Vale of White Horse District Hotels with Bars

We enjoyed the carvery at Hilton Garden Inn Abingdon this weekend. We were a party of 10, with ages ranging from late teens to early 80s. The hotel is lovely, with a warm welcome on arrival from the staff at reception. We sat in the bar for a while as we waited for all of our party to arrive. The bar is welcoming and comfortable and the drinks reasonably priced. At 12:30 we made our way to the restaurant and waited for a while to be seated. This was our first visit to the carvery and it would have been useful for a member of staff to explain the process to us - but we watched what other customers were doing and followed suit. The 3 course lunch is all self service and drinks are obtained from the bar. For starter there was a choice of soup with homemade bread and salad with cold meats. I had the salad and it was very nice, especially the potato salad which was delicious. The carvery was fantastic. With a choice of pork, beef and chicken, potatoes, cauliflower cheese, mixed vegetables and Yorkshire puddings. Unfortunately some of the serving platters were empty when we got there and we had to wait a while for them to be refilled. I imagine this was due to the sitting starting at 12:30 so an immediate rush of people. The beef was absolutely delicious, as were the potatoes and the Yorkshire puddings were truly scrumptious. I understand from one of my guests that the chicken was perfection. The vegetables were undercooked for my taste but the cauliflower cheese was lovely. We had a really great meal. There were a few improvements that could be made to improve the experience but nothing to put me off going back for another family birthday in a few weeks time.

Very cute country hotel, the rooms are small and enough to live in, the style is lovely, the restaurant on the first floor is great, the fireplace feels good, the food is good, very good

This is a lovely, modern hotel. The room was small - we booked the queen room - but it was clean and comfortable with daily house keeping. The shower was powerful and there was plenty of hot water. There was some lovely shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and body lotion in the room. We had tea, coffee, water and biscuits in the room and this was replenished daily. Breakfast was lovely and came with juice and a really good cup of coffee. The staff are so attentive. We felt like VIP guests. We ate at the Snooty Mehmaan twice and the food is exceptional, probably the best Indian food we’ve ever had. The hotel is in a great location for exploring the local area. I would highly recommend a stay at this hotel.
