Not the most comfortable room, no chair and the beds very firm but the room was clean and in good décor. room has a kettle and a small fridge and met all our needs for the short stay. The inn was very close to the town centre and five minutes to walk. We would stay there again if we return to Oxford shopping.

The hotel is really well placed, with free parking on site. The room (n°5) on the second floor was spacious, cute and clean. But, the noise during the night was unbearable, we could not sleep for the 2 nights we stayed in. So if you come to Oxford to party that's perfect, but if you want to visit and sleep at night, avoid it.

Its located on walking distance from the city center. The building is old but the room we got was renovated, clean and spacious. Nice personel. It is very noicy though both from the bar downstairs and from the street but if that doesn’t bother you It’s ok.

The bed was incredibly uncomfortable, I could feel the metal from the mattress protruding through and only managed to sleep when I slept on half my duvet and wrapped myself in the other half. If there had been two of us this would have been difficult. Never come across such a bad mattress. But the staff were kind and the room was clean.

Location was superb. Parking facilities great. Large flat screen TV which was good. Main grouse was the hot shower. Miserable trickle. Takes a good 30 mins to wash my hair. Temp fluctuates between cold as ice and boiling hot with very little in between. It’s a pub so nothing much of customer service to speak of

It was very basic, the toilet was full of brown water and the bathroom smelt of sewage initially until we run the tap for a few minutes. The room was basic, the initial welcome/greeting was poor but the breakfast and breakfast staff were excellent. Ideal location for Oxford.

luckily we only need to stay one night here: very small room and low roof; very noisy till the late night (room is on the high traffic street); shower with very low pressure and flow rate, no hot water; breakfast just passable. In total, too expensive for its quality.

The location was excellent being a short walk into Oxford, with a choice of amazing restaurants around the corner on Cowley Road. The traffic noise at night was very loud but we expected that. The room had been recently refurbished and was clean and comfortable. The dining room was gloomy and the breakfast was passable.

Perfecte locatie, op wandelafstand van het centrum van Oxford. Propere kamers met alle voorzieningen alleen soms een beetje moeilijk om er door de smalle gangetjes met lage plafonds te geraken. Ontbijt echter erg summier en zeker in de voormiddag weinig tot geen personeel te bespeuren.

Good price and location. Sad bit is they redid pub and lost all world look. No real ales. I’ve stayed before and miss the pub. Two good pubs near by. Great full English breakfast but only available for 1 hr 7:30-8:30

Great location with parking, breakfasts were really good. Room was quirky but comfortable and as its an 18th century coaching inn to be expected. One niggle water pressure was not great for shower.

Location is great, and the almost ancient feel of this old carriage house is just neat.
