    "Enjoyable stay" (108933335)

    service at the bar and at breakfast was excellent

    Found the room No5 rather claustrophobic as the windows looked out onto a wall

    "Had a lovely stay, staff were freindly and helpfull. Would recommend to freinds and family." (107678526)

    Bar and resturant was excellent and well priced. Room was of good size and cleanliness.

    Toilet flush was loose, some tiles were loose, no wi fi or free sat

    "Enjoyed the accommodation that was good value for money" (107819971)

    Overall appearance of hotle and its history and general facilities. Food also was reasonable value with breakfast of excellent value and quality. Good stock of drinks within bar area and good outside facilities

    Condition of room whilst OK needed some repairs and television was impossible to watch. Fan noise from kitchen was also a little unpleasent.

    "If you want modern,contemporary surroundings then this hotel is not for you. It is an Inn that has been around for hundreds of years and has been furnished and decorated in keeping with its history. The rooms are comfortable, rustic and charming and the variety of cooked breakfast options was excellent given the relatively small amount of money I had paid for the room. Value for money was excellent. " (107366183)

    Room 1 large with a comfortable bed. Real ale in the Inn. Large car park. Surrounded by lovely countryside. Rustic and charming.

    Staff appeared in short supply. Guest reception covered by the sole bar tender who was very busy due to a warm afternoon that had attracted passing trade. More staff arrived when kitchen opened at 6pm. Cooked breakfast delicious once it had arrived but this took some 35 minutes. Had I been a business traveller I would have had to leave on an empty stomach. I am prepared to accept that this was a one-off. Maybe someone had to go to the shop to get some eggs!

    "Hotel was nice and most of the staff were friendly. The surrounding area was a pleasure to travel round." (107868450)

    Spacious hotel in a scenic area. Friendly staff. Great bed, duvet and pillows!

    Not enough history of the hotel readily available. The Chef needs to go on a training course on how to cook and what food to buy. The menu did not reflect what you got on your plate. The room was cold on arrival. The kettle only worked if you had enough water in it,otherwise there wass a dodgy connection. No flannels supplied. Directions to the hotel was poor and the knowledge of the area by staff was poor.

    "Stayed in the hotel due to the need to attend a meeting around the prospects of redundancy, would definately stay again, and would also use the hotel as somewhere to stay with my family. Very good." (107397904)

    Staff were superb, food brilliant, and general atmosphere excellant. Absolutely stunning value for money.

    Staff very accommodating. Quiet, clean and comfortable room. Bed and pillows extremely comfortable!

    No bad points except perhaps a small amount of redecorating needed where light fittings have been changed and pictures removed from walls etc.

    "Good" (107804050)

    Room was warm and food was good. The waiting staff were friendly.

    The Receptionist was a bit abrupt. The room was beneath a stairwell which creaked badly when people went up and down. The TV remote did not work and the TV was so small it was difficult to see the screen from the bed.

    "I must admit to have been rather surprised at the quality of this hotel. I booked due to its location, so close the Frilford Heath Golf Club and didn’t expect very much from the pictures on this web and the price of only £50 for a double with single occupancy. On arrival I was pleasantly surprised. I was given a room at the top of the hotel in a roof conversion. The room was huge, very clean well equipped with wide screen LCD TV, Stereo, sofa etc. Would defiantly visit again." (97515936)

    Quality of the room, price

    No Sky TV in the rooms or in the Bar.

    Our room was comfortable and clean. It was of good size and we had a great view of the countryside.

    I only grumbled about pillows which were hard and uncomfortable for me

    Liked having a bath & shower in the bathroom. Towels were a good size. Plus TV & tea making bits. A comfortable room.

    Only complaint would have liked the heating to come on in the room about 6.00am. Radiators did not get warm at any time. As from overseas recently I like it warm, but I was not cold at all.

Altogether a pleasant experiance which we can recomend and will be happy to repeat" (97304921)

    Warm and efficient early afternoon welcome. Cold day warm bedroom, a simple requirement but not always met!

    "I have stayed at this accommodation several times and it is very clean and comfortable with good food provided, however as a business traveller I am disapointed that the last order for food is 9.00pm but more concerned that a cooked breakfast is only available to eat after 7.30am this making travel more difficult as traffic volume increases significantly. I would recommend that this should be adjusted to 6.30am." (97923451)

    It was welcoming, warm and friendly: the bar and dining area - especially the bar, with the open fireplace - is excellent.

    The drainage in the sink in the bathroom was very slow: I thought the bathroom was, generally, not as 'nice' as I might have expected for the price. However, the shower was good.

    "Generally it was warm, clean and welcoming. However, we had an evening meal on the Sunday night. I went for the safe option and had a rustic burger which was OK but my wife had a butternut squash lasangne which was swimming in oil and only had one small piece of squash in it." (97257856)

    It was clean, warm and spacious.

    Bed was not very comfortable. You could feel the springs, especially on one side. Shower took ten minutes to get warm. Toilet did not flush properly.

There were so many choices on the menu and the food was so good that we were tempted to stay another night just to try out some different dishes. Very good value for money and one of the best inns we have stayed at. Will definitely go back." (97256817)

    "Having stayed at a number of Old English Inns we have always found them to be excellent value for money. The accommodation is always clean and comfortable, many of the inns being in old character buildings full of charm and history. The staff are helpful and polite and the food is to a high standard. The Dog House was no exception to this rule." (99462164)

    It was a lovely old hotel set in a quiet and peaceful country location. The room had loads of character and was very clean and comfortable. The staff were helpful and attentive and the food was very good. It was just what we were looking for.

    The fact that it was a pub! The staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough for you.

    The room was above the kitchen and the extractor fans - whilst they were not a major problem, were annoying at times (e.g. when they were first switched on in the morning, they would wake you up.)

    "A satisfactory stay but we, and other guests, did feel that it was overpriced for what it was. Far too few staff waiting on at breakfast such that we had a long wait for our cooked breakfast. The breakfast staff were pleasant enough but clearly frustrated that they had a full hotel and couldn't keep up with demand." (99409522)

    It was very close to our friends' home. Good sized room. Nice quiet location.

    Service at breakfast very slow, toast never did arrive. Peeling wallpaper on the bedroom ceiling, 15 inch or so tear in the duvet cover. Overpriced.
