Railway Inn

Proximity to our planned destinations. The cuteness of it being connected to the railway station. Staff were lovely.

Water pressure in the shower and toilet. Took ages to fill and the shower no pressure so it just came out enough to wet us and rinse.

Location fantastic

Cleanliness wasn't very good

Location was great for what we needed

All was good

The location was perfect for our stay. We brought our train loving son who wanted to visit Didcot railway centre, it was only a short train ride away from where we were staying. He loved watching all of the trains pass by our room window. A nice basic hotel with everything you need. The breakfast was very tasty, great start to the day.

We didn't mind mind the noise of the train's through the night but it might not be ideal for someone wanting peace and quiet.

Took my money no refund ignored my emails would not recommend

Everything dump

Attitude of the staff in the bar because I arrived at 9:50. When I asked if it was too late for a drink I was told "no but you'd better hurry up, I want to go home"!

Simpatia do pessoal

Friendly,quirky,handy (very) for the railway station. Great cooked to order breakfast.

Nothing obvious springs to mind. I know people mention the trains but 1) It's called the Railway Inn people! & 2) They certainly didn't bother me so they can't be that bad.

Breakfast was good value

Landlady was rather rude and my husband felt she really couldn't be doing with any questions,especially as we checked if they could check in early. Would not return.

Location brilliant, no noise from trains, staff and customers very friendly, landlady wonderful, great evening meal and breakfast was superb

Rather quirky local pub atmosphere with a railway theme due to location. Good pub food and tick sheet for freshly cooked breakfasts. Accommodation is interesting as conversion of the building including loft spaces.

Some of the rooms can be very hot, especially in the loft spaces, but fans are provided. Train noise goes with the immediate location to a busy line but has never kept us awake.

Breakfast was good value for money.

Nothing

Location

Could do with a tidy up outside

Location. Good breakfast. Friendly staff

Shower had a very weak flow.

Friendly - convenient location - good food - comfortable

Location

Bad odours in the bathroom and sleeping area

nice hotel, good breakfast

due to the heat it was unbelievable hot in the room, couldn't sleep that well

Very homely local. Food and beer very good. (Recommend the English Oak Real Ale, 4.8%). The location was a bit out of the way but this was my choice. A car is needed to get into Abington. The Inn sits almost on the platform of Culham Station, part of the Chiltern line. It's busy but you wouldn't know they were there unless deliberately listening. Room numbers were Platform 1, 2, etc. And they have a lovely big friendly dog.

My room was in the attic and upper flight of stairs were narrow and steep. The En-Suite was clean but a bit tired. The ceiling jutted into the room at various angles so had to be careful not to bump my head.

Typical country pub, landlady friendly and helpful. Location convenient for our stay. Really pleased to have a fan in the room as the weather was hot !! Although right next door to railway station, we were not disturbed by noise of trains

Squeaky hinge on bathroom door.. bathroom could have done with a little more cleaning.

Friendly staff, authentic pub atmosphere. Although next to the train, no noise disturbance

A bit hard to find

Excellent breakfast wide choice of food . Room clean and had all necessities.

Nothing.

Nous étions proche de la gare, mais pas de problème de bruit par le train. Personnel sympa mais chambre moyenne mais propre hormis la salle de bain. Pas de bonde dans le lavabo plein de cheveux. Nos amis ont dû venir prendre leur douche dans notre chambre car pas d'eau dans leur douche. Nous avons fait deux autres hotels dans cette gamme de prix qui étaient bien supérieurs. repas simple ainsi que le petit déjeuner. Nous n'y reviendrons pas

La salle de bain limite propre. pas d'eau dans la douche. Lavabo plein de cheveux.

Calm peaceful ideal location friendly staff comfortable

All ok no issues

Nice food, great location

Free parking

Pub smelt, pillows were split, trains run through the night so you can't sleep.

Perfect location for a visit to Pendon museum, the pub actually exists on the model. Proper unspoilt country pub with a good drop of ale.

Charming location. Just what you would hope for in a country pub.

Excellent value for money. Friendly and helpful staff, agreeable dog, adjacent historically significant victorian station - still very up and running though the silent building remains as an architectural testament to Brunel detail and quality. Others have complained about passing train noise. Bring it on, I say. The Railway Inn windows are now double glazed; The discreet sound of the passing trains is a comforting reminder of the continued existence of sentient humans going about their reassuring business. AI is fine but not for everything.

Victorian buildings are what they are: small rooms, stairs designed for teenage servants, and times have changed. The customer has a choice. But for ambiance, tradition, and the sense of connection with the human race and the history that supports it (much older than you might imagine) I didn’t dislike anything.

Ottima posizione per raggiungere Oxford. Personale gentile

Pulizie delle camere da rivedere

The room was spacious, warm, and clean. Breakfast was very filling with lots of options. The pressure for the shower was a little low, but otherwise, we had a lovely stay. 15 min train to Oxford also enjoyed a great local ale and game of pool in the pub. Would definitely stay again.

A slight drain smelll in the bathroom

Room was quiet considering the inn was adjacent to the railway. The owner was really helpful and accommodating, providing alternative rooms for us catering for my limited mobility.

Lovely people, Good in-house dinner

Great location, great food and great welcome Thank you very much!

The location is ideal for visiting family nearby.

There should be a little more attention to detail regarding cleanliness of my room. i.e. hair, dust/bits in the corners. The bathroom radiator was not working.

Brilliant breakfast and evening meal, warm room.

The friendly welcome

The room was directly next to the railway line,, very noisy, trains start at 4am. Was travelling for work so staying all week, the room not great for this length of stay. Poor shower pressure

Room was cheap basic and clean

I stayed in a loft room, not their fault but wow was it hot in there in the summer.

Staff, setting, four legged bar maid

Could do with a deep clean, new bedding, new fan

The lady that was there was very helpful, polite and chatty, nothing was too much trouble. And I LOVED Brunel, absolute gorgeous dog.

How quiet it was, a place like that should be a lot busier, such a shame. The price of the rooms were quite expensive, there are 11 in total and only 3 rooms rented out (2 for me). I feel if the price was dropped on the weekend it would attract more people, more people spending money in the bar and restaurant, and in turn creating a better atmosphere.

The staff were very kind and helpful. The breakfasts and evening meals were good and tasty. I had meals all three nights of the stay.. Cottage pie, scampi & chips and hunters chicken.

The shower in the room was ok, but not very powerful

Welcoming staff, comfortable room, altogether fine

No problems

Ideal location did what I needed, comfy, staff very friendly. Room had what I needed, breakfast good mainly booked as it was close to the station and where I was going.

Shower was very weak, and bathroom in need of a freshen up.

Lovely little pub. Its a shame it was so quiet. Would definitely recommend for quiet getaway.

Staff friendly and helpful. Bed very comfy....great night's sleep! Breakfast was very good

Access via stairs a bit steep and handrail wobbly Big spider in bathroom...but more an issue with my phobia of them!

Did not have time for the included breakfast but was given an amazing sandwich to take away instead. I also had an evening meal. Very tasty steak, cooked to suit.

Great breakfast

Recommended access was limiting. Should be out between 10 and 3.

Breakfast was good

The ceiling in my top-floor room was head-banging and I had to bend a bit in the shower.

Beds were ok.

Quite upset to see vermin traps behind the beds! Quite cold, had to ask for a heater. Towels were worn and a bit hard. Food indifferent.

Great home cooked filling food. Friendly helpful atmosphere.

Welcoming and friendly staff. Food service quick and home cooked food.

Clean room comfortable bed good food

Warm, quiet, comfortable room, even with trains close by. Friendly staff. Easy run to Heathrow, which was the reason for staying.

Meals were not great, just normal pub food. Pubs like this are an endangered species and worth supporting.

Hi Expedia, First, I'm not sure how you added this property to your prestige e-commerce. The amount I paid for one night's stay is not worth it. The receptionists displayed terrible behaviour; they had pets and smelled all around the bar, dining, and reception area. We went to break fast at 9:05 a.m., and they said it was closed. Not even a single customer was there, but there was no courtesy to ask for coffee or any flexible, continuous breakfast. Imagine, this 2 km/3 km surrounding hotel has no local shop or convenience store to buy. I leave the place without any food or coffee (cover breakfast). Also, she showed her face, which we could not tolerate, and complained to us, "You guys bring outside food without asking permission from us." Firstly, the dining place smelled of pets, and how was she expected to eat? Secondly, there was no food or restaurant after 9pm/9:30pm. Last night, I saw many others bring pizza and other foods to their rooms and open the balcony, too, but still, she raised questions to us. The hotel management should have declared or told us that no outside food was allowed while checking in or booking a reservation with the Expedia portal, but they surprised us by not providing food choices and by not having a food corner within 2 km of this property. There was no proper shower water supply (I complained multiple times), and the towels had a urine-like smell. I don't know how Expedia added this property to your e-commerce.

Rooms were clean and comfortable. Location was good and lots of parking.

The staff were attentive but not welcoming. We hoped for a friendly, cosy pub where we could have a nice meal and a few drinks. Food was very basic but well cooked. Breakfast was ok but limited offer. The overall offer was very basic but lacked care or interest in making the experience a really nice one.

Friendly clean and good food

Nothing

The location was ideal as it enabled me to easily attend our family celebrations.

Great breakfast and dinner, the publican lady was so nice and helpful

Very nice pub and hotel. Love the location right next to the trian tracks.

The B&B is next to a train station the main line to Oxford the trains Where every 20mins throughout the night the noice wasn’t good the main road was also close and from 6am it was busy with traffic. The room was okay pillows where rock hard and the shower room needed a good clean and there was yellow slime around the bottom of the shower tray have a video of required the sink was dirty . They don’t cater for gluten free guests.

Couldn’t sleep because of Trains all night

Friendly staff and owners (and Brunel the dog!) The place is cosy and welcoming, the room was spotless and the bed very comfortable. Perfect for anyone visiting the Culham Science Centre.

Very friendly landlady, she pointed out the places that we were planning to visit. The breakfast was great.

Friendly staff. Good breakfast. Easy access and parking.

Very maroon and dark furniture decor in need of redecoration . Photos look much better on website. All bit shabby, not that clean, e.g. liquid soap obviously refilled many times but outside of container not cleaned so grey scum on it. As indicated by name it is on railway line.

nice breakfast

bit expensive just for one night

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.

Great location and staff were very helpful during my stay. Room was small, but comfortable and breakfast was good. Location for my planned visit worked out very well and close to the event I was attending.

Nothing

As always, Pauline ensured we had a great time: marvellous breakfast, good range of draft drinks and the room we asked for. It has the charm of pubs of the 20th century; nothing flashy or ostentatious just good food and good service.

Nothing ( without spoiling its character )

What a lovely place! The owners are lovely and the food was amazing and very well priced, definitely going to be staying again when I’m back in the area

The food was good.

We noticed the bed bugs too late. Can't recommended staying here.

Very friendly staff & helpful evening meals were good & breakfast was exceptional set me up for the day,

The skylight window in my bedroom didn't open so was a bit warm but there was a fan in the room to help still slept ok
