Very Good Experience.
The pleasant experience I had at the Bull Inn was just what I was looking for. The staff were all overly welcoming and kind. The building being hundreds of years old was still in very good condition. My room was laid out well, bed was comfortable, and I had great water pressure along with plenty of hot water. The restaurant was absolutely excellent with some very good choices. Not one complaint and I'll hope to make it back someday.

A lovely place to stay at when seeing a show at The Mill at Sonning. It is an easy walking distance to go there. Very close to Thames path so great for walking too.

The stay was great bedding and room very clean and welcoming. Nets could do with a clean. The stairs would cause difficulties if you are not steady on your feet. The staff could not have been more helpfull and friendly, absolutely great.
