Great house and great location. It was so easy to settle in and make it home away from home.

Tidy, neat, welcome pack and just set up to be ready to settle in straight away. You can enjoy all reading has to offer, restaurants close by and lots of choice as well. The rooms are all clean and well maintained. Everything is easy to use and it’s a lovely quiet street considering how close it is to the oracle! Tessa and Charles were amazing, answering any queries we had and replying straight away to help settle us even faster! This really was a great pick for our two week visit with a toddler. Thanks Tessa and Charles!

Great week in Reading

We spent a week in this wonderful house. Enough room for the four of us, private parking and walking distance to Reading city centre, the Oracle and Reading station. An ideal base for trips to London and Oxford.

Brilliant

Words cannot emphasize just how perfect this place is for a family of five who want quick and easy access to the sights of southern Britain. Just 12 minutes walk to the train station it was easy to get to and from London and Bath for our day trips. The home was clean, warm and cozy. The power strip for foreign plugs and toys for kids in the closet show the extra touches the place has for a traveling family. Driveway parking was great, Tessa was very quick in responding to all questions and queries we had. We will stay there again if in the area. Probably one of the best VRBO experiences we’ve had.

Why they chose this property

Newly refurbished to a high standard, fresh modern house with own private driveway parking right in the centre of Reading town centre and 1 minute walk from the centre of the amazing Oracle and minutes from the main line train station to the rest of the country. Located in a very quiet street with hardly any traffic or passers by, so lovely and peaceful although in the middle of the action! Pretty unique we think! :o)
Here is a review from Amy Celino-Potter that stayed in the house recently - "We stayed in Tessa’s super-convenient and clean house for a week, really well-placed and just a few minutes walk to the High Street and the Oracle, also walkable from the station, but down a nice quiet side street. The kitchen equipment was all modern and worked well, as did the brand new shower. Good wifi connection. The toddler in the family enjoyed the kiddie films on offer. Tessa was always incredibly friendly and professional, quickly replying to any queries with helpful advice."

What makes this property unique

Child Stair-gate, brand new travel cot provided, Lego and some toys.
