Royal County Hotel Reading 4-8 Duke Street Online Booking

A warm and friendly team of staff will welcome you and make you feel at ease and relaxed whilst you stay here with us. Everything you require for a very pleasant time. All the main attractions and sites are right on your doorstep with some of the best social scene and shopping outside of London.

The Business World is here - everyone and anyone of importance has made their mark on Reading. Evolving from the times of Sutton Seeds, Simonds Beer and Huntley and Palmers Biscuits to the futuristic and visionary world of Microsoft, Prudential and Foster and Wheeler, across to the mainstream retail world of John Lewis, Marks and Spencer, House of Fraser, Debenhams and all the designer labels and trend setters such as Zara, Karen Millen, Mango and the delightfully attractive world of Disney (leave me in there).

Stroll around the Abbey grounds and Forbury Gardens where the once wise and peaceful monks roamed - 100 resided here and spent many a day contemplating and meditating about our future. Now they'd be amazed at the ice-skating rink, dry ski slope and the charming games we play - cricket, rugby, football and hockey.

Golf courses close by and the chance to drive a short distance to Ascot when the races are on or visit the fantasy worlds of Thorpe Park and Lego Land and pop in to Windsor Castle for a regal look around.

Super scenery, gorgeous countryside and lots of riverside options with both the Thames and the Kennet flowing through the town.
