For saying this is one of an Old English inns chain I think they could do better. Staff where great, attentive and polite but the tired rooms let the stay down. I paid a premium price for one of the family rooms because there was nothing else available. Room was tired, décor in poor condition and a noisy fan that... More

Staying at this place is weirdly comforting, like visiting an old aunty in her slightly dilapidated, sprawling home in the country. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. There is no elevator, so you have to drag your suitcases up and down stairs and through narrow hallways. The rooms are worn and have not been redecorated in about 100 years,... More

Man thanks for your comments. We are really glad the you enjoyed the charms and quirks of the Dog House and that you would return. Please be assured that redecoration is taking place in the areas where attention is needed but this will be done without effecting the feel of the Dog House. More

We chose the Dog house, as we needed to be close to Abingdon school and Oxford rugby ground. This is the second time I have stayed and once again I cannot fault the level of service from the staff, friendly and efficient from the moment you arrive until you check out. We booked a family room for the three of... More

Went for lunch based on friends recommendation. Food was above average quality pub-grub; nothing fancy just good and filling. My wife and myself had the chicken and mushroom pie - while this is a deconstructed pie, it was really very good. But the place itself has a wonderful ambiance and the staff are friendly and attentive, Unlike other reviewers, food... More
