Mooie, propere, ruime kamer. Goede locatie als uitvalsbasis naar centrum Oxford. Gratis parking voor de deur, echter slechts voor ongeveer 5 auto’s.

  • Het ontbijt is zeer lekker maar er is geen buffet of mogelijkheid tot continental breakfast. Ook ‘s avonds geen mogelijkheid om nog een glas te drinken.

The location met our needs and it was a comfortable. Friendly and helpful staff.

Location suited our needs, important to be able to park on site, room comfortable. Very nice having a coffee machine in the room. Bottled water appeared for the second and third day, and a fridge arrived too. The Pub/Hotel was in first week of new ownership, and they were finding their feet. It was only on the last day that we got the full breakfast we should have been having all along. But head chef was good and the food was freshly cooked, although couldn't quite understand why they never had any avocado.

  • It was hot weather while we were there and we needed the windows open - as the pub/hotel is on a corner, and our room was at the front, there was a bit more road noise than one would like. See above about the breakfast.

da tornarci

molto molto buona davvero, anche se semplice (senza buffet) loro sono molto gentili e accoglienti la mia camera era un upgrade di quella prenotata ed era molto bella (grande bagno finestrato) la posizione è molto più interessante di quanto si percepisce dalle foto sul sito e su booking perchè Headington, in realtà, ha parecchie qualità che non ti aspetti (tantissima natura, un parco sportivo e per passeggiare gigantesco e belle casine inglesi di campagna. Lo stesso Black Boy, che sembra posizionato su un incrocio, in realtà a guardare bene è in un contesto di natura e casupole davvero delizioso. Da tornarci anche se vuoi visitare Oxford (a piedi ci vai in meno di un'ora traversando un grande parco) e in bicicletta è di sicuro molto comodo
