I booked a room at Cavendish Lodge very last minute whilst attending a part time university course. Raj the owner was extremely friendly and welcoming and showed me around the room and facilities. He couldn't do enough to help! I instantly felt at ease and comfortable in the room. The room itself was nicely decorated, clean and fresh. The bathroom is shared but is well equipped with everything you'd possibly need. Having a fridge in the room was a bonus as well as tea/coffee making facilities. Close to both the town centre and train station.

Nothing really, was good for what I needed

Super friendly owner, thought lots about the little things, nice lay out. Comfy beds, cosy, thought about heating and options. Just a nice little place that's convenient and felt personal.

Great owner and clean room

To be honest, I don't think there's much. It was all fine.

Very comfortable and quiet room despite being on the main road. Plenty of space and a comfy bed for the night. Raj couldn't have made me more welcome if he'd tried. Had plenty of shampoos and toothpastes to use in case I'd forgotten (which I had!).

The steps to get upstairs are steep. The stairs to the bathroom were tricky as I battled with my bad knee, but if you're young, it's absolutely fine. Parking wasn't ideal for us

It was clean, quiet, and comfortable

There wasn't anything to dislike! The room and facilities were clean and lovely.

I made this booking last minute and was pleasantly surprised at how quickly and easily Raj (the owner) accommodated my needs. He was really friendly and helpful which made me feel safe and secure. He also made some local recommendations for eating which were brilliant. - thank you.

The stairs to get to the bathroom were a little bit of a challenge, especially to my sister, who is older than I am. But that is only to be expected in an old Victorian house!

Raj is the perfect host - friendly and personable, and the very soul of hospitality. He thought of every tiny detail to make our stay pleasant and comfortable. The room was quiet, flawlessly clean and well-equipped with everything we needed. And the restaurant that he recommended was equally brilliant. We had a splendid meal, followed by a splendid sleep - a memorably wonderful stopover in Reading. I would recommend it highly to any traveller.

Really helpful host.

The only thing that I didn't like is the steep staircase.

Clean, comfy, close to the train station and the staff is very kind.

The location was perfect, station, Aldi and TGIF's within easy distance.

Shared facilities on a different floor could be difficult to negotiate if you’re unsteady on your feet.

Great value for money. Host was very friendly. Room and beds were clean and comfortable.

Excellent accommodation and really helpful. Perfect. Will definitely use again.

Well, I'm afraid there's no getting round the shared bathroom facilities, which feels slightly more like a camping experience even though they were very clean and tidy.

Raj is a very friendly and helpful host, he thinks of everything, extras for things you've forgotten, hairdryer, ironing facilities, extra bathmats... The room was clean and tidy. The bed was very comfortable. There was both heating and fans so you could have the room at the best temperature for you. There are only four rooms so it's not too busy and there was no noise from other people. It is only a two minute walk to the river where you can walk for miles, this was very pretty,

only issue was one shower was freezing even after 10 mins and the other shower had not good power

Raj was amazing he thought of everything and was so helpful, we are fairly young so this was a big deal for and the place we stayed was perfect

The entrance is not great, but don't be put off.

Close to The Thames Path and good restaurants/pub.

Good for the purpose. Boeing alone

Close to centre. Bathroom on the corridor

The shared bathrooms take a bit of getting used to but once you’re ok with that, it’s a lovely spot to stay in.

We got a great reception from the host.

The room was quite warm but we did stay in the summer!

Property was clean and the host was very friendly.

Stayed in June 2023

Bathroom is separate to the room.

Service from Raj was excellent, felt very welcomed and he went above and beyond to ensure my stay was a good one.

Stayed in July 2023

Thought parking was definitely available. Wasn't aware we had to phone to arrange access to the accommodation. Be good to know the bathrooms are shared. Outside could be improved to make it match the inside. More info on parking on booking sites and arranging access.

Location good. Inside better than outside view. Little traffic noise. Host great. Lots of facilities on the inside. Decor good. Good for the price.

Stayed in July 2023

Nothing.

The host, Raj, was very welcoming and went the extra mile to make sure our stay was comfortable and we knew where everything was. He gave us lots of information about the local area and the place was exceptionally clean.
