Highly recommended
Had a nice stay at The Evenlode. Enjoyed the food. The room had everything we needed. Power sockets in good places, always important. Check in was easy, as was check out. Staff were friendly. A little concerned that the shower seemed to have two bottle of hand wash rather than shampoo and body wash. Overall a good stay.
Lovely stay at Evenlode. Lovely rooms, well priced.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The bed was comfortable. No fridge and the table nearly collapsed when I went to lean on it to write a card. The room was very hot and we could not open the window due to the noise from the road.
Nice clean room.the reason for the average score is there is no breakfast and the food on a sunday stops at 6pm.we arrived just after six with no food available anywere near the property.Fair enough if they do this every sunday but tell the customers on the website before they book. on the monday evening food was available and was very nice. all in all a nice pub and hotel .
Checkin was quick and friendly, very nice lady. Room had excellent shower and heating and was very fresh, could do with secondary glazing as constant road noise from A40 hence not much sleep,
The place looked great but was rushed to check in before 10pm as staff were leaving for the evening. Bar and restaurant closed.

Definitely recommended
Excellent!! Warm welcome followed by delightful service at dinner. Delicious mushrooms and pie - and plenty of it.
The room is furnished in a modern style with everything I needed, including a comfortable bed. All this followed by my favourite breakfast - eggs Benedict cooked to perfection.
Stayed while helping a family member move to Eynsham.
All staff were very welcoming and friendly.

Property was conveniently located for our needs. Continuous flow of traffic made it difficult to sleep as it was just off the main road. Bed was comfortable and clean. However, carpets were in need of cleaning both in the room and public areas. Also the dining chairs were covered in grease stains. Disappointed that no breakfast was available whatsoever and did not know that beforehand. Would not have booked here had we known that. Evening meal was very tasty though.
The location was ideal for what we had come to the area for, the staff were very friendly and helpful and the portions of food for both lunch and dinner were far too much for the average person.
On the down side, no breakfast. A chewy bar is not my ideal way to start the day and I would have much preferred a feather filled pillow

Blenheim visit
Evenlode Hotel looks very inviting from the outside and to be fair the bar was OK. The staff were pleasant. The menu is limited.
The rooms are fine with all the things you would expect such as tea and coffee making facilities but the hot water was tepid, so didny have shower.
The worst part was the breakfast. In most hotels there is cereals f,ruit, fruit juice, toast and coffee facilties together with marmalades, jams etc. None of this was present. If you offer breakfast it should include all this as a basic.
used it for a business trip as working near by, I arrived about 7pm, showered - ate - slept. It looks nice from the outside, the bar / restaurant not too bad in evening. No breakfast - just a cereal bar with the tea / coffee in room. Bathroom not nice, smelly drain & mouldy shower. Window was cracked and stuck with tape. No one present in morning to check out, so good luck getting a receipt if you need one

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness
Pros-
Lovely sized & decorated room with Georgian windows
Lovely staff who provided thorough check in info & sorted our noise complaint (re cons below)
Great sized TV with Netflix, iPlayer, normal channels etc...
Comfy bed
Clean sheets & towels
Bottle of tap water, tea bags, milk, 2 rice crispy bars
Lovely shower wash & hand soap in bathroom
Cons-
Toilet had been used and not flushed when we arrived
Music from downstairs (or somewhere in pub) started at around 8am (on a Sunday, when pub was closed at this time until midday) waking us up. I called the pub, told the staff member & they turned it off within the next 10 mins.)
Bathroom radiator, so hot was genuinely like a sauna & both burnt ourselves on it. (Tried everything to turn it off or down, including turning switch off, nothing worked.
Shower head seriously grim.. green.. really had to mind over matter the process of showering & made an effort not to get water on face/in mouth.
Kettle and espresso machine dirty.

Some tweaks would increase star rating
Check in - quick but limited information given apart from how to check out by leaving key in postbox on wall in hall.
Food - asked if food was available in pub - was just told yes but they didn't do breakfasts on Sundays. No mention of timings or offer of menu (also website not working so unable to view menu).
Room - good temperature but draught from windows - ok when curtains closed. Windows need a good scrub /repainting round frames. Spiders and webs in corners of windows (living in hole in frame where the cord for the sash windows is). Some crumbs/dust on bathroom floor. Nespresso machine dirty (dusty in water reservoir) and dirty water came out when i ran the machine with no pod in). No instructions for machine in room. Was advertised as sound proof room but could hear some noise from pub (not loud) and some sort of machine/generator/road noise (for long periods of time).
Beds - (we had twin) were very comfy but would prefer they had mattress cover/protector on.
Location - on main road and tricky getting into/out of hotel during busy times. Would have been useful to have been told about the back entrance which takes you through village which is very pretty. Handy for Oxford - Peartree park & ride (£5 for parking and bus for 2 people) about 10 mins in car .
All in all, had a decent sleep and it was handy for visiting Oxford, Burford, Woodstock and Blenheim.
