Lovely 16th century inn near the river, which is great for history lovers. Breakfast was excellent. But the cosy room was very small and we were disturbed by the noise from the bar below. We could hear extremely loud conversation from a large group downstairs until midnight and then the staff clearing up until about 12.30. At times it sounded as though the staff were in our bathroom. Not the restful night we had hoped. We would definitely come back to visit the pub and restaurant but wouldn't stay again.

A lovely place to stay at when seeing a show at The Mill at Sonning. It is an easy walking distance to go there. Very close to Thames path so great for walking too.

The stay was great bedding and room very clean and welcoming. Nets could do with a clean. The stairs would cause difficulties if you are not steady on your feet. The staff could not have been more helpfull and friendly, absolutely great.
