The staff were lovely, as well as helpful, the pub was a short walk from shops and cafes. And the staff graciously called us a taxi into Oxford. We stayed here for a wedding in Oxford and it was the perfect stay. The room was very clean, well stocked with tea and coffee, and the local soaps were nice in the clean and modern bathroom. Breakfast in the morning was great, too, with a proper full English breakfast. ##### Cara Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason 16 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities They were so kind to us opening breakfast early so we could get to LHR at a time they also helped us determine. The room was great, I would recommend this to anyone. Oxford is a bit of a mess right now with all the road work so staying on the outskirts was a benefit. ##### Jason Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lorraine 13 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Handy location for John Radcliffe Hospital.
