Brilliant, lovely stay, friendly staff and owner

Why stay in a bland hotel chain when you can stay here where there are really friendly people, the food is good and the room clean and comfortable?

Really nice old school pub/Inn right next to the railway station with a long long history, not a poncey gastro pub, a proper old school pub. Really nice staff and really good prices, food was great, locals that I met were all very nice, room was cracking. Quite a few trains go past as you would imagine, but I didn’t find them an issue and slept fine with the window open, they get fewer and fewer the later it gets. I will definitely be booking this one again. This would suit anyone travelling for work, anyone wanting to discover some UK history, train buffs or spontaneous explorers.

Nice comfy bed and a decent size room. Could do with a fridge though. Breakfast was delicious, but they had no vegan options. I may stay here again, but only if the price drops. It’s too expensive for what’s on offer. I’d really like to see a fridge in the room. It makes all the difference.

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.

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!! 😂

Ok room- but mattress was not that comfortable. Breakfast was ok . Bathroom could do with a deep clean. Position is fab next to an old railway station . Rooms get rather noisy as the banging of some general entrance doors can be heard everywhere. Walls seem to be thin - could hear TV from next room .
