DeanUnited KingdomShort weekend break
Nice location next to river and convenient restaurant attached. Extremely polite friendly staff nice ambience and lots of extras offered in room , most at additional cost.
Nearby pub provided change of scenery only…
NormaIELocation and so cosy and very clean
For the price and qualify I think there should be some free water in the room and a biscuit for the tea and coffee .

Questions about The Great House, Sonning, Berkshire
What time is check-in and check-out at The Great House, Sonning, Berkshire?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does The Great House, Sonning, Berkshire allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at The Great House, Sonning, Berkshire?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Is breakfast included at The Great House, Sonning, Berkshire?

Does The Great House, Sonning, Berkshire have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at The Great House, Sonning, Berkshire?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does The Great House, Sonning, Berkshire have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at The Great House, Sonning, Berkshire?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book The Great House, Sonning, Berkshire?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
