“A proper village inn, is how I'd characterize this place near Blenheim Palace. It strikes me as a particularly friendly spot, appealing to families and those seeking a gastropub atmosphere. The outdoor games and animal-themed rooms add a dash of whimsy, signaling a place that doesn't take itself too seriously, despite the acclaimed dining.”
