Lock in a great price for The Great House At Sonning – rated 9 by recent guests!

to get started.

The bed was huge and very comfortable. The room was immaculate and a good size. The bathroom was fantastic and very modern. It was a warm day and there was a fan in the room ready for arrival. Board games to use and books to read. Staff were very helpful and friendly and the bar restaurant was great over looking the river. Food spot on and reasonably priced.

Andrew, United Kingdom

Beautiful location and great facilities! Would definitely stay here again.

Jayne, United Kingdom

Ambiance position on river open plan restaurant everything was great - really nice place will go again x

Zandra, United Kingdom

The accommodation was immaculate and extremely comfortable. Really lovely to have decent coffee (coffee bags) and fresh milk to make a much nicer cuppa than you usually have to endure in a hotel!

Nikki, United Kingdom

Choice of beer in bars, fantastic rooms, stunning location, great for base to walk Thames Path, did i say fantastic rooms! Great food (BBQ at an event there). Place is just superb with staff to match.

Donald, United Kingdom

Katie, Ireland

We took our pup away for the first time - The Great House was perfect! From the welcome pack for the dog in the room, to the dog friendly restaurant, great gardens and even better access to the river and the Thames Path at the bottom of the garden. Small touches like fresh milk in the fridge make all the difference. We stayed in room 41 - perfect! Great place - would definitely recommend it!

Ginette, United Kingdom

The room was clean and tidy, the bed was comfortable. The shower was amazing, plenty of hot water - great nights sleep to start off the next day full of meetings. Meal in the restaurant was also very nice, quick service and friendly staff.

Deborah, United Kingdom

The bedrooms and bathrooms were roomy, comfortable and stylish with crisp white bedlinen and large white towels

Lesley, United Kingdom

The whole atmosphere and friendly efficient staff, lovely weekend.

“Great spot on the river”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Medium Double Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉Too many dogs, especially in the restaurants and on seating. Only 1 coffee machine for all the facilities resulting in almost half an hour wait for a drink. The Express Breakfast option was poor and certainly not express.
눇Spacious room. Plenty of different style and grouping of seating arrangements, indoors and outside. Beautiful location by the river in a boutique village.

눉Would have liked the option of a no cost cancellation.
눇Acommodation was separate from the hotel. It was roomy and quiet. Hotel itself was pleasant with a great beer garden. Very busy at lunchtime, and again in the restaurant at dinner. Good range of ales on tap. Good value.

눉Considering there is a restaurant on site, I was disappointed not to be able to order room service. Be aware at peak times, the traffic through the village can be at a standstill and the car park filled up pretty quickly with restaurant patrons seeking a sunny dinner by the river.
눇The accommodation was immaculate and extremely comfortable. Really lovely to have decent coffee (coffee bags) and fresh milk to make a much nicer cuppa than you usually have to endure in a hotel!
