Great place to stay

Why stay in a bland hotel chain when you can stay here where there are really friendly people, the food is good and the room clean and comfortable?

Hidden Gem

Really nice old school pub/Inn right next to the railway station with a long long history, not a poncey gastro pub, a proper old school pub. Really nice staff and really good prices, food was great, locals that I met were all very nice, room was cracking. Quite a few trains go past as you would imagine, but I didn’t find them an issue and slept fine with the window open, they get fewer and fewer the later it gets. I will definitely be booking this one again. This would suit anyone travelling for work, anyone wanting to discover some UK history, train buffs or spontaneous explorers.

Nice friendly hotel
David, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Comfy bed

Nice comfy bed and a decent size room. Could do with a fridge though. Breakfast was delicious, but they had no vegan options. I may stay here again, but only if the price drops. It’s too expensive for what’s on offer. I’d really like to see a fridge in the room. It makes all the difference.
Louise, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Ideal for our short stay, comfy bed, lovely staff, very reasonably priced. Would recommended if you are in the area, very convenient for Abingdon.
Janet, 2-night trip

David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very comfortable, clean with a nice shower. A very good breakfast. A train spotters dream with the accommodation right next to the platform.
Alan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Had a really good nights sleep. Despite the train line being fully active, could not hear during the stay. Would stay again when next in the area.
Mark, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Friendly staff
Martyn, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A fairly standard village pub atmosphere, the staff were pleasant, food and drink were nice, the room was adequate for my overnight stay, as expected being adjacent to a main line, there is occasional noise but nothing too disturbing.
Mike, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Very poorly maintained tired unloved property. Hair in my dinner. Mould on the kettle tray in my room.
