The bedrooms are a two block building which is separate from the country inn. They are located behind the Inn. We found the room and bathroom to be clean. The bed was comfortable.There was instant hot water when needed.The food was very good. The staff were helpful and friendly.

Nice hotel just outside Oxford City.
The stay was good, with a nice hotel feel and plenty of seating for lunch, Dinner etc. Good choice of drink and the food was good in the evening. Room 1 was damp smelling which might be due to the window vents being shut and the bathroom fan was off. Opened the vents and turned the fan on for the next guest. Discussed this on check out.

A clean and tidy, average motel. I would hesitate to call it a hotel as the accommodation is a two story out building behind the pub. Didn't know it was "bike night" so quite a bit of noise. Overall, would I go again? Yes. Would I go for a special occasion? No.

This is a lovely venue the staff were friendly and very helpful. The rooms are a bit dated but overall we’re ok. It was a clean room the one thing that I felt let it down was the pillows they were not great. The location of the hotel is good and we had dinner in the pub in the evening which was amazing. Overall a great little hotel
