The room was cosy and tidy, with a lovely blanket and felt quite fresh. The bed was a standard double size, which fit the room well. The staff were friendly and very helpful, they let me use their charger when i forgot mine. The food was delicious and good sized portions (the chocolate fudge cake was huge! Could have been a bit warmer, but very tasty all the same!) The bar was pretty and comfortable and the breakfast was freshly cooked and of ample portio s, plus cereals and toast available in addition to the full english. It was a lovely stay and i would go there again if i am in the area.

Great value stay for us - rooms are warm and clean. You can hear some noise from guests next door but for the budget, it’s excellent. The staff were really lovely and friendly. Car park is easy to park in and just opposite the pub.

Quiet Getaway

Staff were lovely, very friendly and attentive. Easy to communicate with. Cody Okde Worlde type pub with exposed beams, partial thatched roof as well as tiled. Rooms were across a courtyard. Pub was very quiet when we arrived (about 2100). Large Carpark situated across the road.

Staff were really friendly and chatty. Really nice pub to sit by the fire for a couple of drinks. Room nice and clean, decent size but metal bar to hang clothes is positioned badly and nearly knocked myself out as it was so close to bed when getting out and moving around. Would happily stay again.

A cosy overnight and great staff

Talkhouse is 15 mins from Oxford and we arrived in bad weather, room and pub very cost and staff are outstanding..so great. If there's any negative, I think cleaning details like corner, ledges, handles need attention, and an entrance may as it's an outside chalet.breakfast great and it's stay again.. it feels good to be there.

Right from the start the staff were very friendly and helpful nothing was to much trouble. Our room was different, more like a log cabin, but clean and comfortable. We liked every thing about the hotel/ pub.

Fabulous staying

Amazing accommodation under all aspects. As a foreigner I recommend it for a wonderful british experience. The place has the rustic charm I was looking for, and is very comfortable inside. Big room and good bathroom, both very clean, and fantastic pub for the dinner. The staff also was very nice. The area is very peaceful but just few miles from the cuty. Absolutely recommended.

Good value

Great value for money. Nice pub, perfectly adequate room, clean, everything you need for an overnight stay. Pillows & duvet not the best quality but we were comfortable. Good towels. We would definitely stay again & it’s a good location if, like us, you needed to be close to the Churchill hospital or any of the Headington hospitals.

Sadly a no from me

The worst bedding I have ever had. Lumpy thin pillows and duvet and cheap feeling linen. The room smelt of damp and they had tried to mask it with an air freshner. The room looked tired and in need of a refresh. The rooms were in an outbuilding located around a beer garden which in the summer i image would be very noisy if busy. The walls of the room were very thin and we were woken by a loud noise every time our neighbour used the toilet or sink. This is an honest review that I am sad to leave as the service and staff were so nice. The hotel itself is a pretty country pub serving very good food. They just need to work on making the guests stay more comfortable. Just for the record, i am not an over picky person.

It comes across as a North American experience in the English countryside. The staff are very pleasant, but one senses the owners are more interested in efficiency and the quick pound than the customer. Breakfast is either continental with basic supermarket food delivered at 10:00 pm the night before (an odd time, one could be in bed, certainly in pyjamas) or a hot breakfast at 10:00am at the absolute earliest in the restaurant. It is awkward eating the continental breakfast in the room with no table and chairs, and no napkins are supplied. The restaurant at the pub for evening food is certainly excellent. Worth going for the restaurant in itself.
