Nice room and outdoor space for a picnic and a drink from the bar. Nice village and countryside. Continental breakfast was disappointing. Fire alarm at 7am was a surprise!

Great value stay for us - rooms are warm and clean. You can hear some noise from guests next door but for the budget, it’s excellent. The staff were really lovely and friendly. Car park is easy to park in and just opposite the pub.

Quiet Getaway

Staff were lovely, very friendly and attentive. Easy to communicate with. Cody Okde Worlde type pub with exposed beams, partial thatched roof as well as tiled. Rooms were across a courtyard. Pub was very quiet when we arrived (about 2100). Large Carpark situated across the road.

The wall finishes in the bathroom in particular a bit tired. A bit damp with mould on the ceiling. Needs better ventilation.

A cosy overnight and great staff

Talkhouse is 15 mins from Oxford and we arrived in bad weather, room and pub very cost and staff are outstanding..so great. If there's any negative, I think cleaning details like corner, ledges, handles need attention, and an entrance may as it's an outside chalet.breakfast great and it's stay again.. it feels good to be there.
