A beautiful Victorian, family-run guest house located in the heart of Reading, Bow Guest House offers well-furnished bedrooms, free Wi-Fi and free parking.

Reading Town Centre boasts many restaurants, bars and shops. Heathrow Airport is reachable in about 35 minutes and London Paddington in 20 minutes.

Initially I was worried as I had seen a couple of poor reviews. However, I was met and received extremely professionally, provided with all I required and am now of mind that the poor reviews were unjustified. Bow Guest House is superb value, comfortable and safe.

Working in the hospitality field myself, I can say that this property truly exceeded my expectations! It is definitely a 5 stars luxury service, the hosts are lovely and truly care about their guests(ex: they proactively ask and contact you in advance about your arrival time/breakfast information/restaurants around).The room was spotless (I was shocked of how clean it was (no jokes!) Super clean! We will definitely be back for longer this time! Thank you :)

    Smooth self-check-in, and it was very kind of the hosts to supply milk and washing tabs as well. The rooms are bright and airy and I had a nice sleep in the comfy clean beds. Communication with the hosts was great as well. I've stayed here a few times and it's a great location being ten minutes from Reading city centre where there are plenty of shops and restaurants and places to walk.

    This is a basic but functional guest house. The owners are friendly and happy to help. There is a really good breakfast, continental and cooked breakfast. Free parking and great location. 10 min walk to town. It's very quiet and the beds are very comfty. It's a little worn in places but for what your pay you can't expect loads. I had a shared toilet and shower, no issues and didn't have to que. N8ce having sink in the room

    We wanted a base for a few days easy on and off-road cycling around the the Chilterns and the Thames. This was the perfect location. The New Inn is a very pleasant combination of a country pub and a 'boutique' style hotel, on a quiet lane. We were made to feel very welcome and the host, Dora, upgraded us to a larger room on arrival. The food from the sensibly small menu was excellent - we ate there on all 3 evenings.

    The host is great and responsive. Location of the property is excellent. It is quiet and safe while the city centre is just ten minutes walk. Sainsbury, H&M, Primark, HSBC, Lloyds, KFC, Burger King, Wendy are all within walking distance. Coley recreation ground is nearby and is a good place for kids to play around.
