The wall finishes in the bathroom in particular a bit tired. A bit damp with mould on the ceiling. Needs better ventilation.

Sadly a no from me

The worst bedding I have ever had. Lumpy thin pillows and duvet and cheap feeling linen. The room smelt of damp and they had tried to mask it with an air freshner. The room looked tired and in need of a refresh. The rooms were in an outbuilding located around a beer garden which in the summer i image would be very noisy if busy. The walls of the room were very thin and we were woken by a loud noise every time our neighbour used the toilet or sink. This is an honest review that I am sad to leave as the service and staff were so nice. The hotel itself is a pretty country pub serving very good food. They just need to work on making the guests stay more comfortable. Just for the record, i am not an over picky person.

Great value stay for us - rooms are warm and clean. You can hear some noise from guests next door but for the budget, it’s excellent. The staff were really lovely and friendly. Car park is easy to park in and just opposite the pub.

Nice enough, but...

Booked with the lure of roaring fires in the pub: not so, there weren't any logs so no can do... we didn't really want to sit around all evening (as we were staying the night) in our jumpers but so be it. Other people kept their coats on. It was Monday night so maybe no chef but my Asian risotto was a porrigey mess that had no Asian flavours at all and a couple of limp pieces of pak choi that looked like leftovers. My husband's pie had nothing but potato inside and the pie crust was not edible. We just said OK when we were asked about the food because, what are the staff going to do? Offer more of the same? Room was cosy and had heating but certainly was not soundproof, we could hear next door's TV and road traffic noise. Could do better. The staff were fine but the "directors" need a rethink.

A cosy overnight and great staff

Talkhouse is 15 mins from Oxford and we arrived in bad weather, room and pub very cost and staff are outstanding..so great. If there's any negative, I think cleaning details like corner, ledges, handles need attention, and an entrance may as it's an outside chalet.breakfast great and it's stay again.. it feels good to be there.

Staff were really friendly and chatty. Really nice pub to sit by the fire for a couple of drinks. Room nice and clean, decent size but metal bar to hang clothes is positioned badly and nearly knocked myself out as it was so close to bed when getting out and moving around. Would happily stay again.
