A buffet breakfast is served on weekdays from 7:30 AM to 8:30 AM at The Old Black Horse Inn. Nearby attractions include the Covered Market Oxford (1 km) and the Bodleian Library (1 km).

“Staying here places you within a comfortable walk of Oxford's center, or an easy bus ride if you prefer. I found the rooms well-maintained, with bathrooms that appear recently updated. The added perk of on-site parking is a definite advantage in this location.”
