    A request from a customer coming down to Reading/Basingstoke area
    to run benchmarks....
    
    He's looking for pub or small hotels/guest house type of accomodation.
    
    Normally he uses the Copper Inn (pangbourne way I think) but fancies
    a change.
    
    Any suggestions....
    
    Many Thanks, Terry

| 60.1 | Mill House? | FOOT::JENKINS_R | Jaguar, World Sportscar Champions | Thu Nov 17 1988 12:35 | 9 | 
| The Mill House at Swallowfield is small - About a dozen rooms I think and like the Copper Inn has a good restaurant. People who've stayed there like it, but I don't know what the prices are like. Hope this helps, Richard. | |||||
| 60.2 | Romans | RDGENG::SIM | Fri Nov 18 1988 08:10 | 6 | |
|     Have you thought of Romans at Silchester?  Don't know anything
    about prices (could be pretty expensive) but I know DEC people use
    it.  It's one of those 'country house' type hotels.  I think there
    are about 30 rooms.

| 60.3 | White Hart. | LARVAE::JEFFERY | Even the white bits are black | Fri Nov 18 1988 14:07 | 15 |

    I stayed in a few hotels when I was relocating. didn't like Romans
    too much, the rooms looked really old-fashioned with sixties style
    chairs, and really soft beds.
    
    I stayed in the White Hart in Hook for a while (Hook is 5 miles
    east of B'stoke on the A30). Nice hotel, with good food, and Gales
    HSB.
    
    For real luxury, try Tylney Hall in Rotherwick. Price about �70/night
    inc breakfast (I think!!), and the best!!!
    
    Cheers.
    
    Mark.

| 60.4 | Romans Refit | RDGENG::SIM | Mon Nov 21 1988 14:31 | 6 | |
|     Romans has been re-fitted in the last few months.  I haven't
    been there, but I gather it's more four-poster bed 'country house'
    style now.
