We had two rooms at this boutique hotel for one night. We decided to have dinner at the restaurant and that was an excellent decision. The cleanest hotel that we have stayed at and everything about this property and the food was exceptional. Thank you to all the staff who made us feel at home, especially Mariana who made sure all went well.

Really enjoyed the amazing warm breakfast included with the room. The restaurant is a must, to have some amazing food in the evening. The hotel was quiet, and the bed comfy. The location of the property is in easy walking distance from the train station, a car rental store and also the amazing Oxford city centre.

The Porterhouse is a fantastic mix of a classic inn / pub, best in class steakhouse and wonderfully pleasant boutique hotel, if you stay in one of their seven rooms. The staff is super friendly, helpful and attentive! We had a fantastic stay and meal here and highly recommend this property for a meal and stay while in Oxford.

couple of days away.

We thought the hotel was lovely. The room was large. The hanging space for clothes was short, which wasn't good for hanging dresses. We felt the room could have benefited from a comfortable chair there is room. The curtains were difficult to close in the bay window because of the desk, they needed to be closed as the blinds were not black out blinds. The hotel was within easy walking distance to the town, but it was a nuisance parking. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was spotless.

Amazing, welcoming, friendly staff. Large, well-appointed room. Great food in the pub. Two minutes from the train station and busses on a quiet, residential street, and just about a 10-15 minute walk to the main area of Oxford. Great experience all around.

Very nice property which located just outside town so very quiet, still less than a 5 minute walk from the station though. Staff were very friendly and room was very pleasant. Breakfast options were different from a usual hotel which made a nice change, the only place in England I’ve seen that gives you a piece of steak with your cooked breakfast. Would definitely stay again!
