The hotel gave me a room with a gorgeous roll top bath as I had requested, so I was very grateful to enjoy a luxurious soak. I also was very happy with the breakfast; you can order anything off their menu, however it was inconvenient that breakfast wasn't served until 8am because I had a to be at a seminar in the centre of Oxford by 9am and I ended up arriving there late. I also could not find the car park so had to pay for the long stay.

In need of a refurb and no hot water.

A quirky town pub hotel. In need of a refurb. Entrance and hallway/ stair carpets worn and tattered. Room dark and dingy. No hot water and not enough water pressure for a morning shower. We will not be returning.
