Nice room above a pub

The room was simple but neat, with a nice bathroom. Private parking. Good bus connection to the city.

Don’t book the breakfast!

Close to Oxford so able to get in by bus and leave car on site. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

👎 Disliked
  • The fact that it closes at 6:00 p.m. on a Sunday and the breakfast is very poor for the price, not necessarily the quality but what you actually get for your money.
