Nestled on the picturesque banks of the River Thames, Sonning Eye is ideally situated just 3 miles northeast of Reading, Berkshire. The hamlet enjoys the best of both worlds: The peace of the countryside and the convenience of nearby urban amenities. Situated next to the thriving village of Sonning, linked by the historic 18th-century Sonning Bridge and the scenic Sonning Backwater Bridges.

The River Thames offers delightful spots for fishing, sailing, and water skiing. The French Horn, a luxury riverside hotel and restaurant, provides a touch of elegance and a perfect place for a leisurely meal or getaway, plus the Coppa Club and entertainment at The Mill at Sonning Theatre is a short distance from the property.
