“Tudor-era restaurant with rooms just outside Oxford. A sensitive renovation has maintained a cosy historic feel; oak wood, traditional fabrics & vintage furniture make simple rooms feel warm & homely. The atmospheric dining room serves up great fare. An authentic & affordable country pub experience.”

The Bear and Ragged Staff

Take the opportunity to escape the bustle of Oxford with a stay at this comfortable pub in a village on the outskirts of town. The building dates back to the 16th century, but today it is run by foodie-centric pub group Peach Pubs.
