Stanton St John is a beautiful village close to Oxford. The Talkhouse, the only pub in the village, has a great setup with practical rooms on the ground floor off the courtyard, each with their own ensuite bathroom. Very peaceful, flexible, clean, and easy to access from the parking area just across the street. We were able to go into Oxford for a theatrical evening and return home to the peace and quiet of our rooms and then wander round the village in the morning and pick some fruit at Rectory Farm. Very relaxing and pleasant.

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.

The wear and tear. Kettle could be descaled. Windows washed occasionaly etc. The staff seemed a bit overstretched and also they were very young so perhaps less likely to appreciate things like this. But although young, they were very sweet

I stay here two or three times a year usually. I usually never have any complaints as I love the hotel that much. Great location, great appearance, great staff and great food.

On this occasion the room had cobwebs in the bedroom area and bathroom. The sideboard had coffee stains on and in between the drawers (not fresh). The hotel only had snack food on due to an indoor craft market which took up restaurant area. I had e-mailed the hotel about this (as I left very early next morning) but I have had no reply. I am disappointed with my stay this time.

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 restaurant was quite pricey, the breakfast bacon/black pudding was dry so perhaps pre cooked and I’d go for a room other than no. 1 due to the low level volume rumbling of machinery (extractor fan or equipment in the main building) heard through the wall.

Room was lovely, comfortable clean and coffee and biscuits topped up each day very nice touch. Shower was good and excellent parking. Best room I've stayed in for a long time would stay again as I'm regularly in the area.

Slightly underwhelmed by the food in the restaurant, the bubble and squeak starter was nice, but the Oxfordshire sausages were not as good as it sounded on the menu. Never mind will try something else on the menu next time.

Brilliant, helpful staff. Lovely accommodation. So helpful with our preparations for a funeral the following morning.

Pillows could have had a bit more life to them! And would have been nice to have a few more bottles in the bathroom, so extra shower gel and hand soap. The wall units were a bit impersonal. Overall fantastic though, these points are very minor. Such brilliant value compared to a Travelodge, which would have cost almost double! Many thanks, we will come again.

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.

Room felt a bit smaller than expected.

Great location, very comfortable bed and great amenities in the room, we’re worried the rooms were on the beer garden but was very quiet when we stayed (tues night) was ideal for staying with our dog when he needed to go out overnight.

Walls are a bit thin between rooms, could here neighbours

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

Room a little basic. This is a motel style inn with suite of rooms each with own key off courtyard behind pub. Car park is across road.

This place is beautiful! The rooms were lovely, clean and comfortable. The staff were all really friendly and helpful. The food is incredible! It is so worth ordering the full English breakfast. It’s the best hotel breakfast I’ve ever had. I was travelling with my parents and they absolutely loved the place. We will all definitely be back in the future.
