Loved by Novotel Reading Centre guests
"The pool was so lush and there was a sauna and a steam room too!"
"We went straight to the pool but was disappointed there were four families with children, it wasn't very relaxing."
"Our favourite part of the trip was the free access to gym/pool/sauna/steam room - we had so much fun, the pool is a fantastic size with a few sun loungers around it."
