+ The room was excellant. we booked a river view room. The view of the river was a bit limited but a very nice comfortable room with good facilities. Breakfast was also very good and the staff friendly and helpful. We attended a concert at the Mill and the location was ideal as just a short walk over the bridge.

Casual Family Room Casual Family Room 1 month ago solo traveller
+ I usually stay the other side of the river nr M4 corridor at a large chain hotel. This time I had to be in Caversham early in the morning so chose the great house for convenience, wow what a lovely cozy quaint clean comfortable place. From the helpful staff to the very comfortable room. Vast room service menu ( tried n tested) on site restaurant again with great menu (didn't get time to try unfortunately). Had noticed some people say in comments about the toilet not looking the cleanest plz don't let this put you off, I was born and bred in Berkshire it has such hard water and stains everything and I have the kidney stones to prove it. Will definitely be staying here again in future regardless of what side of the river I need to be on.
− Only got to stay 1 short night.

+ Location, rooms, dining facilities, staff.
− The split between the hotel and Coppa Club took some getting used to. Apart from the towel rail, there was no obvious form of heating. There were two Dyson tower fans, but couldn't see any remotes to operate them. They may have been there, but I didn't need heating or fans, so didn't look very far.
