Filled all requirements

Property was new had everything for daily life. The host is very accomodating for the beds number/size. Also, Kennet Island is well maintained and served by public transport. Parking permit is available.

The property was ideal for what we needed and provided a good overnight base close to the university. Two parking spaces and a reasonable price for the location. Relatively clean although still a few dead flies, dust and hairs in some obvious places. Kitchen facilities were adequate for this trip, but a bit basic and we would have struggled if we were staying for a longer period (e.g. no tea towels or oven gloves). A few little niggles, like cupboard doors that didn't close and swung open all the time, and the place is in need of a lick of paint. But it was a perfectly comfortable and convenient base for the weekend.

Excellent accommodation. Excellent hosts.

Great place to stay, will look to book again if working in the area.

Great Host. Lovely clean house.

Good property for 6 adults handy convenience store nearby

Hostly are very responsive and friendly in their communication. All the details were taken care of in advance. There was a deposit to be paid but it was returned quickly. The area was quiet and convenient for public transport into town. The house was just what we needed and expected but the furniture and decor was a little tired and showed signs of wear and tear.

Nice location, we booked last minute (on the day itself!) and Hostly were very accommodating / communication etc. very straightforward. Nice quiet area, great value, near playgrounds, corner shops etc.

Nice house, would recommend for a family or large group

I was looking for accommodation for a wedding including bridal party wedding prep on the big day. This house had plenty of room downstairs for everyone to have hair and make up done and the kitchen table was perfect for the buffet breakfast. The small garden area was lovely to enjoy the sunny weather beforehand. The area felt safe and was quiet and was conveniently located for Reading and the Berkshire countryside.

A lovely modern build in a good location giving great access to Reading. Host communicates well. The unit is well set up. I would stay again.

Great place,thanks for hosting us! Would highly recommend.

A great place to stay for us with a young family visiting relatives. Communication was excellent and the house was clean, really spacious and had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again. Thanks!

Great host and accommodation

Perfect place for a weekend away catching up with friends. A clean, spacious house in an ideal location just off the M4. Hostly were easy to communicate with and very helpful with all our queries. Would definitely recommend.

Location and property great. Did exactly what we wanted it to do. Hosts were great, sorted a little mixup with check in codes quickly and efficiently and were very responsive and apologetic in their follow ups. Will be staying again I imagine.
