Meet by a very friendly barman and we were warned that their oven wasn't working, so they could not serve breakfast or dinner but we were offered extra tea and coffee for our room. The gentleman said that he had tried to get in touch with us but we didn't get the message. It wasn't a big problem and couldn't be helped. We stayed in room 2 at the front of the building and it does get a lot of noise from the traffic, so take some earplugs. Our room looked recently decorated and was very clean. The green fire exist light in the bedroom is crazy bright and we had to throw a towel over it. We had to leave early the next day and were out all day and were very disappointed that our room had not been cleaned. If it had have been cleaned then the staff would have noticed that we had only been left one set of towels and had no milk left. We had advised the (different) barman about the room, and he was very apologetic - we could not say much as it definitely was not his fault. I was expecting to see someone on the premises before we left at 8.30am the next morning but there was no one around. I sent two emails to the Volunteer Inn to ask for an explanation as to why our room had not be cleaned but have not received a reply. We are not picky people but a combination of the problems- no food, no cleaner, short of towels, no milk - for the cost of the room and no one bothered to reply to my email, I feel is a bit rude. Shame really as the two staff we met were lovely - let down by their management I guess. It would be interesting to know the staff turnover. Also, take your own shampoo.

If basic services are not available, the cost of the room is far too high

Nice room

N/A

The room was clean.

Only one pillow provided. Fire escape light very bright in the room. Breakfast not served until 9am. So had to skip due to other commitments in the morning.

Close to location, staff were great

The bed reminded me of the uni days. I thought someone else was in the bed but it was the springs, upgrade the mattress. Also thought I was being abducted in the night, but it turns out it was the bright illuminating green fire escape light.

Rooms clean , bed comfy . Staff very friendly

Breakfast was available and it was very close to the middle of Wantage where dinner was available. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. It was very close to everything I wanted to see.

The stairs were narrow and steep but that cannot be helped.

Loved the owners! I felt like I met some new friends. I was made to feel so welcome and we had some great conversations. This was my favorite of the other two places in which I had stayed. Thank you so much for such a wonderful stay! I felt sad when I left because you were so wonderful to me!
