A quiet house in Caversham that works equally well for remote workers and families after a relaxed base. The dedicated study keeps work separate from downstairs living, while the enclosed garden – with its summer house and barbecue – gives you an easy spot to unwind alfresco when the day winds down. Caversham's shops, including a Waitrose and several cafes, are less than half a mile on foot, and Reading Station is roughly a ten-minute walk, with direct trains reaching London Paddington in around twenty-three minutes.

Home truths

  • You're a ten-to-fifteen-minute walk from Reading Station and under half a mile from Caversham's everyday shops, so a car isn't essential for most stays.

  • Parking here is on-street and paid – if you're driving, factor in that you won't have a private space.

  • Self-check-in is available here. You'll either pick up the keys at a nearby property or use a lockbox on the premises. Your host will confirm instructions before your arrival.

  • Starter toiletries are provided. However, you will need to stock up on other essentials such as coffee and tea, as these are not included.

  • Your host uses a third-party platform called Truvi for ID verification and to manage damage deposits independently from Plum Guide. They'll send you a link to fill out when you book.

While in 1895, Oscar Wilde was imprisoned in the county jail here and the experience drove him to write The Ballad of Reading Gaol. Known more these days for its annual Reading Festival, this vibrant town attracts nearly 100,000 music lovers every August to worship...
