Good value close to M40
Bit off beaten track nothing but small village around, attached to the pub serving thai food and small british food selection, which was very tasty. Good for quiet country walk iafter.
Small outside bed room, very hot inside on the sunny day I was there, would be unbearable without tall standing fan provided.
Noise from inside pub seemed amplified and loud as right next to one of entrance doors but it ended at 11pm.
Fruit and pastry provided for breakfast next day and beds comfy.
Staff were welcoming and friendly.
Parking - small amount and limited when pub open but can park on road outside.
Would stay here again as good value and not far from Oxford, waterperry gardens and M40.

A good place for a stopover
Really lovely pub with good food and friendly owners/staff. Was a bit noisy early in evening but very quiet by bedtime. Perfect for a night and our plans and not far from the park and ride (parking charges in Oxford are very high - £15 for 2 hours not unusual)

We picked this pub at random. What a good choice! Staff were excellent, rooms was good as was the food. The customers in the pub - and it was packed - were great fun and friendly. Will go there again

The Queen’s Head Inn is so friendly, so clean. It’s simple, sure, but the village is charming and warm. We heard the manor house across from us was haunted by a Grey Lady. Didn’t get to see her, but we did get an extensive tour from the church keeper John and more discussion with the church warden whose name we forgot. Amazing Thai food. We had all of Oxford available to us, and we chose to drive back to eat in Horspath. Jason, the innkeeper, is the best. We will be back when we have work at the Uni. This is the best place to stay when you want to visit Oxford but don’t want to deal with Oxford.

Great pub accommodation
Clean fresh en-suite twin room with everything you could need. Excellent friendly host and superb beer served in the bar. Hot food was not available for breakfast but a small complementary cold breakfast was provided in the room. Recommended.
