us awake so despite a nice room and a very friendly service we didn’t sleep well. When we mentioned it in the morning , whilst listened to politely there was no empathy or apology which was disappointing.
Bob, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Really poor service at breakfast, no clean tables, no juice etc. No electricity in room for laptop or phone charging. Blocked sink. Not the best I am afraid. Raised issues with overworked receptionist and breakfast server and kitchen runner (all same person!!). Maybe one more person required??
