Pros:

Uitstekende locatie voor een bezoek aan Oxford. De S1 bus stopt voor de deur en brengt je in een half uur naar het centrum van Oxford.
Fijn terras en zeer vriendelijke bediening.

Cons:

De kamer (no 6) was heel comfortabel. Goed bed. Het was alleen erg warm omdat de schuiframen niet open blijven. Gelukkig is er een ventilator voor verkoeling.

Pros:

Bed and bedding comfortable, staff very nice, dinner at restaurant was great.
I would stay here again

Cons:

We were here during the heatwave, and all windows were closed when we got into the room. It was really hot. The windows just barely open. We had the room in the corner so at least we had a little breeze coming through.

Staff were really lovely, extremely helpful and friendly. We felt very well looked after.
Pros:

Situated within walking distance to the lovely village, full of nice shops, cafés and pubs. Beautiful place to go and visit.

Cons:

Not something that can be changed due to the property being Older, but you do get some noise from the road at night. As it was hot, we had to have the windows open. I’m not bothered by this, but it could be a problem for some.
