Brilliant stay, check in was quick and smooth. Show to our rooms which were clean and spacious with large king bed. Staff were excellent during the stay and even did us a meal which wasn't on the recently updated menu. Breakfast freshly cooked and again adapted the choice for my colleague.

Beautiful place and the food was amazing! Just need to put a mirror, plug and chair in the same area in the room and it would be perfect (minor thing in a room that was otherwise lovely).

It was a great break. Only issue was the 24/7 music from the public system,the speaker in the dining room was right under my bedroom. Being an old building the soundproofing is non existent

A lovely pretty location. Staff were friendly and attentive, kitchen could be a little slow at times and food was ok. Some aspects of room needed some care, radiators needed bleeding although oil rads were supplied, loose toilet seat and taps. We still enjoyed our stay as these were not big issues.

Great stay in a historic building. Liked it as it was extremely historic with the beams etc. Staff were nice. Dogs enjoyed the place. Is on a nice historic street and down the road is the hall and walking trails.

Very much enjoyed the quirkiness of staying in a 15th century inn! Our room had wonderful beams and rafters. Really interesting history - Richard III stayed there. The staff were always helpful, attentive and polite, and the food was good. Overall a great place for our short break, with Witney and Burford in easy reach.
