Mather House Retreat Hotel Wantage

Review by hotel critic

Review of : A Family Getaway in the Great OutdoorsMy recent stay at was a satisfying experience for my family and me. The hotel’s location proved advantageous, nestled near trails perfect for mountain biking. We took advantage of this, enjoying scenic rides that brought us closer to nature. The accommodations featured doors that opened onto a modest garden. This connection to the outdoors was appreciated, particularly for the children, who found it an ideal spot for morning play. Although breakfast renovations were in progress, we sampled a hearty fry up on our final day, which satisfied the family’s needs. Lyn, who served our meals, embodied warmth and helpfulness—qualities that made us feel at home. The staff’s willingness to accommodate special requests was notable; they even prepped a take-away sandwich for my partner after a wedding celebration the night before. While our room showed signs of necessary upkeep, the overall amenities — including a comfortable bed and sufficient wardrobe space — served their purpose well. May lean towards the standard, but it offers a reliable and family-friendly environment, especially for those looking to enjoy the great outdoors.
