03 THE GREAT HOUSE
The Great House is in the village of Sonning-on-Thames, just over half an hour’s journey from London. The village was described by Jerome K. Jerome in his book Three Men in a Boat as “the most fairy-like little nook on the whole river”.
The hotel sits on the banks of the river, close to where the 18th Century Sonning Bridge joins the counties of Berkshire and Oxfordshire. You’ll find the atmosphere relaxed and the service friendly.
The hotel has recently been refurbished to a high standard. There are 49 elegant bedrooms and a customisable events space; The Great House Lodge, which is fully equipped, and ideal for meetings, private dinners and celebrations.
