Charming Hotel Inn in Oxfordshire countryside
Lovely inn in quaint Oxfordshire village. Food and service were excellent and we had a charming cosy room in the Eves of the hotel. Would highly recommend now it is owned by two brothers who clearly take great pride in delivering a wonderful experience.

Awesome.
Whoever put this place together, take a bow.
For rooms at a pub, it is amazing. The food is also awesome and staff really friendly.
I’d happily take the wife away for a weekend here.
Good job.

Very impressed and loved the location. We went to go to Lionel Richie and came back late but the manager was still on hand when we asked for a bottle of wine on our return. The room was super comfy, amazing amenities in the room! Loved it and will definitely come back Xx

We loved everything! The room was meticulously clean and spacious and very comfortable. Everything a guest could need was provided and very well thought out. The inn staff and restaurant staff were all friendly, knowledgeable and attended to our every need. We love this place and hope to return many times. And the food is to RAVE about!! Do not miss eating here. Whether it’s the breakfast or dinner it was all delicious and we stayed 8 nights and had breakfast and dinner here many many times. The pub is very warm and inviting and cozy and spacious! Our favorite place ever!

The bedroom wasn't very big but the bathroom was with a big walk in shower.
The heating was left on in our bedroom all afternoon and all evening. We only found out when we came back from eating outside and the room was absolutely boiling. You couldn't leave your hand on the radiator, it was so hot. We managed to turn it down but being a cast iron radiator the room temperature didn't go down for hours and didn't make for a good night sleep.
We did mention the problem to reception but they were quite vague about how to turn the radiator off and although they mentioned contacting the management, we never saw or heard anybody.
A nice young man from reception did bring us some cold water as he could see how bit the room was.
