The Space:

A calm Caversham base with free parking, a 10 minute walk to the station. Ideal for a working week or a soft landing between homes.



Welcome to a bright studio flat in Caversham, the leafy side of Reading just over the river. Compact, well equipped, and easy to settle into.



You know how a short stay usually goes.



โŒ A cramped room with nowhere to cook

โŒ Parking that costs a fortune or means circling the block

โŒ WiFi that drops mid call

โŒ Nowhere near the station or the shops

โŒ Hosts who go quiet after check in

โŒ Photos that flatter a tired place



None of that here.



This is a self contained studio, cleaned by professionals before every stay. Fresh linen, fresh towels, and the basics stocked so you can settle straight in.



๐Ÿ…ฟ๏ธ Free parking on site



Park right at the flat, free, with no permits and no meters. One less thing to sort after a long day or a long drive.



๐Ÿ› Rest and reset



A comfortable double, plus a sofa bed, so the flat sleeps up to 3.



Room darkening blinds for proper sleep, central heating you control, and fans for warmer months.



๐Ÿณ A proper little kitchen

Cook a real meal and skip the takeaways. There is a dining table to sit at, and wine glasses for the evening.



๐Ÿ“ถ Set up for work



Fast WiFi and a dedicated workspace. Take the call from the desk, not perched on the bed. Good for remote work, timesheets, or catching up after site.



๐Ÿงบ Ready for a weekly stay



Washing machine and dryer, plus an iron, drying rack, and clothes storage. Wash work gear midweek, or keep on top of laundry over a longer stay. Pack light.



๐Ÿšถ Right by the river



The Thames and the riverside path are a couple of minutes away, and Caversham centre with its cafes, pubs and shops is a short walk. A calm spot to come home to.

The Neighborhood:

Neighbourhood โ€“ Caversham, Reading



Caversham is a charming suburb just north of Reading town centre, across the River Thames. It offers a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere while still being only a short walk into central Reading.



Guests love Caversham for its riverside walks, Caversham Court Gardens, and plenty of green spaces. The area has a real village feel with independent shops, cafรฉs, pubs, and community events, yet all the conveniences of a modern town are close by.



Itโ€™s also very family-friendly, with good schools and a safe, welcoming community. Caversham Heights offers elevated views over the Thames, while Lower Caversham is perfect for riverside strolls.



Transport is simple โ€” Reading station is just across the river with fast connections to London and beyond, and local bus routes serve the area well.
