Ok stay
Ok room- but mattress was not that comfortable. Breakfast was ok . Bathroom could do with a deep clean. Position is fab next to an old railway station . Rooms get rather noisy as the banging of some general entrance doors can be heard everywhere. Walls seem to be thin - could hear TV from next room .

Nice staff, food was good, bar service friendly, breakfast great value and tasty. Premises rather far out of of Abingdon if you wanted to stroll into town, but rail service right on hand if you fancy a trip in to Oxford (I had planned on the former, but wish I had considered the latter before the evening had progressed). Nice little bar and good service. Premises is dated - don't be put off, but don't expect it to be like a new Premier Inn; overall a bit expensive taking this into account, but breakfast great value.

We were made very welcome. We were even taken into town to save us getting a taxi.Our room was comfortable & clean. Breakfast was excellent & very filling. The hotel was situated in a very picturesque area next to the railway. However the trains didnt keep us awake.

Poo in the toilet. Need a say more? Thick layer of dust in the bathroom, stains all around the toilet, cobwebs, very bad, no chance it had been cleaned. If I was staying more than one night I’d have walked out. They have a 5 star food hygiene rating thankfully and it was nice home cooked food. I wouldn’t stay again though. Never asked me how my stay was…

Long road to Wales.
A quaint pub with a railway theme next door to busy railway station. Steep stairs to rooms, only one ground floor room. Room fairly basic, no lock on toilet door. Menu limited but food good. Early times for meals.

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.
