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!

Enjoyed our stay at Sturdy’s Castle, staff welcoming & helpful. Spotlessly clean & comfortable room. Delicious Indian meal one night at in-house dining room. Plentiful free parking a great bonus. Convenient location to explore the Cotswolds. Highly recommend.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Not at all like images on web site, this is a local pub with a collection of two tier box like rooms at the rear of the car park. These are accessed via some grotty algae covered fire escape metal stairs. The pub had that stale food smell on entering, indicative of dirty carpets and soft furnishings. On entering the bedroom we were met with overpowering heat the windows were closed and an electric radiator was on full, it was literally like a sauna managed to open the window which had mould on the frame, but decided it would take too long to cool down, it was a very plain motel type room. Taking everything into consideration I decided to hand back the keys and did not stay. We could not understand how on earth we had chosen to book this terrible “hotel”, so checked the web site for comparison and still feel the impression given is far removed from what is actually on offer.
