We arrived for a family funeral and were pleasently surprised by the welcoming staff anf the lovely bar area. However when we got to our rooms it was not so great. My nan has more up to date furniture in her lounge and bathroom than this hotel and she is 98. The rooms and bathrooms were so tired and need... More

For saying this is one of an Old English inns chain I think they could do better. Staff where great, attentive and polite but the tired rooms let the stay down. I paid a premium price for one of the family rooms because there was nothing else available. Room was tired, décor in poor condition and a noisy fan that... More

Staying at this place is weirdly comforting, like visiting an old aunty in her slightly dilapidated, sprawling home in the country. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. There is no elevator, so you have to drag your suitcases up and down stairs and through narrow hallways. The rooms are worn and have not been redecorated in about 100 years,... More

lovely place, very homely looking and plenty of off road parking. upon arrival it was evident that the main aim of the staff was to ensure your stay was enjoyable and comfortable. drinks in the bar was fairly priced and a very good choice of real ales. a great choice on the menu and the staff even let me mix...

We chose the Dog house, as we needed to be close to Abingdon school and Oxford rugby ground. This is the second time I have stayed and once again I cannot fault the level of service from the staff, friendly and efficient from the moment you arrive until you check out. We booked a family room for the three of... More

Went for lunch based on friends recommendation. Food was above average quality pub-grub; nothing fancy just good and filling. My wife and myself had the chicken and mushroom pie - while this is a deconstructed pie, it was really very good. But the place itself has a wonderful ambiance and the staff are friendly and attentive, Unlike other reviewers, food... More

booked here for the night before and after wedding in January - dropped by a couple of weeks ago to surprise hubby on his 50th - we stayed over again. Each time the staff were friendly and helpful - the rooms were clean (and full of character) Not an issue but a point to note - restuarant service is slow... More

We stayed at the Dog House on the recommendation of family who stayed last summer. The hotel is set in lovely countryside but is also very close to Oxford and Blenheim Palace. We had a room at the front of the hotel which was very cosy, clean and warm. The bed was very comfortable and although the decor was a... More
