The whole experience was just lovely. I called ahead to check last time for ordering dinner. Turned out I was arriving exactly at that time -8pm so I pre-ordered steak, and it was served outside in the very sweet garden area within 10 minutes of arriving. The welcome by the barman was friendly. He showed me to my room, told me everything I needed to know and served dinner too. Dinner was super tasty, hot and well-presented. The Merlot was perfect and the Pavlova to die for! What I couldn't understand was why there was no one else at the pub below or anyone eating dinner! Because I found the whole village and hotel just lovely. I had the whole little oasis to myself and it was just what I needed after a few weeks of hard work! I felt myself relaxing like butter! I had an amazing night's sleep as it was so quiet. I had to leave early so didn't have breakfast. Parking in front of the hotel was close by. I will definitely try to stay there again

The stairs to my room were a bit creaky!😬

The staff member who met us was exceptionally friendly and helpful,he told us where to park our car as there was street cleaning the next day. I was very impressed at his care and consideration for surrounding houses and neighbours in this lovely, tiny village. Breakfast was delicious and generous and we were able to watch the horses out for their constitutional whilst eating it. The dinner menu looked good, was a bit disappointed we were unable to partake due the timing of our arrival and departure but will certainly try to do so when we are next in the area.

Nothing, it was all good.

Size of room was great. Location is a very small village. Bed was very comfortable and bedding was very clean.

Bath tub has quite high sides so for an older person may be a struggle to get in and out. Power shower a bit intermittent. Folding shower screen needs a good clean. TV signal is patchy but improves if you wiggle the wires on the back.

My partner and I were walking the Thames Path and booked the Eagle Tavern as a stop over, we were not planning on having dinner but the menu looked great so we decided to eat in and we were not disappointed. The food was exceptional, the customer service was spot on, run by a small team and the Eagle Tavern is their passion. Clean rooms, comfortable beds, my only bug bear was that check in was only at 5pm after a long hard day of walking we had to taxi to a pub and wait for an hour and half before we could check in. Other than that 5 stars all round.

Late check in

The staff were very helpful and kind in waiting for us beyond the check-in time due to an unforeseen event that delayed our arrival. Since the room we had booked had suffered minor damage caused by a previous guest – damage which did not cause us any inconvenience – we were offered an excellent and generous breakfast free of charge the following morning, for which we are even more grateful.

The staff were exceptional. Friendly, professional and approachable. The food was, as many others have said, just wonderful. The dining room, although full had a pleasant buzz, while the waiting staff were very efficient. The room was spotless and the bed comfortable. The manager found us a table at short notice and was very helpful. Make sure you book a table at the same time as you book a room. It is too far to walk to other restaurants and anyway, why would you want to, given the standard of the cuisine.

The shower in our room. It was temperamental and we couldn't adjust it. Again, the manager was concerned and gave a reasonable explanation. You rarely get that attention to detail.

Friendly welcome, early check-in, clean and tidy room, fantastic evening menu and a wonderful, fresh cooked hot breakfast. Great value for money.

In the morning, the water pressure for the shower was too low to have a hot shower but I understand this is a problem throughout the village due to morning demand.

It is located a gorgeous little village and very quaint inside - it was beautiful and service was fantastic. Communicated with me when having problems with travelling and nothing was a bother. Would come here again. Food was very tasty!

The Eagle is in the middle of the tiny village of Little Coxwell. It's some way away from the A420 so it's quiet and peaceful. My room was clean, tidy and comfortable but the decor could have been a little more modern. Dinner was a delight. A small menu with everything freshly prepared with skill. Breakfast was just as good, I just wish I could have more time to take full advantage. The sourdough toast was a deliciously pleasant change to the usual.

A more comprehensive wine list would be a benefit.

Lovely rooms and friendly staff. The restaurant was excellent.

I appreciated the restaurant making something for me off-menu that was vegan, but as a bit of constructive feedback, I’d suggest that in 2023 they should probably have a vegan option on the menu, or at a minimum when a customer enquiries whether there are vegan options, don’t start by saying ‘no’, which is what happened. A more customer service-centred approach would be to say ‘of course, let me see what the chef can do’. But overall we had a lovely stay.
