You will not be disappointed, it is very close to the Aston Martin heritage museum too !
Pros:

Nice food, excellent building, really nice staff, excellent atmosphere. Well worth a visit.

Cons:

Only observation is the bar closing at 10pm. A little early in my opinion, it is a nice bar and we had been travelling a while.

Hôtel charmant !
Pros:

Très joli hôtel avec le charme de l'ancien. La chambre est confortable.
Le personnel est adorable, très accueillant et serviable.
La carte des petits déjeuners cuisinés est incroyable et les assiettes magnifiques !
Le locaux fréquentent le pub et la terrasse ce qui permet de faire des rencontres et de parler anglais !
L'établissement est situé à distance d'Oxford, dans la campagne, mais facilement accessible par bus. La jeune femme de l'hôtel nous a aidé a charger l'appli des horaires de bus pour que l'on puisse organiser sereinement notre journée du lendemain. En résumé on a beaucoup aimé ce lieu !

Cons:

Les chambres mériteraient d'avoir un petit réfrigérateur et ce serait bien que la porte de la salle de bain/Wc soit fermée jusqu'en haut pour l'intimité, même en couple.

Not great
Pros:

The hospitality and friendliness of the staff were excellent, as were the beer and the food (especially the monkfish).

Cons:

Firstly, the blind in my room wouldn’t open, so despite there being a lovely view outside, the room was permanently dark.

More significantly, the shower didn’t work for the first two days of my stay. I reported it to the site manager on the first morning and was told I could use the shower in another room where someone had already checked out. This meant walking across the pub courtyard with my towel and wash kit, which felt pretty awkward.

I was assured that the shower would either be fixed that day or I would be moved to another room. However, when I returned that evening, I’d had no update and the shower was still not working. I was then told that an electrician couldn’t come until the following day and there were no other rooms available, so I simply had to go without a shower. To be fair, the manager did remove the cost of my evening meal from the bill as a gesture of goodwill.

When I returned the following evening, the shower had finally been fixed – but the door to my room had been left open, presumably by the electrician, with all my belongings inside. The rooms open directly onto the pub courtyard, which is accessible to members of the public, so I found that particularly concerning.

Finally, the cleanliness of the room was really poor. There were coffee splashes on the wall, cobwebs in the bathroom and, worst of all, a used earplug left in the bathroom bin. The accompanying photos probably say more than I can.

I appreciate this isn’t a high-end hotel, and I wasn’t expecting luxury. But at over £100 a night, I do think it’s reasonable to expect a clean room, a working shower, basic security and a blind that opens.

This was such a relaxing place to rest after long days of touring in Oxford and the Cotswolds.
Pros:

The staff of the Coach and Horses were so friendly and helpful. The room was comfortable and relaxing after a long day of touring. They also had a wonderful restaurant and bar. We enjoyed a wonderful breakfast each morning and relaxing with other guests at the bar each evening. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend the Coach and Horses!

Cons:

Nothing. Everything was wonderful!

Enjoyable stay for the night.
Pros:

I like the charm of an old pub. The accommodation was very clean and updated nicely. Room was small but we were only staying for the night so didn’t matter to us.
Staff were very friendly.

Cons:

No airconditioning and pillows were quite flat, you get that in most places, not sure why.
