Stayed in one of their Superior rooms and the ambiance was phenomenal. The only negative was the size of the room. Located very central in Abingdon. Value for money was great and the breakfast was absolutely delicious.

Great location and reasonable restaurant but property in room areas is tired and shabby. Desk in room small and cluttered, no comfortable chair. Gloomy lighting. Bed comfortable.

Lovely hotel, brilliant service, breakfast was amazing… However, bed was terrible. Huge dip in the middle causing pain & discomfort to back. Room was stunning, however very dark.

Room very dark. Loud air conditioning unit outside the window made sleeping impossible.

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.

Une pause très sympathique.

Une belle étape pour visiter Oxford et les alentours. Ce petit hôtel traditionnel est à dimension familiale. Personnel très agréable. A l'écoute et très disponible. Repas et petit-déjeuner excellent et copieux. La chambre 1 était parfaite et propre. Une salle de bain spacieuse et un fer et une table à repasser! Très pratique. Calme malgré la proximité de la route. Et une petite court aménagée à l'arrière très mignonne ! Bref, que du bonheur d'avoir découvert et séjourné dans ce charmant hôtel.

Great location, friendly staff, clean rooms and the food is amazing.
Gavin, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Perfect, price worthy but dirty floors.

I really enjoyed the service and the guy in the checking has some humor which I love. First I really appreciated the room, it looked cozy and u also commented on that, but when night fell and the lights by the bed was lit, I saw how very dirty and stained the floors where. Bug brown spots made me look for bugs but no bugs, so no worry but since the bedsheets was clean, the toilet was pristine I am a bit disappointed and a bit concerned why they did not just wet vacuum the floors once in a while?
Ulf, 1-night trip

Nice straff. Superbly cooked breakfast! Lots of stairs to get to the room. Bathroom smelled a bit mouldy but was very clean. So was the rest of our room.
