Russell Court Hotel Reading 27 Russell Street Online Booking

Family run environment with a friendly welcome and a super English Breakfast to set you up for your day ahead. Close to the M4, easy access in to London and Heathrow and a wealth of options and sites close by. Reading is a town filled with many options and has evolved from a world of the peaceful and calm days when 100 monks once roamed the Abbey grounds and Forbury Gardens. It has seen the world of Sutton Seeds, Huntley and Palmers Biscuits and Simonds Beer. Moving onward and upward to the hi-tech world of cybernetics and food science that is now taught at the university to some 10,000 students - and so the monks multiplied - forever in search of wisdom and the future.

Now on to the basics of daily life - this is the best town for shopping outside of London - we have every department store, designer label and name and main stream shop you can think of. Visit the latest addition to the team - the Oracle Shopping and Leisure Complex - there are around 90 outlets and an abundance of cafe bars for that cappuccino chat and catch up with friends.

Evenings can be spend in any number of restaurants serving international cuisine, a night at the Hexagon Concert Hall, view the latest movie at the cinema or perhaps try lady luck at the Casino.

Around and about you will find some super sites to visit - Thorpe Hall, Lego Land, Windsor Castle, Ascot, Henley and a couple of golf courses for that peaceful round or two away from it all.
