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

lovely place, very homely looking and plenty of off road parking. upon arrival it was evident that the main aim of the staff was to ensure your stay was enjoyable and comfortable. drinks in the bar was fairly priced and a very good choice of real ales. a great choice on the menu and the staff even let me mix...

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.

booked here for the night before and after wedding in January - dropped by a couple of weeks ago to surprise hubby on his 50th - we stayed over again. Each time the staff were friendly and helpful - the rooms were clean (and full of character) Not an issue but a point to note - restuarant service is slow... More

We had a room at the front of the hotel which was very cosy, clean and warm. The bed was very comfortable and although the decor was a... More

Our room was spacious & had everything you need (superior double), the bathrooms do need attention but plenty of hot water is available & it was very clean. If you want a hotel with character you expect the building to be old & a bit creaky, as this is, but the food, the bar & general atmosphere is friendly, warm... More
