the mattress had been run over by a track for a year and put back on the bed. as for the shower I can’t even use word to describe it. How hard to have a decent bed and shower which is clean a usable?? Specially at £100 a night.

Good place
The room and venue were both really good. Wifi was not great and often dropped out.
Breakfast staff Mon/Tues were professional and helpful but the staff on duty for Weds/Thurs definitely need customer service training.

Easy to get to location new M4 and Reading
I needed to find a location on the outskirts of Reading and easy access to the M4. The Wee Waif has a good sizes car park and restaurant with a good selection of food.
