The property was set in a beautiful location. The grounds were idyllic and the Thames running at the bottom of the gardens with narrow boats sailing along was lovely. Staff were so helpful and professional. The double deluxe room was clean and nice and the tea & coffee station was well stocked. The room was cleaned on a daily basis

The breakfast choice was good, if you asked for toast they made it fresh for you. The staff were very helpful. The negative was the hot breakfast items were not hot at all, only lukewarm which I didn’t like. The sausages were not appetising as the skin was like rubber. I am definitely not a complainer but all of our family did agree that the hot breakfast could have been better.

Abingdon is never going to be cheap so we thought The Cosener's represented really good value for money. The setting is stunning with lawns leading down to the river, tucked out the way in a quiet cul-de-sac but only 250 metres walk from the bustling town centre. Staff excellent. Really good breakfast spread with eggs cooked fresh to order and the nicest staff imaginable who went the extra mile to make the whole stay perfect. Room was spotless with high quality bathroom, comfy bed and good brands on the tea/coffee making tray. Cosy bar with sensible prices and lovely patio looking out over the gardens to the river

A place as grand as this for the same price as a premier inn! Whats not to like?

The hotel was absolutely lovely. The staff were lovely to the lady on reception when we got there after a very long drive was lovely. The setting was absolutely amazing to the nice weather helped a lot, The lady on reception also gave us some good recommendations to have a drink and food In the town 😀

The room was very basic and yes didn't pay a lot. There was a kettle in the room but had to put it on the floor to boil it as no plug socket near it a bit inconvenient really. The bed was very tight to the bathroom door. Also had to ask for decaf tea at breakfast and was brought 1 tea bag out of the kitchen. Also my husband had the bacon which was very hard 😕

Friendly, obliging and helpful staff. Plentiful breakfasts and tasty dinners. Fresh flowers about the place. Clean rooms with apparently recently upgraded en suites and non-slip shower mats provided; that was good. Extensive and well kept grounds beside the river. EV charge points nearby.

There was no provision for hanging towels in the bathrooms; nowhere for them to dry. There were no two-pin shaver sockets to be found. There might have been more choices on the dinner menu.

Noticeable was a recent upgrade in staff quality, in keeping with house and garden work. Both check-in and catering standard and style was significantly better than recent stays. This is a return to the quality of civilised service that should exemplify the little old Britain that many visitors are in search of - imaginary though it may be. They come for the good bits - and the history. Pre- and post-reformation is a big part of the story. The Abbey precincts take you right there. Breakfast was great; the motorway standard was gone, toast perfect, and the poached eggs met my Gordon R. criteria (keep the chef). Throw in the gardens, the river, the Wells Cathedral virtual Abbey - this should be a goldmine.

For the money and location nothing.

The Cosener’s House exceeded our expectations. Staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. Our room appeared to have been recently refurbished. Lots of choice at breakfast and good fresh food. Reasonably priced evening menu too. The surroundings were beautiful with a large garden with seating at the rear leading down to the river-or maybe it was a canal. Either way it was beautiful. Excellent value for money all round. We would definitely recommend.

Nothing

The breakfast was great; the location overlooking the river was fabulous, together with the proximity to central Abingdon very handy. All the staff without exception were friendly, efficient and professional. They even turned the heating up for us as it was such a cold night.

Our room in the courtyard was rather small for 2 people but would be fine in the summer as guests have use of their own outdoor table and seats and the grounds are amazing. The bedding was wonderful and everything in the room was pristine.

I stayed here because I had tickets for the Unicorn Theatre and wanted something close by that was easily reachable with busses from Oxford (and Heathrow). I loved the park environment. I stayed in a separate building that seemed to have been a stable once upon a time. Wonderful small room, very quiet, working heating, TV, and wifi. On my way to breakfast over the little bridge I was greeted by a squirrel and could also watch squirrels and birds from the window in the breakfast room.

We were in the modern section of the Cosener's House separate to the old main building and it was absolutely fine. Our room was light, clean, the decoration was in very good order, the en-suite was good too. Having read reviews about the restaurant we decided to give it a miss mainly because there are plenty of eating options in town with good menus and better reviews. That said the breakfast was superb as per the reviews, the best we had on a 6 day walking trip staying somewhere different every night. The ladies covering the service 18th July need a shout out (sorry I did not get your names) for making us feel welcome, valued, and not just another face passing through - Manager take note!

The building is a very old historical building which is in the process of being upgraded but we did not hear any of the workmen during our stay. Our room had been upgraded and was modern and light with a view of the river. Breakfast was excellent with a range of both Continental of Full English breakfast. Location was on the bank of the River Thames with large gardens which made it suitable as a wedding venue.

The hotel was part of a Trust which was run by the government and this made getting access to their local wifi difficult.
