Nice hotel just outside Oxford City.
The stay was good, with a nice hotel feel and plenty of seating for lunch, Dinner etc. Good choice of drink and the food was good in the evening. Room 1 was damp smelling which might be due to the window vents being shut and the bathroom fan was off. Opened the vents and turned the fan on for the next guest. Discussed this on check out.

A clean and tidy, average motel. I would hesitate to call it a hotel as the accommodation is a two story out building behind the pub. Didn't know it was "bike night" so quite a bit of noise. Overall, would I go again? Yes. Would I go for a special occasion? No.

This is a lovely venue the staff were friendly and very helpful. The rooms are a bit dated but overall we’re ok. It was a clean room the one thing that I felt let it down was the pillows they were not great. The location of the hotel is good and we had dinner in the pub in the evening which was amazing. Overall a great little hotel

Its situated just outside Oxford the nearest park and ride transportation was 20 minutes away. It was just by luck that i asked a local about getting into Oxford when we found out the nearest train station was only a couple of mile away in the lovely village of tackley. 1 stop away from Oxford only £10. Return for 2 adults straight into Oxford city centre. Within 10 minutes. Very clean hotel and great food .

We thoroughly loved our stay at Sturdy's Castle. From the moment we arrived we were treated royally! One of the great services we received was that a member of the staff helped us with our laundry. We'd been traveling for many days and needed to do some laundry. When I asked if there was a laundry for guests to use, I was informed no. However, she said that she would be willing to help us and she did! When I tried to pay her, she would not accept. Such service is rare and exceptional. Thank you so very much for a perfect stay at Sturdy's Castle. We'll be back!
