Good value
Great value for money. Nice pub, perfectly adequate room, clean, everything you need for an overnight stay. Pillows & duvet not the best quality but we were comfortable. Good towels. We would definitely stay again & it’s a good location if, like us, you needed to be close to the Churchill hospital or any of the Headington hospitals.

Great except the bad smell
Food was great. Staff all very friendly. Sadly the bed was less comfy than hoped and had to mark down as the bathroom was very very smelly.
