Rose Cottage is situated ¾ mile South of Theale railway station, 1mile South of the village of Theale which is itself only about a quarter of a mile from Junction 12 on the M4.

There is a further bathroom on the ground floor if required. There are TVs and free Wifi throughout and tea/coffee making facilities in each room. The front garden is cottage style and guests are welcome to use it if they want a change from their room. If the weather is bad guests may prefer to sit in the small, comfortable study.

Evening meals (except Sunday evening) can be taken in the Fox and Hounds pub which is a mere 70m away and may be reached directly through its car park. There is a wealth of walks accessible directly from the house.
