Abbey Guest House

Abingdon, Oxfordshire, England

"We are a quiet, comfortable guest house offering five bedrooms, all en-suite. We offer a free-to-use Internet PC, WiFi throughout, & all rooms have digital Freeview DVD/TV. Ideal for visiting Oxford."

Things You'll Love

After a good night's sleep in one of our comfortable beds, breakfast at the Abbey is intended to be an enjoyable experience.

Fresh Farm Eggs are delivered each week from a local Free Range supplier (The Old Farm Shop, Milton Hill, Abingdon)) and milk is also farm fresh. Other produce is obtained locally whenever possible and in season.

An extensive range of options ensures that every guest can select the breakfast ingredients of their choice for an 'English Breakfast'.

Vegetarian options are always readily available.

For those guests that prefer a 'lighter' option, fruit juice, cereals, fruit and yoghurts are usually available.

Most special dietary needs can usually be accommodated if notified at the time of booking.

For supper, we are only able to offer a limited range of home cooked supper options if pre-ordered, but there are two good pubs close by (see below). There are several excellent restaurants offering a variety of cuisines in the centre of Abingdon and, of course, Oxford is also readily accessible for additional options.

Drink at the Abbey Guest House

Abbey Guest House is not licensed but is pleased to be able to provide a full range of beverages for our guests' enjoyment, including many Fair-Trade items. Coffee (full strength and de-caf), hot chocolate and a variety of teas are always available - Earl Grey, Camomile, Rooibos (red bush) and an extensive range of fruit and herbal teas.

Location

We are very conveniently located along the main road into Abingdon off the A34 but we are set well back from the road (and actually off a small service road running parallel to the main road) and behind some trees that provide a very effective sound barrier. A bus stop at the foot of our driveway provides easy and quick access directly into the centre of Oxford (just six miles away), and across the road is the bus stop to go into Abingdon itself (0.9 miles to the town centre).

Things You Need To Know

Additional Facilties
Many rooms have sufficient space that a small bed can be added to enable a child (or small adult) to be accommodated in the same room.

A travel cot is available for babies (supplied with a clean base sheet - parents are asked to provide whatever top covering is used by their baby), as well as a high chair and plastic feeding utensils.

A bed rail is available upon request, but guests are asked to bring their own 'bed side bumpers'.
