With a peaceful, rural location, just 20 minutes from the historic university city of Oxford and just 10 minutes from Abingdon, the hotel is rich in original character and dates to the 19th Century. Located in the heart of the Oxfordshire countryside, the Dog House Hotel has a traditional bar, with an original wood-beamed ceiling, a roaring fire and a patio. Food is available in the bar and in the restaurant and conservatory. The name of the hotel has an unusual origin. Traditionally, the University of Oxford allowed their students to stable horses, but not the dogs. With nowhere else to house the animals, the proprietor of the local inn offered an invaluable dog-sitting service and the venue became known as the Dog House. Today, there are 20 comfortable rooms with attached bathroom, including 2 feature rooms. Each room has a TV and tea/coffee making facilities.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.5 for a two-person trip.

    We had a wonderful meal when we arrived, not too long to wait. Enjoyed the room. We could sit inside or out at the dinning and drinking areas. Very close to beauty spots and Oxford.
