About

The Mill House Hotel and Restaurant is a stately Georgian country house set amidst beautifully landscaped gardens beside the tranquil River Loddon, just a short drive from Reading in the heart of Berkshire. Over 25 years of personal stewardship by Mark & Kim Pybus has returned the house to its former glory, preserving original high ceilings, spacious reception rooms and richly appointed ensuite rooms that feature flat‑screen TVs, comfortable seating and complimentary Wi‑Fi. The 12 rooms are individually decorated to evoke the original style of the house, with each offering a charming ambience and all the modern conveniences a discerning traveller expects. Guests are greeted by friendly staff and treated to a range of culinary delights in the on‑site Garden Restaurant, where a menu of elegant British dishes with a modern twist showcases locally sourced ingredients. The restaurant’s welcoming, home‑away‑from‑home atmosphere and superior service have earned the hotel a reputation for providing “delicious” food and “beautiful” dining settings. In addition, free parking is available for visitors. Whether you are planning a corporate retreat, a leisure escape or a special celebration, the Mill House offers a relaxed environment, beautiful scenery, and the convenience of a private booking form that can be accessed directly via the ‘Book a Room’ page. Beyond accommodation, the hotel is an acclaimed wedding venue, offering exclusive use of its gardens, banquet rooms and a spacious marquee that seats up to 120 guests for a seated reception and 200 for a standing reception. Couples benefit from complimentary ceremony room hire on select packages, and the venue’s dedicated wedding team provides bespoke planning support to realise any wedding vision. Overall, the Mill House Hotel blends heritage charm with contemporary comfort, making it an ideal destination for couples, families, and couples seeking a peaceful countryside retreat enriched with culinary excellence and award‑winning service.
