My husband and I stayed for 2 nights in this beautiful old coaching inn in Abingdon. Despite the dated decor, the facilities were clean and adequate with extremely helpful and friendly staff. We were so pleased to hear that the premises is due to undergo a total refurbishment in June 2013 and look forward to staying there again towards the... More

We stayed for 2 nights right before Christmas. There were four of us--me, my wife, and our two young daughters ages 8 and 11. The Inn was quaint and comfortable. It dates to the year 1605, so we expected it to be rough around the edges. But it wasn't. They told us that a large makeover will occur in 2013,... More

I had the unfortunate circumstance of having to stay at this hotel with work for three nights in November 2012. The room I was put in was beyond appalling - especially at the rate of £75 per night. I wouldn't wish it on anybody. My room was incredibly small, with the wash basin in the bedroom rather than the bathroom.... More

My friend and I stayed here as we were going to a birthday party at another pub in Abingdon. The building is very old, creaky and quirky but that is what makes it good - it is a real olde worlde experience! The staff are very friendly and accommodating - we arrived for breakfast twenty mins after it finished but... More

On the website the Hotel looks really nice and the prices are definitely in the 3*/4* range, so I was surprised to find that this was a 2* hotel when I arrived. It is a nice old building and my room was spacious. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was fine and the bar and restaurant are very nice. However,... More

My Husband and I stayed for 1 night in this hotel whilst attending a wedding in a nearby village. We had tried to book a room in a few neighboring hotels but all were fully booked so we decided this hotel was our next best option. As a local to the area I had been to the establishment many years... More

I stayed one night, the hotel is very close to town and the river, with a bus stop right outside the front so noise starts early. There is good onsite parking - if you can find it ! Follow the Council Offices sign and turn right just before Waitrose car park, follow till road almost ends, car park is sign... More

Don't try and find the car park around the back before you check in - you won't be able to. Our non smoking room, No 9, reeked of tobacco so we changed to No 16, up another flight of stairs. By now we had had a good view of highly stained stair carpet. The room was dated but clean, bed... More
