The new SCRUMPY lite website for The Old Reading Rooms is now live using one of our free themes!

The Old Reading Rooms is a Grade II Listed town house offering spacious accommodation for up to 4 guests over three floors together with a courtyard to the rear of the property.

This Grade II Listed town house offers a wealth of character features and is believed to date back to 1887 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee. The foundation stone is believed to have been laid by William Hancock on the 24th June 1887 and the Reading Room was opened a year later. Originally the ground floor was divided into two reading rooms, one for the public and the other for subscribers and on the first floor originally housed a billiard room and a snuggery.

The property has now been converted into a superb holiday accommodation for up to 4 guests. The entrance hall leads into a 30' kitchen/dining room with high ceiling, cornices, stained glass windows, and attractive timbered floor there is a cloakroom and rear porch with access to courtyard. Off the hallway at the foot of the stairs, is a walk-in shower with hand basin.

The new website for The Old Reading Rooms uses our 'Fuji' theme which has been adapted to suit their branding. Currently they do not want to take bookings online so they are using the Lite version of scrumpy which is completely free. However, if they decided in the future they would like to take bookings and payments online they can simply click a button in their admin to upgrade to our full featured system. If you are a property owner interested in having a new website and booking system for your holiday property then please do not hesitate to contact us and we'll be more than happy to talk you through our system.
