The Harcourt Arms

I've stayed at Harcourt arms several times before but the last time was very disappointing Service has got much worse. They appear to be having conferences/ meetings which has impacted badly. The car park is full with no where else to parkin the day and the evening The restaurant seems to be closed permanently and catering for the meetings only. Which has impacted the service in thebar where residents now have no choice but eat in there and as the afternnon and evening meetings/conferences seem to take priority causing a long wait for food for the residents. What was once a village pub has graduated into a perfectly acceptable restaurant pub with accommodation into what appears to be an extremely busy meeting place with insufficient parking or facilities to cope I don't know if the villagers will be happy with daytime and evening coming and going of a conference centre traffic The new management seems contemptuous of the both hotel residents and local residents

We often go out for a Sunday roast in West Oxfordshire, and yesterday we found a real gem - Harcourt Arms. It is the best Sunday roast we’ve had for a long time, simply delicious and plenty of it. It includes all the sides and lots of a devine gravy. My boy had a brownie & ice cream, which was also incredible. Highly recommend this place and we will be back in March. They also had a 0.5% beer on draught, volt and it was lovely, very similar to a full alcoholic pint.

Excellent stay from the moment we arrived until we left (2 nights). Very comfortable and quiet. Our room was warm even though it was minus 6 outside! Very good breakfast choices and evening meals. Particularly enjoyed the avocado and eggs breakfast and the steak frites dinner. Highly recommend.

We went to The Harcourt Arms for Sunday lunch and it was excellent, so would highly recommend this place. Each course was outstanding, and the menu provided enough options for both vegetarians and meat eaters without being overwhelming. All of the dishes we had were delicious and clearly freshly prepared in the kitchens. The service was attentive and friendly and they have a great selection of beers and wines. It was so nice to get out of Oxford city centre and in only 20 minutes arrive at this welcoming and cosy traditional pub where the fires were burning. We will be back soon.

We stayed at this pub in November as a party of four, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Good points: clean and comfortable bedroom; tasty food; good selection of beers/wines; friendly staff; good value accommodation. Not quite so good points: food a bit pricey (but not extortionate); bar/restaurant areas were cold, as a roof light was open to let smoke from the fire escape. Probably not usually an issue, but we stayed when there had been a fall of snow, so the pub struggled to retain any heat. Suggest something needs to be done to sort the smoke extract out! Overall it was a great place to stay, and we'll certainly be heading back in the Spring.

This was a truly lovely restful and delightful stay in a lovely character-filled 'Inn' with superb team members and the most wonderful food. Genuinely we had a restful 18 hours, enjoying interesting and tasty food, great beer and an excellent breakfast. Thank you Callum and Jacob for your care and attention to us.
