Top Highclere Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Reading South M4 Jct11 by IHG

8/10 Good

"Good location. Rooms are good size. Breakfast has a good range and quality. down side rooms are getting tired (old) and having paid a high rate for the room it seems unfair to have to pay for parking on top."

Milton Hill

8/10 Good

"We have stayed at the Milton Hill House Hotel on numerous occasions and will be returning. The rooms in the Garden Wing are generally well appointed if just a little lacking in space. The breakfast was excellent as always. The leisure facilities are generally good though on this occasion the hot tub was only partially filled with water hence it was unusable. It would have helped if we had been told this at reception. One has to go to reception to sign in to the leisure centre and collect towels; we weren't reminded of this when we checked-in to the hotel.This is a little inconvenient given the distance one has to walk especially when one is dressed ready for swimming. The price we paid still represented good value. See you on Dec 5th and we hope the hot tub is fixed by then."

Hampshire Court Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"The room was clean, the staff friendly, the breakfast was lovely choices, although the juice glasses were tiny so had to have 2 or 3 glasses and fried egg was a bit plastic. Swimming pool was a nice size for my capabilities. Didn't use the children's pool. The only bad thing about it was the prices for alcohol was a bit high and you are joking at the £33 cheeseburger or any dinner prices?"

Norton Park Hotel, Spa & Manor House

8/10 Good

"We came to the Norton Park 3 years ago and returned because it was so excellent. Whereas the hotel is still amazing, standards have slipped unfortunately. There are a small number of staff that have so much potential but lack management guidance. The grounds are magnificent but the fabulous woodland walk that was there 3 years ago has become overgrown so the walks we had with our dog were contained more to the manor house and hotel which was a shame. We also missed the rope swing that hung from the bought of the tree by the pond. Would still recommend"

voco Reading by IHG

8/10 Good

"Mixed bag. Room lovely, clean, comfortable and reasonably priced. Had booked a spa package, and (obviously not the hotel’s fault) there were a lot of crying/screaming children in the pool, so would not book for a relaxing spa again. Ratina in the restaurant was lovely, although the food and drinks were just ok (and very overpriced)."

The Winchester Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"It is very good hotel Near city, Very calm & clean, good Bar & restaurant, Friendly staff, Enjoyed Stay."

Winchester Wessex Hotel by Sunday

8/10 Good

"Nice place, pleasant staff. Good location. Only bad thing is £15 parking per night."

Novotel Reading Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing location, nice bar, amazing pool"

Sure Hotel by Best Western Reading

8/10 Good

"Staff were friendly and helpful. I loved the fridge and microwave availability. My only comment is there was no interior latch on the ground floor window which I would have preferred. But the location was convenient to Reading's main areas."
