Room was clean , Most of staff were very friendly and helpful , Evening meals in restaurant were good and location was good
Room was tired and dark , needs updating , Room we had was noisy as no double glazing and road noise was late into night and again in morning with people (staff) arriving banging front door , They ran out of fresh pastries on first morning for a breakfast

4.0 / 10.0
Staff were lovely and very helpful as I arrived very late on a Sunday evening. Breakfast was nice however the hot water wasn't very hot for Tea. Lots of choice on the continental breakfast although I believe I was the only guest. Plus the option for cooked breakfast, which was also lovely.
Unfortunately the windows in the rooms are extremely old and thin. There was a draft but also I was woken up to the sound of many cars driving very fast outside through puddles from 4.30am. On top of this I went to have a shower and unfortunately there was no hot water. With the hotel being closed after 10pm on a Sunday there was no staff on site but when I noticed the non existent hot water it was too late and I needed to leave for a work meeting. This should be an essential for all hotels.

The friendliness of the staff. The closeness of the rooms to the restaurant. The comfiness of the room & the bath in the ensuite
Some evidence of damp problems in the wall but understood given the wonderful age of the building. Slight odour in corridor
The history & character made up for this !

As caveats above

Room was warm. Bed was comfy. Generally everything was clean and in working order
Very noisy due to road traffic. Not helped by the windows not closing properly so there was a draft as well. Given the road it really needs double glazing. Breakfast service was a bit chaotic, though the food itself was ok.

Breakfast was great good portions of everything and well cooked
6.0 / 10.0
Parking outside the hotel is large and no problem to park. Check in was easy.
The bed was comfortable enough. Space to hang clothing. TV is big enough with lots of channels to choose from if you want to watch it
Breakfast was good with a chouce of full English, Continental and smaller bites. Served between 7 and 9am weekdays and Saturdays and from 8 til 10am on Sundays. There was a cheerful eastern European lady who served us breakfast 1 day and took the time to ask if we'd enjoyed breakfast.
Our room was on the 1st floor and overlooked a corridor on the other side with no view whatsoever. The room was very tired and stuck in the 80s. A complete refurb is needed. We spent 6 nights in the hotel and the bed was only made once during our stay - the bathroom bin only emptied once. These are small details which didn't bother us overall but need to be pointed out. We felt there was a high turnover of visitors and not enough time for cleaning staff to go through all the rooms. We had booked 6 breakfasts but didn't get to eat on the last day as we were leaving early. It would have been nice if the guy at the checkout had asked if we wanted a take out breakfast - it is possible esp when it comes to continental breakfasts ie croissants. Alternatively, deducting 2 breakfasts as a commercial gesture wouldn't have gone a miss.
Would we return? No and we are not picky.

Lovely spot close to Wantage (Our son lives in Wantage) very warm and cozy room. Very comfortable bed. Lovely welcoming staff. We stayed in the rear of the property and it was very quiet and peaceful even on a busy Saturday night in the pub. Breakfast was fabulous, a massive choice to suit everyone. Perfect for us while visiting family. Will definitely be staying again.

Great breakfast
10.0 / 10.0
The breakfast was very good, the selection gave us a wide choice. The cooked breakfast was a lovely start to the day, the bacon and sausages were of high quality. The staff at breakfast and the evening meals were always professional and
friendly. We very much liked the dining rooms all of which had a different decor and furnishings and photos of Abingdon, much better than large rooms which could seem empty or noisy. Very thoughtful.
Only things that were above and beyond their control eg a pool of water to step into on the forecourt due to a downpour.

The staff were great, especially Steve who provided excellent Customer service in a friendly and professional manner.
The food choices were good, with a reasonable choice of vegan and veggie options.
Although the rooms were very clean, offered tea and coffee making facilities and the beds were very comfortable, we felt that the decor and furniture were dated and looking very tired.
A fresher more modern look in the rooms would definitely have enhanced our stay further.

Food is always excellent. Glazed pork belly is utterly delicious
Try everything!
Rooms comfortable, warm. Lovely hot shower
A very welcoming atmosphere all round
I dont like that customers have the option to add a gratuity when paying by card. It doesn't go directly to the staff it gets paid via the company.
The old tradition of tipping should stay as it has been Infinitum!!
Tip them the old way.
