Wonderful stay
Stayed for 2 nights and wow what a lovely place. We were made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The restaurant/pub food is absolutely delicious and the breakfast equally so. Met two female housemaids and they were so lovely and friendly it made our stay so much more comfortable. Would highly recommend staying at Sturdys castle when visiting Oxford or the surrounding area.

Very good overall, food good, accomodation good, we stayed saturday & sunday night but didnt realise that sunday night the restaurant closed at 6 and the pub closed at 8pm, probably our own fault for not reading the blurb properly, but still alittle disappointing when in a hotel not close to anything else.

The bedrooms are a two block building which is separate from the country inn. They are located behind the Inn. We found the room and bathroom to be clean. The bed was comfortable.There was instant hot water when needed.The food was very good. The staff were helpful and friendly.
