Staff was very accommodating. Room was comfy and warm. Not updated to look modern but instead retains its ambience. Breakfast was very nice. Walking distance to central Oxford. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We had a wonderful stay here. A very nice room, with walkable location and a marvelous breakfast too! The only demerit is the bed which was sagging quite a bit and needs to be replaced. Otherwise, it was a delightful stay for our family of 3.
