“This Oxford establishment strikes me as a gastropub with rooms, not the other way around; British cuisine and a curated drink selection stand out. Its location allows easy access to Oxford and Blenheim Palace. I appreciate the blend of local art and a family-friendly atmosphere; the garden also adds to the appeal.”
