This quintessentially English inn is mentioned in the novel "Three Men in a Boat".
Sonning is the most fairylike little nook on the whole river. If you stop at Sonning, put up at The Bull, behind the Church. It is a veritable picture of an English country inn".

Recent customer review - September 2009
"As a frequent business traveller I must say that my recent stay at the Bull Inn was one of the best and most unique experiences I have ever had. From being sent off each morning with a full breakfast, to being greeted by name at the end of the day, each aspect of my stay was pleasant and one I will recommend to others who think their only alternative is lodging in the sterile chain hotels in Reading.
Just a short stroll from Thames Valley Park, it was a world away in every other manner. The hospitality, food, location and overall experience is something you simply cannot find very often and I look forward to returning. I'd gush more about it, but you are likely to think this is a plant and not an extremely satisfied customer"
