"Historic inn with plenty of traditional charm and character."
Overview
The Bird in Hand Country Inn is just four miles from Maidenhead, and dates back, in part, to the 14th century. Bedrooms are arranged around a brick courtyard and all are well equipped.

About the area
Berkshire consists of two distinct parts: the western half, which is predominantly rural, with the Lambourn Downs spilling down to the River Lambourn and the Berkshire Downs to the majestic Thames, and the eastern half of Berkshire, which offers plenty of opportunity to get out and savour open spaces. Reading and Newbury are the county’s major towns, and the River Kennet flows through them both.
