Lovely area, friendly staff. Rooms a fair size but a little tired, could do with some TLC. Breakfast ok, came fairly quickly but again have had better.

Was a nice stay but what let the visit down was no one on the front desk and had to whats app the owner and was texted the instructions on how to get in my room for self check in.

Potential to be “Great”
My wife and I recently stayed at AbingPlough House. It’s a lovely period cottage with character and external cottage style thatched bedrooms forming a pretty terrace along side the main building. It’s run by new staff now for the last few months. I noticed that it was in need of a little TLC however, I spoke to the new manageress who I must say does everything from booking to cleaning, repairs and breakfast the best she could and was always at hand, she is very attentive to everything she does and is a credit to the business.
After speaking with her I realised she’s not getting the support that she should from the business owner who is the letdown here.
It would be supportive if the owner helped with supplying basic materials like paint inside and out just to freshen up also attend to the loose ends that I noticed. AbingPlough House is a good quiet relaxing place to stay for travellers or visitors to the area, it’s also set in a pretty countryside location.
Like I said it’s a good place but, with a little support from the owner it will be a “GREAT PLACE” with a great manageress who has ambition to achieve.

Pay extra and stay elsewhere
The oddest check in experience I’ve ever had. Having messaged the property when I booked letting them know my arrival time I arrived to find an empty bar and no sign of anyone (other than a key on the desk with note from someone else saying they had left because the smell of smoke was so bad).
When someone arrived a few minute after I rang the ball he preceeded to facetime someone (whilst repeatedly turning the camera to me in some sort of odd visual inspection) and through very broken English we managed to get me to a room about 25 minutes later.
The room was comfy enough in fairness, but not clean. Hairs in the shower, dustballs on the floor and a dirty towel shoved under the fridge because it leaked. Wi-fi had a “one minute on / one minute off policy” which wasn’t overly helpful either.
Safe to say I won’t be returning.

Awful Experience - DO NOT STAY HERE
Had a message asking what time we would be arriving - no reply from property
Upon arrival we were not made to feel very welcome, we felt like we were an inconvenience.
We were Asked to fill in what we wanted for breakfast by ticking boxes, which was fine. Then were told no other food options available - Thank goodness
Room very old and quaint. Lots of equipment filled the room and little to no space to move around in. Electrical cables trailing over the floor and a tripping hazard.
Slept - not very well - mattress lumpy
Breakfast - well ….. toast that never really saw the toaster and warm not hot. A single Sausage that never really saw the grill/frying pan and looked undercooked - obviously we didn’t eat it. Hash browns not cooked properly and cool.
Bathroom ok but the Shower which my husband had was hot for him. He only had a very quick and short shower, approx 4 minutes spent there. When I went for my shower it was freezing cold.
Towels so threadbare and rough and small and barely covered your body.
We booked for two nights as we were seeing friends, but it was so bad we left after the first night and didn’t stay the second night. Nobody to complain to on returning our key. Definitely will not be returning.
If you want a lovely place to stay and a warm welcome - BOOK ELSEWHERE

The is place was nothing like the pictures. It was a disgrace. As a woman traveling alone I did not feel safe so left. The lady on reception was nice but that’s the only upside. Avoid at all costs. They would not refund my money

Ok for a cheapie one night
My check in experience was rather unusual. After pressing 2 doorbells for attention I was greeted by a young woman who looked like she was wearing pyjamas! Walking through the door my room looked amazing. However, on closer inspection it was very mediocre. Door to the shower room looked grubby with dust on the ledges with dirty marks around the handle. There were dirty brown marks on the shower curtain and the mats around the toilet and in front of the basin didn’t look fresh/washed. The liquid soaps provided were equivalent to coloured water. The internet system felt complicated and I never was able to get logged on. You could call a number for help but I didn’t feel this was ok to do at 10.30pm at night.
Breakfast: it was like Fawlty Towers! You had to pre-order breakfast at check-in and also choose your time. There were no spoons for cereal, the cereal dispenser didn’t work and the kettle didn’t turn off once it reached boiling point. One of the guests went to used it and almost scalded their hand. There was only one person doing breakfast and although I had requested breakfast for 8.30am, I wasn’t greeted and only acknowledged some time after some other guests had been served, so it was lucky that I wasn’t in a hurry to get away. Two full breakfasts were served to guests who hadn’t ordered them and were promptly taken away then magically two breakfasts were served to a couple who sat down long after me. Aah, I see, the two unwanted breakfasts were given to them!

We booked this for 2 nights because it was close to Oxford and had laundry - this place is well... very rustic - low ceilings steep narrow stairs to a room with super tippy floors - not at all what we thought we have booked - Expedia advertised laundry in room - there wasn't - large beds, small beds ! Tippy floors set off my vertigo so bad - breakfast was fine - they are trying but it's not at all what we needed - we only stayed one night Expedia refused to reimburse us even tho the place didn't have what we booked and needed - I don't recommend it even tho the wee girl working there was super sweet and trying very hard - rustic/tacky/uncomfortable

The place is very dated and not particularly clean, although this could be forgiven were it not for the terrible customer service. We are still waiting for the refund for cancelled nights or any acknowledgement that it will be processed weeks after the fact. Expedia have been useless too, all round disaster of a trip. I would not recommend this hotel and I will not be using Expedia again.
