Premier Inn Reading South (Grazeley Green) hotel
South of Reading, ten minutes from Wellington Country Park
About this hotel
This Premier Inn sits on Reading's southern edge, roughly ten minutes by taxi from Wellington Country Park and six minutes from Mortimer, giving it an easy run south toward North Hampshire's parkland courses. Modern en-suite rooms and a pub restaurant cover the basics without pretension, and free parking removes the usual roadside friction for a group arriving in multiple cars. It's roughly forty-two minutes from Heathrow by taxi and just over two hours by public transport, better suited to a group driving in than one flying and relying on trains. It's built for a group prioritising the drive to the course over the drive into central Reading, and the pub restaurant means nobody needs to leave the property after checking in for the night.

Our take
This suits a group whose courses sit south of Reading toward North Hampshire, where the shorter drive beats a more central hotel. The pub restaurant handles dinner without a booking, and free parking is standard. It's a functional stay rather than a destination one, built for golfers who'd rather be closer to the first tee than closer to the town centre.
- Choose this over the town-centre Premier Inns if your courses sit south toward North Hampshire specifically.
- Book the pub restaurant for the group's arrival night rather than driving back into town for dinner.
- Budget extra transfer time if relying on public transport from Heathrow rather than a taxi.

Why guests love itWe picked this Premier Inn because two of our three rounds were south toward North Hampshire, and the shorter drive each morning made a real difference by day three. The pub restaurant covered our first-night dinner without a reservation, and free parking meant our three cars never became a logistics problem. Being this close to Wellington Country Park side of town cut our morning drive down to almost nothing across three rounds.
