+ Staff were friendly and really helpful. Breakfasts were really good. The room was clean. It was quiet in the room even when the restaurant was busy. Location was good as wanted to go in to Oxford shopping.
− We asked about roast dinner on the Sunday and asked about this still being available in the evening, we went at 6.15pm and two of the meats unfortunately were unavailable.

+ Breakfast was very good. Full English or Continental option, choice of cereals. Caring, attentive staff. Room was a good size with all facilities provided. A good size en-suite with large shower. Done out nicely. Clean and tidy. Great location for exploring the local sights. We particularly enjoyed Blenheim Palace, the walks around the enormous grounds and the museums in Woodstock. Well worth the visit! Dinner in the pub restaurant each evening was a very pleasant experience. The staff were attentive and eager to please. The food was absolutely lovely. Sunday roast was perfect. Pub classics done in a very good way. The sausage and mash was beautiful. The burger was absolutely great and the pie and mash really was excellent. You could tell that quality ingredients had been used and everything was freshly cooked. Would definitely stay here again if we were in the vicinity.
− Only because I'm specifically being asked, at breakfast, the beans in ramekin could have been a little warmer but this didn't spoil the overall breakfast. It's really not an issue. With regard to the room, the floodlights lit up the bedroom window so there was still a glow in the room with the blind down and curtins drawn. We live in a rural area with no lighting at night so we aren't used to this but people from towns and cities may not even notice.
