Lovely little find.
Lovely hotel which is a great base to explore the surrounding area. The owner is lovely and works very hard to make your stay comfortable. Rooms were well equipped. Just be aware trains do go past!

A great place to explore the surrounding areas
Booked the Railway Inn as I was visiting the local area and it seemed to work as a midway point, even though a bit out of the way. No real expectations but it was a great experience, particularly the welcome from the friendly host and a delicious cooked breakfast included with the room. There was some noise from the road and due to the heat and keeping the window open, made it a bit more challenging to sleep but the beds were comfy and the room was clean and well equipped. Had a minor power outage so showering with the phone light created a mini adventure! I'd like to have taken advantage of what looked like a well stocked bar and some more excellent food but sadly had to move on after just one night

Great place
This is a really quaint and rustic hotel literally by a train station. I really liked the setting, the room, the area, the ambience and everything. I had great sleep and you need to visit this place just for the lamb cutlets. Room was spotless, bed was comfy, and food was hearty and amazing. For people who love jogging/walking/biking there is a cycling/walking route alongside abingdon road with plenty of blackberries which can make for a great exercise in the morning or afternoon. As a suggestion, I do genuinely believe the food portions are massive and I would say perhaps asking guests when they check in if they going to have dinner might be helpful for guests. This was a great stay and I will look to come back.

adequate but right beside busy road AND railway
Room good size, clean. Service adequate. Parking not easy to find as roadside sign obscured by foliage. Must check-in before 22:00 which isn't very customer-friendly. Breakfast adequate but very limited choice (cereal and/or typical English fried food). Entire building shakes every time a train passes and main railway line to/from London is 50 ft away. Right beside a very busy road and so incessant traffic noise throughout the night means no sleep. Won't be staying here again and could not in good faith recommend it to anyone unless there was nowhere else available
