Doghouse Abingdon by Chef & Brewer Collection

Doghouse Abingdon by Chef and Brewer Collection. The Doghouse Hotel Abingdon, located not far from Oxford, started its life as a smallholding in the early eighteenth century. It only became an inn as recently as 1847, and earned its name as a place Oxford students would send their dogs when they were prohibited from keeping them at college, or as the kennels for local hunting parties. Today, it is a pleasant country hotel surrounded by beautiful Oxfordshire countryside. It offers a traditional bar and restaurant with original wood-beams, a roaring fire and a quiet patio, serving food and a range of drinks. This is complemented by 20 comfortable ensuite bedrooms, each one featuring a television, tea and coffee making facilities, and free WiFi. Just a few minutes away from Oxford and Abingdon, the hotel is the perfect base from which to explore this beautiful part of the country.
