Dog House Hotel

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. It is not possible to stay at this property for Coronavirus (COVID-19) quarantine purposes. Dogs are allowed in the bar and garden areas. Please notify the hotel if you are considering bringing a dog. The Hotel hosts weddings and functions most weekends. Please contact hotel directly to check your required dates.

From November until January the hotel host Christmas parties with a disco until midnight, however there may be further noise whilst guests vacate the restaurant.
