I have been staying at the Amherst for 1 or 2 nights a week since the start of April and will continue to stay there when I am working in Reading. I have stayed in 3 different rooms and all of them have been spotless with nice, comfortable beds. I have had rooms at the back of the house and... More

Beautiful bed with crisp white sheets. Lovely bathroom ameneties like staying in a 5 star hotel. TV could do with updating but the service was lovely and the room big and clean. Also nice box of snacks and tea/coffee and water for free. Perfect for business stay! More

I stayed at the Amherst Guest House for 3 weeks while searching for a property to rent in Reading. Doug and Cath were fantastic hosts, extremely friendly and accommodating. They made me feel right at home. The rooms I staying in where all spacious, lovely and clean. The beds were very comfortable. The breakfast menu was substantial, tasted delicious and... More

I stayed there for 6 weeks in Feb/March 2012. The room (number 7) was quite big and very nice furnished. They cleaned the room every day and I have nothing to complain.

Amhurst is a lovely B&b within 10mins walk of Reading town centre. Decent sized bedrooms, good ensuite and room facilities of tea/coffee/biscuits provided. Comfy beds and good breakfast. Might b worth bringing ear plugs as the road traffic is audible although it is not a main street so don't let it deter you in booking. More

It is a large semi-detached house which has been really well done out as a guest house. The sheets were crisp, the towels were fluffy and the room was warm. The internet... More

This place was a treat. The full English breakfast was included. The rooms are clean and bright. The staff, Laura and Amanda, were wonderful. The mattresses were excellent. The location was quiet. Beware, the rooms are on the small side. This didn't matter to us as we were out touristing most of every day. We look forward to staying there... More
