The Talkhouse

I had stayed in this property with my partner 2 years ago and was keen to visit it again. I still enjoyed it but there was a little bit of wear and tear. It would be simple stuff. Perhaps washing windows, descaling kettle, a slight lick of primer on wooden beams ... simple bits and pieces like that. I did however enjoy it very much again and hope to visit it again.

Lovely decor of the rooms and modern bathroom. Really liked the stables door and loved the courtyard area to enjoy a drink from the bar in the evening sunshine! Perfect to for our stay with our dog which was included in the room price so was really nice to not have extra dog charges. Friendly, helpful staff and nice breakfast (except bacon/black pudding which was very dry and may have been pre-cooked) otherwise a lovely peaceful retreat.

The room was very clean and the location tranquil. The pub is beautiful and serves tasty food. Weather was very cold, however the room stayed toasty and it was possible to regulate the temperature.

Good car parking outside. You have to remember it's just a pub with rooms not a hotel as such. The rooms are in a barn conversion next to the pub with the pub garden right outside your room which in summer could well be a problem

Convenient for Oxford, Blenheim, and other attractions, in a country location. Good bathroom, all the usual facilities such as teamaking.
