Breakfast is available – perfect for a slow, post-concert morning.

Nightlife Options

While the village itself is laid-back, Reading’s buzzing nightlife is just a short train ride away. Back at the hotel, the Coppa Club’s riverside terrace is a great spot for a nightcap with a view. Expect a more chilled vibe than party-heavy hotels – great for decompressing after a high-energy show.

The peaceful setting and scenic walks nearby are often highlighted, making it a favorite for those who like to combine music with a bit of relaxation. The Coppa Club’s menu and cocktails also get plenty of praise.

Areas for Improvement

WiFi can be spotty in some parts of the property, and those without a car may find late-night returns a bit tricky if train service is limited. Also, while the village is charming, don’t expect a buzzing nightlife scene – but that might be just what you’re after.

The Bottom Line

A scenic, stylish escape just a train ride from Reading’s concert venues – ideal for music fans who want to mix great shows with riverside relaxation.
