Lovely big room for the 3 of us, comfy beds, very hot due to weather and on main road with noisy trafiic but they had put a fan in the room for us. Couple of spiders in bathroom window and could do with a hook on bathroom door to hang towels/clothes, but apart from that would visit n stay again

A clean and comfortable place to stay for the night. Rather late check-in, and early check-out, to accommodate the owners, who do not live on the premises. Breakfast was not included but we were given a good recommendation. Staff friendly and helpful and a very reasonable price.

Superb "Inn Style" accommodation. Above a local pub so access to food really easy. Cosy well kept room with fridge, very comfy bed and clean bathroom. Really close to the main town, shops, places to eat.

One of Wallingford’s finest b&b’s

Very warm and friendly welcome from Lynne and her dog Beau. Very friendly locals and an obviously very popular pub with good food and drink.

The hotel was good and excellent value. However, with limited mobility I found the stairs almost impossible as was an area of the courtyard.

Comfortable stay

This was our second stay here and it is comfortable and Luke was very accommodating and we left our luggage a bit earlier than check in time which was a big help. Our breakfast was a hamper with granola, croissant and fresh orange juice. There was a small fridge and tea and coffee.

picked the smallest room which was just big enough, but had a great view of the small rose garden. good location but no onsite parking, staff was wonderful. Breakfast cost 12 pounds but was worth it.

Very quiet, clean, and comfortable room. Slept well after a long walk. Steep stairs, which I’m perfectly fine with, but to be aware of if it’s a challenge for you! Convenient for a wide choice of places to eat in Wallingford

Very quaint. Very lovely town. We enjoyed walking around the town. The patio looked wonderful, but it was too chilly and rainy to sit out there.

Seemed a bit busy/disorganised during the booking and payment process so I was a little worried but it seemed this was due to a change of management and all was fine. If fact, they were very helpful in amending our booking and carrying luggage etc. The room was quaint and quirky, quite quiet and comfortable.

Best room in UK!

Location is great!! Easy 5 minute walk to everything. Room was one of the absolute best we’ve had in UK. Luke was a staff member and was superb! If I could hire someone like that for my business I’d do it in a heartbeat. Breakfast was continental but was so good & way past continental. We were Thames Pathway hikers & greatly recommend this lodging!

Very nice and cozy bedroom at the top floor of the building. everything was clean and cozy! Surrounding area does not allow you to park. Check out: no instruction on where to leave the keys... Overall, I would very recommend it!

Convenient location; Small but comfortable

This pub accommodation was in the perfect location for our visit to Oxford and family. The parking is several blocks away but with easy access. There are a lot of narrow steps to get to the room. The beds were comfortable. Unfortunately, there is no air conditioning, but the windows open and that helps. It is above the street and pub so can get noisy and there are bright lights outside the room. We would stay there again.

I stayed three nights and each night woke uo 3-4am because of the cold. No heating and i needed all clothes to go through the night. Very unpleasant and not providing the rest I needed during my business trip. Not sure if i use the app wrong, but mo ody reacted to my message asking for longer heating. The room was spacious and clean.
