The whole venue is simply amazing. Beautiful building, great atmosphere, very cosy with the multiple log fires. Our room (Blenheim suite) was absolutely stunning. There is nothing I would change about this place! Keep up the great work! We will definitely be back, next time we will eat dinner here (we only stayed here to visit Clarkson’s Farm and the Farmer’s Dog but were left underwhelmed with the food in the Farmer’s Dog).

Charming Hotel Inn in Oxfordshire countryside

Lovely inn in quaint Oxfordshire village. Food and service were excellent and we had a charming cosy room in the Eves of the hotel. Would highly recommend now it is owned by two brothers who clearly take great pride in delivering a wonderful experience.

We recently enjoyed a wonderful stay in the exceptional Blenheim Suite! Cannot say enough good things, it was spacious yet cozy, luxurious and rustic and very charming. We had been prepared to be slightly disappointed, expecting it to not live up to the promotional photographs, but it was truly lovely. We enjoyed dinner on site and breakfast the next morning, which were both great. The staff were all so friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. Would thoroughly recommend and will plan for future visits.
