“This historic inn exudes character, evident in its quirky, stylish decor and labyrinthine corridors that are surprisingly well-signposted. The staff's attentiveness, particularly in accommodating requests and ensuring a comfortable stay, stands out, as does the quality of the breakfast selection. While rooms possess individual charm, some are compact, and parking, though a welcome amenity in Abingdon, requires careful navigation.”
