An old-fashioned country pub next to Culham station. Some low level train and road noise but still peaceful. Very friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable room and bed. Excellent breakfast.

A fairly standard village pub atmosphere, the staff were pleasant, food and drink were nice, the room was adequate for my overnight stay, as expected being adjacent to a main line, there is occasional noise but nothing too disturbing.
We were made very welcome. We were even taken into town to save us getting a taxi.Our room was comfortable & clean. Breakfast was excellent & very filling. The hotel was situated in a very picturesque area next to the railway. However the trains didnt keep us awake.
Very helpful and friendly staff. Excellent breakfast, for me the bed was too hard so didnt sleep and the towel a little on the small size. Overall was good
Lovely hotel which is a great base to explore the surrounding area. The owner is lovely and works very hard to make your stay comfortable. Rooms were well equipped. Just be aware trains do go past!
Little gem tucked away near culham station parking fab near abingdon and 29 mins to Oxford car or slap next to rail connections breakfasts are fab noise from trains not really bothered us but be aware if it .. pub shuts at 10 in week as quiet would if been nice to have a later drink but room clean bed really comfy

Decent value
It's the Railway so expect railway noise. Last dinner orders quite early so plan for that. Easy parking. Pillows bit hard for my stiff old neck. Dog friendly. Never ask for a omelette for breakfast - the NO is v stern!! 😂
