Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Absolutely terrible experience. Building is actually old stables converted to small rooms. Very basic but this is not the issue. The issue was the smell in the room, very strong chemical odour. Dead insects are indicating it was some sort of insecticide. It was so strong that I've got headache, heartburn and it's triggered asthma so requested solution. I've been shown another room but it was actually worse. After 30 mins I called reception but they havent answer or returned call. Contacted Expedia same result they couldn't get hold of them. I left the property after just over an hour unable to air out chemical smell or speak to anyone to resolve the issue despite owner seen me through the massive window leaving. I had to book another hotel nearby to sleep. I wouldn't be upset about it if owner would speak to me and try to find solution but instead I've been ignored what is not great when owner ignores health concern of the guest.

Stunning location in the countryside!

We are visiting from Australia and this place is absolutely awesome! Amazing location yet within walking distance to pubs / restaurants and town centre. Incredibly quiet being in a country setting and lots of opportunities for walks by the river. The staff were welcoming and friendly and we were able to have breakfast outside in the lovely garden. We felt well looked after. Highly recommend!

One night stay in Abingdon UK

Room was adequate without being palatial - TV was far too small for the size of the room - no racks for suitcases - TV remote didn’t work properly - Hot tap in bathroom needs a new washer - continuously leaked and obviously needed replacing for some time - could not get towel warmer to work - Property was well presented otherwise and quite comfortable - very quiet location Included breakfast was good and certainly accounted for our needs - included parking always a bonus in UK - a little work would make this venue a first class stay - quite close to town -

Excellent stay for Abingdon and Oxford

Comfortable room which opened up to a patio and well kept colourful garden. Staff helpful and friendly. Weather was sunny so we were able to have breakfast in the garden. Breakfast was excellent. Easy walking to Abingdon and buses every ten minutes to Oxford.
