The Evenlode Hotel

Affordable good location for Blenheim...

Liked: Quite location apart from main road to the front. Attended an event at Blenheim Palace just a 15 min drive away. Do not rely on Uber/Taxi.
Disliked: Wish our room had a large double bed not just a standard one.

Exit is on to the...

Liked: Rooms are very well appointed and have everything you need
Disliked: Nothing

Quiet and peaceful

Liked: The hotel was a very nice Cotswold stone building. Room very comfortable and they had provided a room fan on what was a very hot weekend. Staff were friendly.
Disliked: The meal we had in the restaurant was not up to scratch, some of my food was burnt and it wasn’t good value for money.

Good

Liked: It was close to the venue we were attending in the evening
Disliked: The room was ok, the window didn’t open because it was broken, it was 30 degrees. The shower dripped all night, I’ve had bigger wardrobes than the toilet/ shower room in this hotel and I don’t think it warrants the room price of £295 per night. The staff were very cheerful and helpful, no problems there. It’s just way overpriced for what it is.

Superb

Comfy, friendly, ideally situated but...

Liked: Easy to find. Close to Blenheim where we were going for a concert. Very friendly staff. The room was good; very comfy bed, lovely tea/coffee making facilities, clean.
Disliked: Whilst the room was good, etc, it could do with a little TLC-Unfinished decorating - there were literally parts of the walls that just hadn't been finished!-No fan (understand no AC because this is England!). Mid heat-wave....I am SO glad we thought to bring our own.-Broken shower - overhead shower great, but the knob to change to hand held shower head just span round and round so couldn't just wash hair-Loo roll holder broken-The windows only open about 15cm, and I understand why but one of them doesn't stay open, you have to prop it.

Exceptional

Very good

Lovely accommodation but I wouldn’t...

Liked: The pub was lovely and the staff very pleasant. The rooms were outstanding!!…Super impressed.
Disliked: We had dinner there. The menu looked fabulous however there were a number of issues. There was new staff member who got the order a bit wrong - that was fine and we totally understood. However, we ordered entrees and mains for the 3 of us and EVERYTHING came out at the same time. I would have thought that even the kitchen staff would have questioned that. All of that aside, when we did have our meal it was a big disappointment..not good at all. The sad part is that the food was no reflection on the pub and the front of house staff. Sorry, but they need to get a better chef/cook.
