lovely staff member welcomed us and showed us to our room. She was really kind and helpful explaining how dinner and breakfast worked, explained that drinks would be added to our bill and that the heating was on a timer. the pub goers were all very friendly and the pub is dog friendly. the car park is opposite the pub and the rooms adjacent. we ate there a selection of starters, the best being the creamy mushrooms, though the black pudding, cheesy chips and the whitebait were lovely too. the following morning the cooked breakfast was lovely. no pressure to check out early. good value for money

nothing

The evening meal was absolutely delicious, we had the whitebait starter to share, then we had the fish n chips (one of the best we have had), then the crumble with custard for 1 and ice cream with the other, finished off with a baileys coffee and a baileys hot chocolate.

The shower in the room wasn't the strongest one power wise, but at least you could move it around your body to remove the soapy suds

The bed was very comfortable with good quality bed linen. I slept really well. Very good breakfast too.

The room was cold when I checked in at 8pm. I was assured that the heating was on but an hour later the radiator was still cold. I moved the sofa away from the radiator and could then see that the thermostatic valve had been turned down to frost setting I turned it up and it did warm up but when I got up at 7 am the radiator was cold again. One of the bedside lights wasn’t working.

Excellent Country Pub with great rooms and the meals are first class The landlord, staff and the pub regulars made us most welcome It was a real pleasure to stay there This will become our first choice whenever we need to stop again in this area.

Minor. minor. point car park needs a bit of TLC nothing to put you off from staying though.

Good welcome from the host who offered to carry my bags and was extremely efficient without being abrupt. Great beer garden and covered outdoor seating. Food at dinner was well presented and imaginative, seeming to add to the taste. Extensive breakfast buffet included fresh fruit and a wide selection of other goodies.

1 perfect poached egg at breakfast, 1 came with part of the water it was cooked in : soon got rid of the water via a napkin !

The room was a good size, with 3 chairs available to sit on. Breakfast was very good, with a reasonable choice for a small place, and pleasant helpful staff. Evening meal was good too. Car park was close, albeit a bit bumpy.

In the very hot conditions, a room fan would have been a great asset. Despite having 2 windows, getting the room cool was difficult. The hot water seemed to lack pressure and took a while to arrive at the tap. There was WiFi in the bar area, but none at all in the room, a big disadvantage. (A new broadband had recently been installed, so this might be teething problems.) Data service to the mobile phone is weak, so setting up a mobile "hotspot" wasn't an option.

Nice size room, very clean with tea and coffee making facilities. Quiet location on edge of village with adequate parking. Good choice of food on the dinner menu at reasonable prices, most enjoyable dinner. The breakfast had cereal, juices and yogurts, whilst the cooked breakfast was freshly cooked to order - the scrambled eggs were perfect! The staff were friendly and attentive, would definitely stay again when in the area.

It was cute, quiet, rural location. The room was mostly well equipped. Bed was really comfy, breakfast was freshly cooked, not pre done. Landlord very friendly. Plenty of parking.

The light above the mirror didn’t work, so had to do make up at one in room, no air con, and plug charge points , but I know that’s just picky!! As the place was characteristically olde, so shouldn’t expect this.

Ideally situated for our trip to Garsington opera . Friendly welcome and lovely breakfast . Easy parking .

Although the room was clean and the bed comfortable the room really needs some refurbishing as does the bathroom. Grout and sealant in particular. The curtains of our room were very ragged and faded thanks to the effects of sun . We stayed here last year and it hadn’t improved in this respect.

Bed was comfy , bedding was clean, towels clean, white and fluffy. Tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits in the room. Toiletries in bathroom and plenty of hot water for a bath. Breakfast was excellent with cereals, yogurt, fruit juice, cereals and fruit plus full English and toast.

Shower was slow so bath was a better choice. Room was a bit 'tired' and curtains frayed.
