A great stay at the Bat & Ball. Very convenient for travel to park and ride in Oxford. Very welcoming, clean and tidy. Food was also very good. Plenty of places to exercise the dog as well.
Parking was quite tight but perfectly adequate the 2 nights we stayed. The bar and restaurant were absolutely fantastic and the staff could not have been more friendly and welcoming.
Great pub based hotel, very nice room and comfy bed. Attention to detail was excellent. Oak milk, nespresso style coffee in room. Very nice breakfast, friendly locals and staff. Great beer and food on the evening. Only thing is they only serve food until 8.15pm and bar shuts at 10pm but not really a problem if you know about it and plan

Friendliest of staff and comfy clean rooms. Gorgeous food & cosy atmosphere. Good breakfast (extra for eggs).
Dog loved the field at the back and handy!
Hope to be back
We stayed 2 nights in a suite. The room was delightful and we slept very well.
Dinner both nights was outstanding and we wished we could have stayed longer to try out more of the menu !
Breakfast was freshly cooked each morning and also delicious. Would definitely return.
Really delighted I found this place, good car park, comfy quiet room, surprisingly good coffee from the "pod" machine.
Friendly helpful team, not a huge menu on a Tuesday night, but that tends to hint that it's about quality rather than quantity...and that was proved right.
Really good scrambled eggs on toast for breakfast, the sour dough was exceptional.

Warmest of welcomes and a lovely clean room, well appointed but lacking a tv 🤔.
Good in the restaurant was excellent and as I was leaving early, a takeaway breakfast was kindly offered.
Absolutely superb in every way. BUT....
The room(s) was/are under a sloped, tiled roof. Weather very warm. But it was unbearably hot. Unable to sleep properly. A real shame, as it was otherwise excellent.

What an amazing dog friendly place! Warm welcome from Peter and all the staff to a beautiful pub with a lovely mix of locals and customers who had obviously travelled to spend their night here.
Our room was really spacious, beautifully decorated and comfortable. Nice touches of special toiletries, biscuits and drinks.
We so much appreciated that our dog Douglas was so well looked after with lots of biscuits and greetings.
Nice walks across the neighbouring park and fields beyond and parking in the back.
The food was stunning. We had a range of choices from classic pub to higher end dining and the wine list and drink choice was extensive.
Will definately be back to stay!
