Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Nice staff, food was good, bar service friendly, breakfast great value and tasty. Premises rather far out of of Abingdon if you wanted to stroll into town, but rail service right on hand if you fancy a trip in to Oxford (I had planned on the former, but wish I had considered the latter before the evening had progressed). Nice little bar and good service. Premises is dated - don't be put off, but don't expect it to be like a new Premier Inn; overall a bit expensive taking this into account, but breakfast great value.

We were made very welcome. We were even taken into town to save us getting a taxi.Our room was comfortable & clean. Breakfast was excellent & very filling. The hotel was situated in a very picturesque area next to the railway. However the trains didnt keep us awake.

Poo in the toilet. Need a say more? Thick layer of dust in the bathroom, stains all around the toilet, cobwebs, very bad, no chance it had been cleaned. If I was staying more than one night I’d have walked out. They have a 5 star food hygiene rating thankfully and it was nice home cooked food. I wouldn’t stay again though. Never asked me how my stay was…

Long road to Wales.
A quaint pub with a railway theme next door to busy railway station. Steep stairs to rooms, only one ground floor room. Room fairly basic, no lock on toilet door. Menu limited but food good. Early times for meals.

A fairly standard village pub atmosphere, the staff were pleasant, food and drink were nice, the room was adequate for my overnight stay, as expected being adjacent to a main line, there is occasional noise but nothing too disturbing.

Stop on the Thames Path National Trail.
Stayed at the Railway Inn as a stop on the Thames Path National Trail. Great hosts, lovely room and enjoyed the breakfast. Enjoyed the Abingdon Ale! Worth knowing there is no food on a Saturday night, we got sandwiches from the garage up the road.
