Breakfast very nice and delicious with many choices to choose. The room was quite small and old.
Front desk service was very good and polite.
Location very good, near the centre of the city.
Lots of parking space, reservations is not necessary.

Fabulous staff, couldn't be more helpful. Food is wonderful, service great.
Down side is the parking! Sat Nav takes you to the front of the hotel, car park is at the back which is hard to find. The hotel has no instructions on anything, complicated system on getting the lights etc to work. Air con is great but again, no instructions. A simple fix would be to have a folder on how to make things work!
No lifts which for someone with mobility problems is a huge issue.

Beautiful area. Lovely clean room.
Only downside of coming in winter or during bad weather is the restaurant and hotel are not all in one building. They are only a few steps apart but enough to get wet. Also not great for elderly due to cobbles floor outside area. But that’s all part of the character of the building.
Will definitely be staying again as we live Abingdon.

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?

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.

Great if you like historical inns.
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.

A normal room
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.
