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.

This was a good place to stay - close to Oxford, the Cotswold and Blenhiem Palace. A lot of parking and a good pub and restaurant. Only negative is that it is on A40 so if your room faces the road it could be a bit noisy in the mornings.

The Evenlode is a lovely pub with rooms. I stayed for 2 nights while visiting a friend in Oxford and found the room to be clean and decor a high standard. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I ate once at the restaurant and it was good food with good range of choice. I was offered help with best route to my destinations and on my return late Friday evening I was greeted to check all was ok. Highly recommend and hope to stay again some time Thank you for such a lovely stay

Make sure you’re aware, Breakfast isn’t served.

Breakfast isn’t available. For the price paid that’s a big issue. Quiet once the traffic dies down. Lovely building and good beers.

Blenheim visit

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.

Disappointed

Woke up to no hot water and nobody in the hotel to help. Couldn’t find a phone number to call for assistance. The only one we could find was the the one for downstairs. The room had the window held open with an old plastic bottle and had a slight smell of what I think was the drains. Eventually left but without having a shower. Got a call later in the morning from a lady apologising, she said the manager would be in touch but I’ve not heard anything since. I’ve stopped here a few times and it’s been ok but felt a tadge abandoned on this stay.

We had a mid week stay, so the venue was quiet, does host weddings, and could be noisier at the weekends, Note - Does not currently do breakfast at all. I wasnt sure either way when booking, but there is an awesome venue 300 yards away which was handy

Nice pub and rooms

Had a nice stay at The Evenlode. Enjoyed the food. The room had everything we needed. Power sockets in good places, always important. Check in was easy, as was check out. Staff were friendly. A little concerned that the shower seemed to have two bottle of hand wash rather than shampoo and body wash. Overall a good stay.

Nice clean room.the reason for the average score is there is no breakfast and the food on a sunday stops at 6pm.we arrived just after six with no food available anywere near the property.Fair enough if they do this every sunday but tell the customers on the website before they book. on the monday evening food was available and was very nice. all in all a nice pub and hotel .

Property was conveniently located for our needs. Continuous flow of traffic made it difficult to sleep as it was just off the main road. Bed was comfortable and clean. However, carpets were in need of cleaning both in the room and public areas. Also the dining chairs were covered in grease stains. Disappointed that no breakfast was available whatsoever and did not know that beforehand. Would not have booked here had we known that. Evening meal was very tasty though.

Some tweaks would increase star rating

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.

Sham about road noise

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.
