60.0. "Where to stay...." by TYNE::LAWRENCE () Thu Nov 17 1988 10:08

    A request from a customer coming down to Reading/Basingstoke area
    to run benchmarks....
    
    He's looking for pub or small hotels/guest house type of accomodation.
    
    Normally he uses the Copper Inn (pangbourne way I think) but fancies
    a change.
    
    Any suggestions....
    
    Many Thanks, Terry

60.1Mill House?FOOT::JENKINS_RJaguar, World Sportscar ChampionsThu Nov 17 1988 12:359
The Mill House at Swallowfield is small - About a dozen rooms I think
and like the Copper Inn has a good restaurant. 

People who've stayed there like it, but I don't know what the prices
are like. 

Hope this helps,
Richard.

    Have you thought of Romans at Silchester?  Don't know anything
    about prices (could be pretty expensive) but I know DEC people use
    it.  It's one of those 'country house' type hotels.  I think there
    are about 30 rooms.

60.3White Hart.LARVAE::JEFFERYEven the white bits are blackFri Nov 18 1988 14:0715
    
    I stayed in a few hotels when I was relocating. didn't like Romans
    too much, the rooms looked really old-fashioned with sixties style
    chairs, and really soft beds.
    
    I stayed in the White Hart in Hook for a while (Hook is 5 miles
    east of B'stoke on the A30). Nice hotel, with good food, and Gales
    HSB.
    
    For real luxury, try Tylney Hall in Rotherwick. Price about �70/night
    inc breakfast (I think!!), and the best!!!
    
    Cheers.

60.4Romans RefitRDGENG::SIMMon Nov 21 1988 14:316
    Romans has been re-fitted in the last few months.  I haven't
    been there, but I gather it's more four-poster bed 'country house'
    style now.
