“What strikes me is its clever transformation from a former pub, retaining warmth while providing modern comforts. Its location, a short walk to the city centre yet set in a quiet residential area, is ideal for those wanting to explore Oxford's historic sites without sacrificing peace. I appreciate the balance it strikes: original architectural details paired with bright, modern rooms.”
