Great stay with great service from all staff in hotel and in restaurant. The room had great character as did the whole building, so pleased places like this still exist. Will continue to return here going forward.
2-night trip

6/10

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.

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.

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
