Our Nee Inn stay
It was great, a bit more remote than we were expecting but that was a bonus. Staff were very friendly and food and room just right.

Nice olde pub/accommodation.
Lovely old fashioned pub/accommodation. The rooms were small but cosy. Coffee and tea facilities and everything we needed for our stay. Although we didn't eat there the food looked really nice, and they serve a few guest ales. All in all was quite a nice place and would stay there again if visiting the area. Would try the food as well.

Business trip
Very clean, comfortable and quiet. I only stayed one night whilst on a business trip. I couldn't get the wifi to work but I didn't ask for it to be looked at as it forced me to switch off from work. The food in the pub was excellent and the staff very helpful.

Respectable
Room over looked the back of the kitchen so the fans were noisy. The walls between the rooms are paper thin so you can hear everything! The shower was dangerously scolding hot couldn't turn the heat down.

Perfect peaceful weekend
When we arrived the small bar was buzzing. We had lunch (just sharing Camembert as we were eating at the hotel in the evening) before being shown to our room. As we were the only ones staying that Saturday night we were upgraded to the Merlot room which was very large with a terrace and full bath. The landlady and the other lady who dealt with us throughout our stay were so friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. We were even allowed a late breakfast which was a. great treat. All the food was beautifully presented and very tasty. It is a very quiet área and we just used the inn for a quiet getaway after the Christmas holidays and this was perfect.

Regatta bolt-hole
Stayed here while the regatta was on. Had a lovely stay, nice and quiet, cute room and well equipped although very tricky (impossible) to use the mirror with a hair dryer. Breakfast was fabulous as was the service provided by Nicky and the owner. Highly recommend and hopefully be back next year!

Great Hotel
Great Hotel, good breakfast with great service from Dora, evening meal tasty and plentiful if a little expensive on the wine. Roads leading to hotel are narrow, muddy potholed tracks, or better roads with speed humps! Locals have big high cars!

As a frequent business hotel user home from home is important to me, well the new inn did not disappoint. Set outside reading in the idyllic English countryside; the Inn is just the thing for an overnight stay or more. The rooms are warm, comfortable and clean and the drinks provided in the room were lovely. The food is absolutely gorgeous and very well presented. the pub has an open fire and a range heater and is warm and welcoming. the best this pub has to offer is the welcome and service by all that work there, they truly have an excellent customer focused ethic and I truly could not be made to feel more valued. really looking forward to another stay.

Lovely customer focused hotel and restaurant
As noted in my earlier review, the New Inn is a delight to stay in, lovely quiet location, easy parking, brilliant friendly staff, a comfortable room and bed and delicious food. On this occasion Dora and her team went out of their way to help us by opening the Inn earlier than usual to allow the congregation at my Aunt's memorial service to gather afterwards, to share coffee and reminiscences of my Aunt. This was a real kindness to us and is a testament to the very customer focused community spirit of the New Inn. Thank you so much Dora. I would recommend it to anyone and would always choose to stay there if holidaying in the area.

I can't say enough about this lovely country inn in a quiet village about 10 minutes northeast of Reading. The owner/manager (Dora) went above and beyond in the service provided to us -- excellent meals and very comfortable accommodations.

Lovely Country Inn
Booked this hotel as was a lot cheaper than the city centre hotels but still only 15 mins drive outside Reading. Upon arrival, the Inn was empty and I waited 10 mins before I managed to find anyone to check me in. I even tried to phone to speak to someone but it took me straight to answerphone. When someone finally arrived, it looked like the chef who didn't appear too pleased that I had disturbed him. I was handed the key but that was about all. Not the most welcoming check in I have ever experienced. However, things did improve and the room was very nice and modern and the bed extremely comfortable. The rooms are located in a annex type building attached to the pub. I didn't eat in the hotel for dinner but the breakfast was nice although fairly limited, but I was happy with the English Breakfast. Although a Business traveller, I would be happy to return with my family if I was ever in the area again.

3 days in New Inn
Bedroom and bathroom were good - well equipped,comfortable and clean. Bar restaurant was OK but service slow and a bit unrefined. Staffing level appeared to be a problem, particularly in the kitchen where everything seemed to depend on one person. Food well cooked, menu a little limited but OK. Breakfast a bit basic - everything served on one plate and tea/coffe out of flasks!
