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.
Situated 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 en suite rooms, including 2 feature rooms. Each room has a TV and tea/coffee making facilities.

Also a comfy bed.nice, friendlly staff, food good, room very comfortable. Good service from staff and the cosyness of the bar. The price. No internet, adress not very preciss.Is starting to get to the point where redecoration of the rooms would be an improvement. Food quality let the place down compared to its peers. Would be improved by use of good local meat, ground pepper on the tables and butter not margarine at breakfast.Didn't affect our stay or the comfort of the hotel, but the bedrooms could be modernised - dado rail, nasty wallpaper etc!. Towels were a bit hard.Would be perfect if the breakfast hours were more extended- 8.00-9.30 is abit short for a Bank Holiday. Location is in the country you def need a car (we did). Window in bedroom did not close and so noise from road not stopped.trucks delivering under my room early in the morning. Rooms a bit tired. The window catches were broken. bathroom could be upgraded a bit. I liked the open fires but the smell of smoke was overpowering. I was unable to set the alarm clock so tried contacting reception for an early morning call but there was no answer. The man who was on reception when we were checking out was very rude. It ruined our whole stay.
