About this property

Originally a 16th-century coaching inn, The Bull is located in the pretty village of Sonning on Thames. The stylish bedrooms have been furnished to a high standard, but still retain charm and many original features. With a reputation for excellent cuisine, wine and Fuller's real ales, the Bull is just a 5-minute drive from Reading. Henley Royal Regatta Headquarters and Henley-on-Thames are 6 miles away.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.2 for a two-person trip.
