The hotel is situated in the beautiful Oxford area, a bit away from the main pub. The rooms offer a mix of comfort and character, with a small but cozy bar nearby. While the dining experience had its shortcomings, the overall value for money is good.

It's been 20 years since we lived around here, and the location still holds its charm. Although it's away from the main pub, the area in Oxford is lovely. Sadly, I wouldn't recommend eating at the pub, despite its appeal.

The dining experience had its flaws; I remember having a rock-hard brioche with my scrambled eggs. However, the modern touches in the food presentation were appreciated. The fact that the focaccia bread was included was a nice gesture.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room had a cozy and characterful vibe, and there's a fantastic bar right at your doorstep. The bed was super comfortable, and the sofa added a nice touch. However, the dining experience left much to be desired with some issues like a rock-hard brioche. The location was great, but I would not recommend eating in the pub. Overall, a mixed bag but still a pleasant experience.
