Royal Berkshire

Had a really lovely couple of nights between Christmas and New Year while visiting family. The Hotel was so festive with beautiful decorations throughout the building. The room we had was a refurbished room and it was lovely. Spacious, well appointed and quiet. The bed was really comfortable and my back loved it after my son's guestbed ! Breakfast was delicious with hot and cold buffet. All the staff we met from housekeeping, reception and restaurant staff were very friendly and professional. We will return soon.

This is a bit of a halfway spot for us to meet as a family so we booked for Sunday lunch. The hotel itself is not very well signposted and the sat nav took us wildly out of the way. However, once we arrived we were impressed with the location. The grounds are beautiful and the building itself appears to be well maintained and clean. We were seated quickly but there was a bit of a wait to order and then in receiving our food. The restaurant was quite busy though. There was a singer providing entertainment. He sang Christmas songs appropriate for the time of year and Rat Pack melodies which were very nice. Mum is disabled and the staff were very accommodating of her needs. The food was a bit pricey though very edible. I would recommend.

I don't know how I found this please but I just did after hours of searching a non-chained hotel, classic British looking that has maintained its elegance, remote location and offers wonderful perks and I was lucky to find this place. We booked to celebrate our overdue wedding anniversary and our only regret is that we could have stayed one more day! The building and setting looks like one of those that appears in Downtown Abbey's series! The reception staff (despite being new) attended to us and checked us in by letting us know our room was upgraded. She was courteous and soft spoken. We requested 3 course dinner meal as part of our stay, which was fulfilled as well. Our room was gorgeous, there was a hand written note with gesture of box of chocolates, which I am thankful for. It is to welcome us on our anniversary stay. The room was rustic, classic and clean with office table and a soft with a view. The standard condiments were available such as teas and coffees but in addition there were biscuits, popcorns and crisps. Once checked in, we went out to walk around the gorgeous building and then towards Virginia Lake. We got back and went for our 3 course meal. The dining experience was slightly a let down. Both courses (starters and main) had limited options and the ones I would have gone for had extra supplement charges. So we ended up having what's offered as part of the package - I had pork chop, it was dry and had no flavour and my wife had plaice, which had £10 supplement but she too didn't enjoy it that much. Our pudding however something we both enjoyed. However, our breakfast experience compensated for the dinner experience! The spread wasn't overbearing, yet wasn't too little either. The English breakfast looked freshly cooked, there was no strained liquid on bacon (though it was a bit dry), sausages, hash browns, mushrooms looked too tempting to resist. They had freshly baked pastries as well and cold breakfast like yogurt/berries/salami/fruits etc. I would go back to this hotel just for the breakfast! It was so comforting. On this occasion, it might be a pure luck - we went on a weekend where the hotel was hosting "wedding show", so at our point of check out, the singer Frank Cognoscenti of Sinatra Tribute was performing. We spent 20-25 mins listening to Sinatra songs which was wonderfully sung by this gentlemen, who also sang My Way at my request...what a way to end our weekend away. With or without Sinatra, with or without dining experience, we would come back here again as we loved the location, the building and the hospitality of this hotel. Anyone who reads my reviews by now would note, its not just the food or the how "up market" it is but its more about little gestures that make you feel warm and cosy and want to come back again. And thats what RBH has achieved. Highly recommended.

Romantic hotel with the natural view, free parking, nice breakfast and dinner. Within 10 mins driving distance to Windsor area for sightseeing, restaurants, bars, & shops

I have had the pleasure of photographing couples at this wonderful venue on a couple of occasions and it is such a wonderful wedding venue to work at. The staff are so welcoming and supportive, the hotel itself is beautifully maintained and the grounds are gorgeous. The new wedding suite is a wonderful new addition for couples to get ready in, and there are so many fantastic photo opportunities. Working at The Royal Berkshire is always a joy and I hope to return there many more times.

Had a short, overnight luxury break here over the weekend. 5 star experience, staff, room, service all fabulous and our furry friend was made super welcome too and got lots of treats! Thank you everyone at the Royal Berkshire for such a lovely stay. Bravo x

Came for a wedding and was very impressed. We stayed in a cheap "shoebox" room, that was in fact spacious and delightful. The bathroom was remarkable. Lots of jets in the shower and even a television in the bathroom mirror. The food at the wedding and breakfast was very good. All staff were lovely

We recently toured Royal Berkshire while searching for our wedding venue. While we ultimately chose a different location due to our guests' travel requirements, we wanted to highlight the exceptional service we received from the wedding team! Dominika was outstanding from start to finish. She was highly responsive, hospitable, and made us feel incredibly special throughout the entire tour. She took a genuine interest in our story and was eager to hear our specific vision, showing great flexibility in accommodating our requests. The grounds are intimate and beautiful, and every staff member we encountered was friendly and helpful. For any couple seeking a venue with a dedicated team and a stunning setting, we cannot recommend Dominika and Royal Berkshire enough.
