Staying at the Reading Rooms was a very refreshing experience as B&Bs can be a bit hit and miss at times. The service was excellent and the room was very clean, comfortable, quiet and well presented. We arrived after cycling 30 miles in a blizzard and it turned out that the owner had driven 15 miles earlier that day to... More

Went to England with 2 family members, I stayed in Liverpool, Manchester, London, & at the Reading Room. At the reading room we got the biggest, cleanest, most comfortable rooms in England. Had a great breakfast every morning and really enjoyed the small town setting in Haydons Bridge. Great stay, great memories. More

This B&B used to be my house growing up. It used to have high ceilings and oldly wordly decor and I spent many an afternoon playing in the 'Reading Room' (bottom right room, facing the 'subway' tunnel)! My bedroom was the corner room that looks out on to the bridges and used to be woodchipped and Artexed to high heaven!... More

As a matter of we left before the night because of the terrible lac of service. When we arrived nobody was there. After more than an hour and after several calls a young man arrived. Not very coöperative and informant. The internet did not work an for us that was very, very important. They were not able to restore it.... More

Bedroom its self was very large with a lovely power shower. We were supplied with a very large number of tea bags and were made... More

We've just had a very nice stay at The Reading Rooms, and contrary to the previous review, we found it comfortable and friendly. We asked if we could possibly check in early, as we had to be somewhere, and this was no problem at all. We were greeted by a very charming young man, who gave us all the information... More

Stayed here in January 2009 to attend a wedding at Langley Castle. Positives: Nice clean room and very comfortable Negatives: Booked the wedding package to ensure "late breakfast and check out" only to be told at 10:00 (quite rudely) that we should have been out before now and that we could only have our breakfast and lift back to the...

Essentially, I agree with EssexNeat. First the positives: the location is great, right in the heart of Haydon Bridge (a picturesque little village). Gill (the owner) and her husband (whose name escapes me) were very friendly. We were allowed to use the dining room for take-away dinner, which was really helpful. We were also given free run of the kitchen... More
