The Great House at Sonning
About
A former Elizabethan coaching inn that now serves as a tranquil riverside retreat, The Great House at Sonning offers a blend of historic charm and contemporary comfort. Nestled on the banks of the River Thames, the property boasts a glass‑covered terrace overlooking a manicured lawn and water, inviting guests to unwind with deckchairs while enjoying the gentle flow of the river. The accommodation is spread across four distinct buildings – the original White Hart Hotel, 16th‑century Palace Yard, 17th‑century Coach House, and Clock Tower – each featuring bespoke rooms that cater to families, couples, solo travellers, and business guests alike. All rooms come with en‑suite bathrooms, mini‑fridges and Nespresso machines, and the hotel welcomes pets, allowing dogs to join the stay. Dining options range from casual all‑day grazing in the main house to refined dining by the riverside terrace, with seasonal menus that showcase local produce and winter specialties such as a hearty Christmas feast and a New Year’s Eve celebration. Whether you are looking to relax by the river, enjoy a scenic walk along the Thames, or host a wedding or corporate event, The Great House blends historic setting, modern amenities and attentive service to create an unforgettable riverbank experience.
