Perfect for a quick cycling or walking break.
A very enjoyable stay. Room was basic but clean. We were given a very warm welcome by Jason who showed us to our room. The Thai restaurant which is located at the Pub/Hotel served an absolutely delicious 5* meal and is a must if you’re planning on staying here. The location is perfect for a hiking or cycling getaway break.

A good place for a stopover
Really lovely pub with good food and friendly owners/staff. Was a bit noisy early in evening but very quiet by bedtime. Perfect for a night and our plans and not far from the park and ride (parking charges in Oxford are very high - £15 for 2 hours not unusual)

Friendly atmosphere, jovial and approachable owner and staff. While the food is perhaps a departure from typical English fare, its still quite good. Overall a great way to experience the real England.

Fabulous, Jason the landlord was very accommodating and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful.
The Thai food in the restaurant was yummy.
The bus stop close to the Queens Head was very handy for commuting into Oxford £4.50 return for the day.

Great pub accommodation
Clean fresh en-suite twin room with everything you could need. Excellent friendly host and superb beer served in the bar. Hot food was not available for breakfast but a small complementary cold breakfast was provided in the room. Recommended.

Great friendly local vibes
This is a must stay for the true local experience near Oxford.
Very nice people the owner Jason is one of the true inn keepers you’ve seen in movies and the entire staff will go above and beyond to help in any way.
We were there just one night as a side trip and it has been the highlight of the trip.
Pub is great with lots of locals, the rooms are not 5 star but are clean and comfortable with everything you really need, my teen son said this room is “cool”.
I will definitely keep on my list for a return.
Jason and Louie are the best Cheers!

Needs improving but got potential
Very basic, no toiletries, no hair dryer, pub food average, told I would receive continental breakfast in my room that never arrived.
The service on the other hand from the bar was fantastic and the locals great people.
Comfortable bed.
