Lodging in Abingdon, Oxfordshire

“We have frequently eaten here and, until recently, we have received good service and great food at a reasonable price. However, on two recent visits, we received poor service, having to ask for a drink, water etc. They seemed short staffed and their regular staff did not seem to be there. Today we visited and received dried out food although it wasn’t even hot. I returned my food and asked for it to be removed from my bill which I was told would happen. I did not take up the offer of a replacement so did not eat anything. We paid a total of £33.00 for two starters, one of which was returned and not replaced, two glasses of wine and two teas. I realised after paying that they had not deducted the cost of my inedible food. I tried to call by ‘phone but no reply. I will not be returning. It is such a shame as the surroundings are lovely. Obviously a change of staff has had an impact but I really could not recommend eating there where as previously I would.

I have today re-visited The Dog House and have now updated my review. We were served very quickly by Niamh who was pleasant and helpful. The service was excellent throughout our meal. Some familiar staff are now back and the whole atmosphere is once again, good.
Obviously, the previous staff were not the usual staff so it is such a shame that this had such a negative impact on the service and food.
I will now be more than happy to return there and would be happy to recommend The Dog House as a place to visit.”

“I stayed for a weekend to attend a friend's wedding in the village. The location was perfect. I could get to everything, including the bus to Oxford, within minutes. The house and rooms were comfortable and the epitome of cosy. Susie, the hostess, is wonderfully kind, friendly, and helpful. Absolutely recommend!”

“After being let down by M&S who cancelled my order of a sofa after 3 months, and finding nothing suitable that had good reviews in John Lewis (many mention sagging after not many months), I was delighted to find such a good range of quality sofas in Lee Longlands' showroom in Abingdon. Prices are high as their sofas are mostly top end brands but I found a Parker Knoll that met my needs prefectly. The salespeople were helpful without being at all pushy. Delivery was excellent. Time will tell how well the sofa wears but so far I'm entirely happy.”
