The Cosener’s House

The Cosener’s House has a Thames-side setting in the grounds of Abingdon Abbey, giving the stay a quieter riverside base in central Abingdon.

The Cosener’s House is a hotel at 15-16 Abbey Close in Abingdon, about eight miles from Oxford. The older central part of the building dates from the mid-eighteenth century, so the stay has the feel of a historic house rather than a modern roadside hotel.

Rooms vary by part of the building. Main House double rooms are upstairs in the main house and have a king-size bed, a desk, hanging wardrobe, tea and coffee facilities, soaps and shower gels, and free Wi-Fi. Single rooms are also upstairs in the main house and have a rustic character, with a desk, hanging wardrobe, tea and coffee facilities, soaps and shower gels, and free Wi-Fi.

The stay works well for travelers who want meals and outside space on site. The Abbey Restaurant and Bar are in the building, and the restaurant and conservatory overlook private gardens and the River Thames. Bed and breakfast is offered, and the dining room looks toward the gardens and the river.

The Cosener’s House also has meeting rooms and catering facilities, so it is set up for overnight stays connected with conferences, private functions, weddings, and events. Its private gardens sit by the River Thames and can be used as a backdrop for team-building events and lawn games.

The main practical limit is stairs for some room types: Main House double rooms and single rooms are located upstairs in the main house.
