I stayed one night and was very happy with the room and the helpfulness of the staff.
Pros:

The rooms were in a separate building next to the main pub. My room was a good size and had an en-suite bathroom with a walk in shower. The bed was very comfy and despite being set on a busy road, traffic noise wasn’t a problem. I ordered a meal which was brought to my room. The food was very well cooked and tasty. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful. The breakfast the following morning was also of a high standard. I’d stay here again.

Cons:

Nothing of note to report.

Good inn. Would use it again.
Pros:

Exactly what it says on the tin. Comfortable country pub, rooms spotless, food good & real ale on hand pumps. Easy access from M40, plenty parking. Staff were great, very friendly. Owners threw in a “large” breakfast in the morning-excellent. Good value.

Cons:

It is on the main road but even with windows open traffic noise was not an issue until a police car went past with full blues & twos at 5am. Bad luck I guess.

It was great. We would very happily return there, and probably will.
Pros:

Accommodation was very comfortable and user-friendly. Staff were friendly and helpful. We felt welcome.

Cons:

There was only one thing. The weather was exceptionally hot, and a bottle of red wine that we were served was at about 28 degrees C. We did manage to get some ice, to bring it back to a palatable temperature. The proprietor is now aware of this, and keen to sort out such issues.

Pros:

Excellent food and service.

Cons:

The room were very hot and we could not open windows due to road noise. To be fair, fans were provided and it was incredibly hot!

Wunderschöne Unterkunft auf dem Land und doch nach an Oxford
Pros:

Sehr schönes Zimmer im Nebenhaus des Inns. Super Essen. Haltestelle für den Bus nach Oxford direkt vor dem Haus. Fährt halbstündlich und man ist in einer halben Stunde in Oxford mittendrin.
