One night at the Railway Inn

This was a basic hotel with basic pub grub. Very uncomfortable pillows and I had a terrible night as my room was so noisy. It is right on the railway station, and although the trains were not such an issue with a room at the back, the main road most certainly was! I hardly had any sleep. The breakfast was measly. On the plus side, the staff were lovely and the landlady Pauline was very kind and accomodating above and beyond.

Railway memorabilia was of interest; a broken chain on the wash hand basin plug was annoying. There were no instructions for finding the property which was difficult. The property was actually in Culham and not Abingdon

Hidden Gem

Really nice old school pub/Inn right next to the railway station with a long long history, not a poncey gastro pub, a proper old school pub. Really nice staff and really good prices, food was great, locals that I met were all very nice, room was cracking. Quite a few trains go past as you would imagine, but I didn’t find them an issue and slept fine with the window open, they get fewer and fewer the later it gets. I will definitely be booking this one again. This would suit anyone travelling for work, anyone wanting to discover some UK history, train buffs or spontaneous explorers.

Comfy bed

Nice comfy bed and a decent size room. Could do with a fridge though. Breakfast was delicious, but they had no vegan options. I may stay here again, but only if the price drops. It’s too expensive for what’s on offer. I’d really like to see a fridge in the room. It makes all the difference.
