Lovely little hotel in a really good location.
Pros:

The location was perfect for our stay. We brought our train loving son who wanted to visit Didcot railway centre, it was only a short train ride away from where we were staying.
He loved watching all of the trains pass by our room window.
A nice basic hotel with everything you need.
The breakfast was very tasty, great start to the day.

Cons:

We didn't mind mind the noise of the train's through the night but it might not be ideal for someone wanting peace and quiet.

Cons:

Attitude of the staff in the bar because I arrived at 9:50. When I asked if it was too late for a drink I was told "no but you'd better hurry up, I want to go home"!

A good base for Oxford & Abingdon.
Pros:

Friendly,quirky,handy (very) for the railway station. Great cooked to order breakfast.

Cons:

Nothing obvious springs to mind. I know people mention the trains but 1) It's called the Railway Inn people!
& 2) They certainly didn't bother me so they can't be that bad.

Pros:

Breakfast was good value

Cons:

Landlady was rather rude and my husband felt she really couldn't be doing with any questions,especially as we checked if they could check in early.
Would not return.

A good pub based B&B in an interesting location near to lovely Thames Valley villages and the river.
Pros:

Rather quirky local pub atmosphere with a railway theme due to location. Good pub food and tick sheet for freshly cooked breakfasts. Accommodation is interesting as conversion of the building including loft spaces.

Cons:

Some of the rooms can be very hot, especially in the loft spaces, but fans are provided. Train noise goes with the immediate location to a busy line but has never kept us awake.
