The Evenlode Hotel

Lovely place. Sunny outside areas. Great food. Welcoming friendly staff. Clean, comfortable room.

Check in - quick but limited information given apart from how to check out by leaving key in postbox on wall in hall. Food - asked if food was available in pub - was just told yes but they didn't do breakfasts on Sundays. No mention of timings or offer of menu (also website not working so unable to view menu). Room - good temperature but draught from windows - ok when curtains closed. Windows need a good scrub /repainting round frames. Spiders and webs in corners of windows (living in hole in frame where the cord for the sash windows is). Some crumbs/dust on bathroom floor. Nespresso machine dirty (dusty in water reservoir) and dirty water came out when i ran the machine with no pod in). No instructions for machine in room. Was advertised as sound proof room but could hear some noise from pub (not loud) and some sort of machine/generator/road noise (for long periods of time). Beds - (we had twin) were very comfy but would prefer they had mattress cover/protector on. Location - on main road and tricky getting into/out of hotel during busy times. Would have been useful to have been told about the back entrance which takes you through village which is very pretty. Handy for Oxford - Peartree park & ride (£5 for parking and bus for 2 people) about 10 mins in car . All in all, had a decent sleep and it was handy for visiting Oxford, Burford, Woodstock and Blenheim.

Checkin was quick and friendly, very nice lady. Room had excellent shower and heating and was very fresh, could do with secondary glazing as constant road noise from A40 hence not much sleep,

Pros- Lovely sized & decorated room with Georgian windows Lovely staff who provided thorough check in info & sorted our noise complaint (re cons below) Great sized TV with Netflix, iPlayer, normal channels etc... Comfy bed Clean sheets & towels Bottle of tap water, tea bags, milk, 2 rice crispy bars Lovely shower wash & hand soap in bathroom Cons- Toilet had been used and not flushed when we arrived Music from downstairs (or somewhere in pub) started at around 8am (on a Sunday, when pub was closed at this time until midday) waking us up. I called the pub, told the staff member & they turned it off within the next 10 mins.) Bathroom radiator, so hot was genuinely like a sauna & both burnt ourselves on it. (Tried everything to turn it off or down, including turning switch off, nothing worked. Shower head seriously grim.. green.. really had to mind over matter the process of showering & made an effort not to get water on face/in mouth. Kettle and espresso machine dirty.

Lovely stay at Evenlode. Lovely rooms, well priced.

People blatantly vaping in the bar and no staff challenge this

Evenlode Hotel looks very inviting from the outside and to be fair the bar was OK. The staff were pleasant. The menu is limited. The rooms are fine with all the things you would expect such as tea and coffee making facilities but the hot water was tepid, so didny have shower. The worst part was the breakfast. In most hotels there is cereals f,ruit, fruit juice, toast and coffee facilties together with marmalades, jams etc. None of this was present. If you offer breakfast it should include all this as a basic.

The place looked great but was rushed to check in before 10pm as staff were leaving for the evening. Bar and restaurant closed.

Excellent!! Warm welcome followed by delightful service at dinner. Delicious mushrooms and pie - and plenty of it. The room is furnished in a modern style with everything I needed, including a comfortable bed. All this followed by my favourite breakfast - eggs Benedict cooked to perfection.

Zimmer sind gut, Bad auch, ebglischer Stil halt. Direkt an der Strase, dadurch swhr laut, da die Fenster auch nur einfach sind.

Not a peaceful nights rest

See my selection above.

Restaurant for our evening meal was fantastic- as were the staff who were welcoming friendly and helpful.

used it for a business trip as working near by, I arrived about 7pm, showered - ate - slept. It looks nice from the outside, the bar / restaurant not too bad in evening. No breakfast - just a cereal bar with the tea / coffee in room. Bathroom not nice, smelly drain & mouldy shower. Window was cracked and stuck with tape. No one present in morning to check out, so good luck getting a receipt if you need one

Just what we needed after a long day out ....a clean ,comfortable room and the dinner in the bar/restaurant was excellent

The location was ideal for what we had come to the area for, the staff were very friendly and helpful and the portions of food for both lunch and dinner were far too much for the average person. On the down side, no breakfast. A chewy bar is not my ideal way to start the day and I would have much preferred a feather filled pillow

Not really clean... dissatisfied with toilet and bathroom. Bed was tiny for a double

A high £161 overnight with no breakfast. And no breakfast available either. Smallest double beds and poor linen. Shame as the pub and style is great. But value very low. . Won’t be going again

Lovely room. Very friendly & helpful staff.

Several things to report on negatively unfortunately. The room was very hot so needed the window open all night however, it faced the A40 which is a very busy road. The toilet had "marks" in it - it hadn't been cleaned properly. The pillow cases had stains on them. There was no iron in the room and no one to contact to ask for one. Amazingly, the venue wasn't able to offer breakfast - this is astonishing considering that it is a pub. This was not advertised when I booked - if I had known, I would have booked somewhere else. In the pub downstairs, I wanted to have a drink however, there were empty glasses and rubbish everywhere on every empty table. There was no effort by the staff - I had to ask about breakfast and there was no mention about food in the evening and finally, the next morning, there were no staff anywhere to be found to check out. I had to just leave the room key on the bar and unlock the door to the pub to let myself out.
