Summary: Bit of room to improve here, to charge the rate paid (£118). The floors weren’t clean, and the decorating very tired - lots of messy paint, rusty radiator, and mucky old window in the shower room. I will highlight the very comfortable bed & quality bedding as the best aspect of our stay! But cleaning the floors (and toilet) between guests is essential.
norah Dec 5, 2025 09:30:40 PM
Summary: Clean room, comfortable bed, pillows a bit tired. Very helpful staff, beautiful old tavern with delicious food, close to Oxford. Free parking too!
Steve Oct 30, 2025 05:15:00 PM
Summary: Decent place to stay for the night, clean room and good food on offer at the pub.
Janine Oct 30, 2025 03:43:25 PM
Summary: Checked in after a day out, sadly the bar area and restaurant was cold although heating was on, we were shown to our room which had an overpowering smell of lavender, assume cleaning products (so good sign), room was cosy with standard size bed & good powerful shower but no hot water from sink tap. Our food from the restaurant was tasty. During the night we found the room to be noisy from other guests using bathrooms etc or coming and going as no sound proofing in place. Staff were friendly. Free car parking across the road and good location for several attractions in the area.
David Oct 28, 2025 01:35:34 PM
Summary: Basic rooms, great pub with excellent food
Eleanor Oct 7, 2025 02:33:10 AM
Summary: The room was cosy and tidy, with a lovely blanket and felt quite fresh. The bed was a standard double size, which fit the room well. The staff were friendly and very helpful, they let me use their charger when i forgot mine. The food was delicious and good sized portions (the chocolate fudge cake was huge! Could have been a bit warmer, but very tasty all the same!) The bar was pretty and comfortable and the breakfast was freshly cooked and of ample portio s, plus cereals and toast available in addition to the full english. It was a lovely stay and i would go there again if i am in the area.
Mark Sep 16, 2025 08:05:55 PM
Summary: Relaxing and carefree accommodation.
Jane Aug 9, 2025 10:42:50 PM
Summary: Nice room and outdoor space for a picnic and a drink from the bar. Nice village and countryside. Continental breakfast was disappointing. Fire alarm at 7am was a surprise!
Christopher Jul 25, 2025 04:52:09 PM
Summary: Quaint, historic, charming, friendly staff
Roy Jul 14, 2025 12:05:14 AM
Summary: The pub itself was very quaint but there was so much wrong with the room and service that I really don't know where to start! The room was very small and musty smelling. It opened on to the beer garden but the window had no net curtains or privacy glass, so the only way to get privacy was to close the main curtains with a 10watt bulb in the ceiling. There was no wardrobe or chest of drawers, just a black wrought iron clothes rail with a knob which was perfectly positioned at eye-level! The worse part was that the whole place felt grubby, grimy and dirty. I've never seen such cheap, thin, degrained bed sheets and the pillows were also lumpy and disgusting. We decided to sleep on top of the bed rather than get inside! I knocked a tin of drink off the bedside table, mopped it up then used a wetted bath mat to clean the floor… the bathmat turned black with grime off the flooring! The bathroom was also musty and the extractor fan had a mesh over it which was full of dead wasps/insects! The towels were an off-white, creamy-grey colour and stained in several places. I wish I had more room here to write everything i wanted to cover. The only positive thing I can say about The Talkhouse is that the staff in the pub were very friendly. In summary, a quaint country pub with dirty, grubby rooms and zero customer service. Obviously, we'd never stay here again.
