Perfect location in Abingdon and just minutes walk to buses to Oxford if that's your interest. Took about 25-30 minutes to get into downtown Oxford on the 2 or 3 buses...very easy. The inn had a recent renovation and while it is clearly a very old property it was very charming, clean, and nicely decorated. Food was good and free breakfast had good offerings. We were there during the World Cup and they opened a separate bar/event space to fit both locals and guests in to watch the games which was very convenient and fun! Esti seems to work around the clock - checking in guests, waitressing, etc. - and always with a smile on her face and warm greeting. They are lucky to have her! Word of warning: Don't wear heels...the outdoor area is all very old, uneven cobblestone. This adds to the charm but flats/sneakers are a must. Two minute walk to the bridge over the Thames was wonderful and unexpected. We had a lovely walk all along the river before dinner one night. There is Tourist Info office just a block from the hotel and the woman who helped us navigate the bus system was really helpful. Would definitely stay at The Crown & Thistle again...must be very cozy there in wintertime. Lastly, no elevators and heavy fire doors on each floor for those who have mobility issues. New showers are very high off the floor so we took caution getting in and out of the shower. Beautiful footed bathtub but we didn't have time to use it.

This is a lovely hotel full of character and in a fantastic location right in the centre of town. Comfortable and clean with some lovely touches in the rooms like dressing gowns, coffee machines and complimentary toiletries etc...
A separate restaurant and bar which served a good selection of drinks and we didn't have a evening meal but the breakfast was outstanding.
The best thing going for this hotel was the staff who were outstanding with their help and service. A particular mention goes to a young woman called Esti who couldn't do enough for us and nothing was too much trouble for her and her welcoming smile was a constant feature. Well done to everyone working there. I would definitely recommend a visit.

The room was clean and a good size but the carpet needed renewing as it was in bad condition.The bed linen and towels were excellent and the twin beds were comfortable. Our room and our friends room were \"shabby\".Paint work etc. I complained about the fact that the bath water went cold before I had run very much.There was no soap to use in the bath.Only soap available was fixed to the shower wall and by the washbasin.
I was woken up at 5.35am on the morning we were leaving with a text message from the hotel giving a link for the bill to be paid. Following my complaints I was given a small refund. The hotel needs money spending on it to bring it up to a good standard. Our dinner on Thursday night was good - no complaints about the food and the staff were all lovely and couldn't have been more helpful.
Sadly Abbingdon was disappointing as there were quite a few closed shops and the remaining ones were not selling \"quality\" goods. Too many coffee shops !

Room was nice, bed sheets and towels were clean, nice to have both a coffee machine and a kettle and branded toiletries as well as travel kits (shower cap, toothbrush etc…). However I had a street facing room and the windows were so thin that the bed was literally shaking when trucks were on the road. Despite earplugs, I couldn’t fall asleep: the bed shaking would wake me up in fear someone entered the room while I was asleep. The aircon/heating was also quite loud. I didn’t try the breakfast since I had to leave before they started serving it (7am weekdays).

Nice little hotel stay with all amenities

The dinner in the restaurant was outstanding, so I had high hopes for the breakfast which was a bit of a let down.

The hotel itself is comfortable but could do with a lick of paint, the bedroom smelt a little damp but it was cute.

I'd visit again if I was in the area still.

Only downside of coming in winter or during bad weather is the restaurant and hotel are not all in one building. They are only a few steps apart but enough to get wet. Also not great for elderly due to cobbles floor outside area. But that’s all part of the character of the building.

Great if you like historical inns.

Very pleasant stay with helpful and friendly staff. The hotel is as close as you can get to the centre of Abingdon and from that point of view a great place to stay. It also has a great restaurant with great food and friendly staff.
Unfortunately being a very old building, it is not disabled friendly, all the rooms are on the first and second floors, not lift, and very narrow stairs. Also we found the light switches in our room very confusing and we had to have our cardkeys reprogrammed a number of times.

Pretty place, nice food, but sadly V uncomfortable

The building and room was very pretty! The bed was comfortable and the pub food and drink was great too.

But.. the room was freezing (the tiny heater provided didn't warm the space) so I slept terribly, the outside noise was loud, I could hear people even just talking in the next room, the hot water was non existent for the sink and the shower was either scalding or ice cold. Also the bottom of the bath was weirdly warped and very uncomfortable to stand on.

Lastly there was not enough privacy in the bathroom. The giant window was only half frosted, and still mostly clear. The window looked out onto the main road and directly into the windows opposite. There was no blind, only a voile curtain that again offered no privacy. I felt incredibly uncomfortable in there.

I was there one night for business. Maybe there was an issue with the heating and water whilst I was there. Without this i might not have noticed the other issues so much, but sadly I was just cold and exhausted when I left.

The hotel gave me a room with a gorgeous roll top bath as I had requested, so I was very grateful to enjoy a luxurious soak. I also was very happy with the breakfast; you can order anything off their menu, however it was inconvenient that breakfast wasn't served until 8am because I had a to be at a seminar in the centre of Oxford by 9am and I ended up arriving there late.

I also could not find the car park so had to pay for the long stay.
