About Trunkwell House Hotel

Along Beech Hill Road on the edge of Reading, the Berkshire countryside surrounds Trunkwell House Hotel, giving it a quiet, green setting despite being close to the city. The grounds include a well-kept garden and outdoor seating area, making the most of the rural surroundings whatever the occasion.

Rooms are en-suite, with family rooms available and drinks provided in-room, while the hotel also has a bridal suite and meeting rooms, making it suited to weddings and functions as well as overnight stays. Free WiFi and 24 hour reception cover the practical side, and breakfast is included for guests staying over. The kitchen has a good reputation locally, particularly for its sandwiches and chocolate sponge cake, and staff are consistently described as attentive, with particular mention of the general manager. Some guests have noted that ventilation indoors could be improved.

Free on-site parking makes arriving straightforward, and the area nearby offers fishing, watersports, entertainment, and a choice of pubs, bars and restaurants for those wanting to explore beyond the grounds. It's a practical base for a countryside stay near Reading, with enough on-site to make staying in just as appealing.

Steve Bennett

We recently held an event at Trunkwell House and once again had a fantastic experience. A special mention has to go to Rene, the Groundsman and Site Manager, who does an exceptional job maintaining the venue. The grounds are always immaculate, beautifully presented, and a real credit to the hard work and attention to detail he puts in every day. Rene is also incredibly welcoming and approachable, always happy to help and ensuring everything runs smoothly from start to finish. His professionalism and friendly attitude make a real difference and contribute greatly to the overall experience at the venue. Trunkwell House continues to be a wonderful location for our business, and we’re already looking forward to returning in September. Thank you to Rene and the whole team for consistently providing such a high standard of service and presentation.

We recently held our staff conference and summer party at Trunkwell House, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The venue was excellent, a great setting that worked perfectly for both the conference and the more relaxed social event afterwards. The staff were outstanding throughout: friendly, professional, and always willing to help with anything we needed. The food was very good, and the whole event was incredibly easy to organise thanks to the team's support and responsiveness. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, which made the day enjoyable for everyone. We wouldn't hesitate to book Trunkwell House again and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a corporate event venue. Thank you to the whole team!

We recently hosted our company summer event for around 100 guests at this venue, and it was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. A special mention must go to Rene, the Operations Manager, who was brilliant throughout. The coordination of all vendors was seamless, which made the whole experience stress-free for us as organisers. We also worked closely with Lauren, the Marketing & Events Co-ordinator, who was wonderful to deal with. She made the whole planning process easy and stress-free, and was incredibly accommodating to all of our requests. The food quality was excellent and served right on time, which was greatly appreciated by our guests. We also chose the venue’s recommended DJ, and he did not disappoint - he kept the energy high all evening and was great at taking on-the-spot song requests. The venue itself was stunning, both outdoors and inside the marquee, and it was maintained to a very high standard throughout. The bar staff were incredibly attentive, ensuring drinks were topped up and guests were well looked after throughout the event. Overall, a superb experience - highly recommend for any large event!

We booked our schools Leavers Dinner at Trunkwell House which took place last week and it was the most perfect venue. The staff were amazing and could not do more for us. The atmosphere was perfect and the venue was gorgeous. The students really enjoyed the evening and we will definitely be booking again. This is the perfect venue for any event!
