Foxy and the bar staff were exceptionally efficient and caring.

The name of the hotel has an unusual origin. Traditionally, the University of Oxford allowed their students to stable horses, but not the dogs. With nowhere else to house the animals, the proprietor of the local inn offered an invaluable dog-sitting service and the venue became known as the Dog House.

We had a wonderful meal when we arrived, not too long to wait. Enjoyed the room. We could sit inside or out at the dinning and drinking areas. Very close to beauty spots and Oxford.

Just a few minutes’ walk from Oxford city centre, the Head of the River is situated on the banks of the scenic River Thames. This traditional inn features a riverside terrace and a stylish restaurant.

The elegant bedrooms are individually decorated, and some have river views. All rooms feature a TV and a private modern bathroom with free toiletries. Guests will find bathrobes and slippers in some rooms.

We expected that the hotel would be quite noisy, especially as we had a room beside the beer garden and close to the road. However this was never an issue. We also thought the hotel may have been a bit far from the High street, but it was an easy walk to all the tourist attractions. And to stroll along the river was quite idyllic.

Old Black Horse is located just 5 minutes’ walk from the centre of Oxford. This 17th-century coaching inn offers free WiFi and a bar.

The inn offers easy access to the High Street, the university buildings and Magdalen College’s deer park.

I liked this hotel very much. It's small and cozy and situated in the center of Oxford. Very convinient accomodation. If I visit Oxford one more time I'll definitely stay at Old Black Horse Inn.

    Lovely warm welcome from Kayleigh and the team. A perfect overnight stay for a trip to Oxford. Great country pub, good choice of beer and the food was delicious (both dinner and breakfast). The room had everything you need including a great powerful shower. Steventon is really accessible to Oxford, there's a fast direct bus service or you can drive 10 mins to the Redbridge park & ride.
