Approach to Milton hill is lovely well sign posted as were the disabled parking. Beautiful entrance and smelt lovely. Staying on a Secret Escapes break we were delighted we stayed in the house, room 406 . Great views of the back of the Great Park . Squirrels, deer ,rabbits and a plethora of birds . The room a good size updated bathroom was good with a sensible wardrobe case stand and equipped with iron ,hairdryer and ironing board tea and coffee and tinned water nice touch . It in places needed a little tlc but the views compensated for a bit of missing paint . Dining room with its side dining areas had great views too though again the main area is a little dated but served its purpose.. Food was from the normal menu with price adjustment if you go over the set allowance. This is by far the best way of doing it ,why other places don't do this I don't know . A word about staff they whilst obviously were under pressure maintained an excellent level of service ,attention and please take some cash down to dinner and tip good service. Our servers were almost shocked we cash tipped them saying it's now a rare occurrence. This bring me on to lost stars firstly it needs a coat of paint in places desperately the building has some beautiful features but look tired . Secondly the bar floor is a disgrace wooden floor scratched to obliteration . Seems small observations ? Yes they are but detail to the discerning guest is a huge part of a enjoyable stay . And finally the old cash chestnut . They don't take payment in cash it should be our choice not the establishment. Now a word about the spa nice pool not big with 10 people in it it felt full, steam and sauna again compact but adequate shame jacuzzi wasn't working but hey things go wrong changing room (male) too small lockers faulty .So in brief take cash, tidy public areas and I would have given five stars happily. I also would if given a” in the house” room do a return visit to do an update review

This is a very decent hotel and it offers perfectly nice accommodation. The whole place is a bit of a warren of stairs and fire doors and don't expect the floors to be flat - because they aren't. This is just a product of the building structure and many will say it's a charming feature - although walking uphill to the bed is a fairly unique experience. The bathroom was very well appointed and the shower/bath was superb. Lashings of hot water which was like standing under a waterfall at times! The only downsides were that the room was quite dark and it would have been nice to have a towel rail in the bathroom plus some shelf space to put toiletries on... but these are minor gripes. The breakfasts were excellent and the service was second to none. If you're looking for a stopover place when visiting Oxford, then this place would be a good choice.

Interesting building right next to the railway station. Perfectly adequate and comfortable room with complimentary television, tea, coffee and biscuits, and generous ensuite. Location is a short walk to picturesque Culham Lock on the River Thames in one direction, and the village of Clifton Hampden in the other. The restaurant offered a good choice of meals and the quality of the food and the service was exceptional. The next day, we came down to breakfast at the pre-arranged early 7am, and the two lovely ladies who cooked and served us the previous evening were there waiting to take our order - a full English cooked breakfast. The Railway Inn was the perfect choice for an overnight stop to split our journey. Thank you for such an enjoyable stay.

Parking is very convenient, breakfast is rich in variety, and the front desk service is warm. It is worth coming again. The location is excellent, the supporting facilities are complete, and the room facilities are very new. I will stay here next time.

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.
