Guest reviews for Sturdy's Castle Country Inn

Reviewed yesterday via mobile Stayed at Sturdy's Castle for one night when taking part in the Blenheim Palace Triathlon. The accommodation is at the rear of the pub/restaurant. The room was spacious, clean, tidy and included complimentary tea/coffee making facilities. Sturdy's Castle is surrounded by fields so the view from the rooms is pleasant, especially on a sunny day. We didn't have dinner in the restaurant as we had already eaten when we arrived, though we did have breakfast the next morning. Breakfast was of a very good standard with a choice of English or continental. One point to note is that the hotel doesn't have cots. We were travelling with a young baby and this would have been useful. Fortunately we had brought a moses basket with us. Overall a lovely hotel and an enjoyable stay
