The location is beautiful in the Berkshire countryside. There is off road parking and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The room was quite adequate for our needs, clean and tidy, with a fan for the very hot weather - quite welcome! A good selection of drinks available. We didn't eat there, so cannot comment. A nice, quiet, short and inexpensive stay and have no hesitation in recommending the Six Bells.
