Old Abbey House

Abbey House is not really a hotel as there are no staff or typical hotel facilities but we knew that before we booked. Check in was easy and help should you need anything was only a phone call away. We had a lovely, comfortable room in a beautiful house in the perfect location. Garden, parks and river walks on one side, historic Abingdon town centre with all the amenities you could need on the other. Unfortunately the area near the river was flooded when we went, but it was fine near the house and in town. Buses into Oxford were nearby and frequent until late in the evening.

Our room (4) had a kitchenette, the hob was useful but we missed having a microwave and toaster which I feel would have been much more useful than a full oven as on a short break you only really need to make breakfast or light meals. The heating was a bit temperamental, we had to call management once because it was a bit too cold but they were very responsive. It would be better if the guests had some degree of control over it.

A localização, o edifício e o quarto espaçoso

A ausência de pessoal, a ausência de pequeno-almoço e o facto de uma das cortinas não abrir.

L'emplacement était top. Il y avait un parking. La chambre était spacieuse.

Les toilettes étaient très sales. Le gobelet à brosse à dents était sale. Il n'y a pas de personnel à l'accueil, nous avons dû appeler un numéro. Le badge est distribué par un appareil qui fait le check-in. Tellement impersonnel !

Very clean and centrally located. Two mins walk to the centre

Beds and pillows very hard - would have struggled to have stayed another night. There are no staff there at all and no facilities so it’s like an abnb. Rooms are not made up and tea etc not replenished during your stay.

Really lovely, clean and spacious room. Particularly food fridge/freezer, kettle and hob helpful for preparing and storing baby’s milk and food. Friendly staff and quick responses when asking for things such as additional key card and earlier check in. Was self contained too which was nice.

Nothing, was very happy. Thank you.

Everything

All was good

The place, as usual is beautiful. Staff are so attentive and lovely, they even remembered us from a previous stay. We will continue to stay at Old Abbey House again and again. Rooms are immaculate.

N/a

It was really well located for the purpose of my trip and the gardens beautiful with lovely walks.

There are a couple of small things I would suggest to the management/owners to make it great. A bottle of water or two in the rooms would be really welcomed. Also a mirror in the bathroom that can be manoeuvred for putting make-up on would have made it so you’re not having to stretch around the sink to get closer to the mirror. Both minor things, it would make great additions. Thank you!

地理位置优越

第一次住酒店住到呼吸困难。酒店两个房间、一个厨房、一个客厅，只有主卧的一个小窗开了几厘米的窗，空气完全不流通。晚上睡觉呼吸困难、头疼，几次跑到户外，而且窗帘无法拉上，一拉上更加不通气了，只能忍受呼吸困难和光线直射床上。房东说因为老房子的缘故，可以开换气扇，一开换气扇噪音大到讲话声音都听不清了。其实客厅有两个窗户原本是可以开的，却被钉死了。当地朋友说，是为了省钱。我住过欧洲、澳洲、亚洲很多古建筑酒店和民宿，第一次觉得英国人这么抠门。

I didn't expect to carry all my luggage to the top floor of the house. It was hard work when there is no staff to help and no lift.
