The second time we have stayed. Previous reviews a little unfair. Close to excellent Studley Park Golf Club. Food was very pleasant. Room a little basic, but clean and warm. And at £79 ...... The food was most acceptable for around £30 inc wine.

Really a restaurant with accommodation. Rooms are out the back, beside the car park, in a purpose-built block. Room was OK but needed some simple maintenance; peeling paint, etc. Adequately clean, bed well used and small, towels threadbare, plumbing noisy but worked well enough. Somewhat musty, clearly not used much. Reminiscent of holiday camp chalets; an aura of good intentions followed by neglect.

Bar area tiny, poor beer selection, no real ale (shame). Bar staff straight off the ferry, tried to serve a "ginger tonic" - no English at all really, had to be rescued by a colleague. Restaurant food rather good, we certainly enjoyed our meal although service was a bit haphazard. Don't order bread - you have to pay for it and you get about three tiny slices for 3 pounds a time. Wine overpriced, but chilled tapwater offered without having to ask. Some of the wine list was "not available" - virtually pot luck?

All the staff appeared to be foreign, with variable English, but they did try, and were quite effective. The chef can certainly cook well. Seemed to be some local trade, rather noisy as the evening wore on.

Overall a curious experience to find in a remote Oxfordshire village; something you would expect to see in a suburban high street really; just doesn't fit in with the surroundings. I suppose it was designed to appeal to second-homers wanting a Putney wine bar at the weekend. Sterile as a result, which is a pity.

Hotel accommodation in the area is very scarce so this is worth considering - but check the room before you pay.

Stayed 2 nights. Dirty unwashed cups on arrival at room. Room unclean. Overcharged on drinks and overcharged on accommodation at check-out. Manager very rude and staff have a language barrier. Would not recommend.
