The Volunteer Inn arvostelua

I had a great stay, I only stayed one night. The manager was friendly and helpful. There were some local regulars in the bar area, where I was made to feel welcome. A great mix, even had a game of pool with them. Freshly decorated. Great value for money and I would stay again.

Roadside accommodation There was a warm welcome when we arrived and we were given plenty of local details. Originally booked the property as it had a restaurant. Unfortunately, it did not provide any food on Sundays or Monday’s; the two days we were there. This aside, the room was clean if a little tired. There was tea and coffee in the room but no spoons! The other issue was the noise from the road outside. Our room was roadside, and although ear plugs were provided along with the tea and coffee, the constant hum from 6:00 am was irritating with just single glaze windows. Because of this, I probably wouldn’t stay again.

Recommend Good affordable room and great staff

Only stayed one night for a family funeral ! Very rural on a very busy road, double glazing a god send , staff helpful and pleasant

Noisiest place I’ve ever stayed in, not sure what the noise was but it was loud and constant all night. Seriously needs to be addressed

great location if visiting the Williams F1 centre, polite staff, building is tired but that did not ruin my stay

Checked in on a Monday around 5pm and shown to the room. Noticed that all the tables were setup for food with cutlery etc. Went down to the bar around 6:30 to be told that the restaurant was closed and only food available was coffee and cake. Ended up fetching a take away and eating that in the bar. On the plus side cider was only £3 a pint!! No mattress protectors on the bed.

Friendly pub stay Just the one night in this friendly pub, they serve a very good breakfast

The Volunteer Nice friendly check in. Only 1 x large and small towel for 2 people. No shower soap at all. In a pub so nobody on site but contact numbers on door if anyone is needed. I think overpriced for this property.

The place itself isn't bad. No dining on the night I stayed but they were more than happy to allow me to order food in. Bar was nice and well priced.

Left after just 1 hour I booked a 'deluxe room' it was tiny and shoddy. There was damage to the plasterwork, a rusty radiator with the paint peeling and the shower/toilet was tiny. I decided to check out within an hour even though it meant I lost my money as it was non-refundable.

Pleasant stay but tired room A friendly welcome was provided at this Oxfordshire pub, I was checked in and shown up a back staircase to my room. The pub itself is small with a beer garden at the side. It’s very close to a main road and also a main line railway. The room (room 4) was a reasonable size, containing a double bed, a desk and a wardrobe with iron etc. Tea and coffee was provided. The bathroom was small and housed a toilet, sink and shower. The condition of the room was quite tired, the carpet had seen better days and the walls needed painting. The bed itself was very comfortable although there was no beside table, which would’ve been a cheap and convenient improvement. The noise from the road continued in to the early hours and meant you couldn’t leave the window open, the trains were less intrusive, although very audible from the room. Parking was ok, 3 spaces at the front of the hotel with maybe another 10 shared with the neighbouring car wash business.

Don’t volunteer to stay here Having phoned to check latest check in time we arrived at 2045, having been told latest was 2100, no problem we thought, then we were told that we’d have to wait, no reason given, so we waited and we’re taken to the room that smelt of musk and damp, there were holes in the walls and damp on the walls, the bed creaked, bathroom was clean , and the carpet was damp, no actually sodden, I raised these points in the morning and apparently the roof had leaked, it was an old building etcetera etcetera, none of this information was passed to us, we were pushed for time as we were attending a funeral so I left my number and asked them to call after 1400, they said they would and of course didn’t, Young inattentive staff more interested in playing darts

I stayed here for two nights this week on business, its the first time i have been to the pub ever. I have just booked in again for next week. A really friendly little pub, cracking food, and charming staff. A big thank to Cathy & Blake for their great hospitality. i thoroughly recommend a stay here. Peter
