The meal and service was great. Been coming here for years. It's a shame it's starting to slip. Decor is very dated and unwelcoming. The menu has shrunk over the years and prices do not reflect this. Food is still great but the place needs updating. Big shame as this was my favourite restaurant.

I have stayed regularly at this a hotel over the past few weeks while working in Abingdon. It is a very good location, just 10 minutes drive to Abingdon, 20 minutes to Oxford and located a short drive from Wantage. The rooms are of an excellent standard, with very comfortable beds and pillows and decent digital TV. They also have... More

I found myself here in December 2012 as a result of a late change of plans for work. I would normally stay in the Four Pillars Abingdon. I have reviewed that location twice before. La Fontana is a restaurant with very nice rooms rather than a hotel with a restaurant. However, reception was efficient and the room I was given... More

Been here for an evening meal many times and its always been excellent. Staff are friendly, efficient and professional. Food is top notch, quality ingredients beautifully cooked. While its a little on the pricy side compared to the areas other restaurants the extra is worth it.

On a busy road, the room I stayed in was dated and the bathroom was not clean. The restaurant was OK, but the food was pricey. I only stayed 2 nights, I wouldn't want to stay any longer. The breakfast was OK, but nothing special.

We booked a dinner to celebrate a friend's birthday and as soon as we entered I knew I had made a mistake. The decor is very dated and we had to wait ages to get our table. Once we were finally seated, we then had to wait another 20 mins to place our drinks order. When we raised an issue... More

I booked this accomodation for a 2 night stay in the area for work as it often comes up on search lists. I arrived relatively late at night and went straight to my room - an upstairs room in the annexe in the car park. The problems i encountered during my stay were: 1. the stairs into the room were...

This is a great old fashioned romantic restaurant for special occasions. The ambience was just right and it was nice to be seated in a lounge area with a pre dinner drink while your table is prepared. There was absolutely no rush in this place so you felt you had the table for the entire night without any pressure, the... More

This restaurant with rooms tries hard but fails on many fronts. The room (#7) looked nice on the surface with a good quality bed and large en-suite bathroom (with huge shower cubicle) but there were endless little things that let it down. The bathroom door didn't shut, the main room door frame had been messily replaced (after they apparently had... More
