Lovely traditional pub with comfortable accommodation. We a a room in the stable block. Comfy bed and good shower. We found the room a bit dark, would have liked some brighter lighting as an option. Breakfast was very tasty. Staff considerate and friendly. I would recommend. I only booked as I got a discount, it is a little pricey for what you get.

Gorgeous pub stay!!!

We had a lovely stay!!!! The room was spotless, beautifully decorated with all.the amenities and added extras you could wish for!! The pub itself was lovely - clean with friendly, helpful and attentive staff. Two nice outdoor seating areas, and the beer garden itself was fully enclosed - great for dogs and kids. Hotel and pub were dog friendly. Breakfast was lovely with a good choice of hot and cold offerings! Would highly recommend and will definitely stay again!

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.

Really friendly and relaxed staff, attentive but never hovered. Great decor, great food. Worth a stay, dinner or just a pint.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

The staff were lovely, we really could not fault them. The place itself was quaint. However, the food service was quite slow, and while some of the food was great, there were a couple of disappointments - one of the desserts was like rubber, sadly. While the place itself is nice and the staff really try hard, here are a few suggestions: * Warn tall people about very low ceilings for some rooms when booking so they can consider options... * If a very large party is dining as a one off, potentially reduce service or close the restaurant to other diners as the wait can be a little silly. * Potentially chat with the cleaning staff as the rooms were pretty grubby in places - our socks were a bit gross from walking around the room. * It sounds entitled, but maybe consider nicer bread at breakfast or at least for the cooked/hot menu options. Sliced (pre packed?) bread is not very 2024, maybe consider at least having sourdough for the main dishes :/ * Maybe switching from concentrated to fresh orange juice might be a low cost way of also improving the experience. * Maybe it's not solvable as it's an old setup, but the plumbing is a bit off - the shower kept starting and stopping and going hot/cold. I think we might have paid over the odds for our room, and maybe at the normal price point this is alright, but for >£200 a night it wasn't quite up to the standard of other hotels we've stayed in at that price. It was fine, but we won't be going out of our way to return. Sorry!

We were a bit disappointed overall with our stay. The room was comfortable but the shower room smelt very musty and there was black mould on the walls. The food in the restaurant was reasonable as was the cooked breakfast. For a pub owned by a brewery I was a bit surprised that that the bar staff had to check with the manager whether they could replace a pint of ale that was cloudy without charging me again. Fullers beer is usually good but I was served two pints of cloudy beer, I would have expected that they had been replaced without question.

The pub is located in a picturesque village (even though it's only a short distance from a major MOD site.) We were made very welcome, and all of the facilities were great. Our room was just what we needed, breakfast was very nice and well presented, and the room was comfortable. The only issue would be if you had limited mobility as there were narrow stairs in the old building. However, there were some accessible rooms in a separate building.
