Nice little hotel stay with all amenities

The dinner in the restaurant was outstanding, so I had high hopes for the breakfast which was a bit of a let down. The hotel itself is comfortable but could do with a lick of paint, the bedroom smelt a little damp but it was cute. I'd visit again if I was in the area still.

Wendy, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Great if you like historical inns.

Very pleasant stay with helpful and friendly staff. The hotel is as close as you can get to the centre of Abingdon and from that point of view a great place to stay. It also has a great restaurant with great food and friendly staff. Unfortunately being a very old building, it is not disabled friendly, all the rooms are on the first and second floors, not lift, and very narrow stairs. Also we found the light switches in our room very confusing and we had to have our cardkeys reprogrammed a number of times.

The staff in the restaurant were extremely attentive to our every need & could not have been more pleasant.

Lovely stay

Very nice little hotel. Free parking which is great. Breakfast was made to order. Rooms were clean and very spacious
Kevin, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

A normal room

Cleaning is important to me, however bathroom and bed were clean and organised, floor was dirty and dusty, and I couldn't take my shoes off. Without proper lighting, very dark. I may like a more modern area.

Excellent service but a little run down

Lovely staff but starting to get run down. They boast of the £1.8m renovation but that was done in 2013, but it’s now showing signs of having nothing done since. The carpets are tatty and walls marked. The restaurant food is solid and waitstaff attentive. Overall a solid 4 out of 5
