A gem of a place, don't hesitate to book!

Stayed for one night in the Burford room, which was an accessible room, with lots of space and a walk in wet room. It was under floor heated and therefore whilst being spacious was also cosy. Beautiful crisp white linen and towels and a super cosy duvet. Headed up by GM Dragos and deputy Connor, this very small team are doing a fabulous job of making the Harcourt Arms a very welcoming place to be. Nothing is too much trouble. All of the staff are extremely knowledgeable about the interesting selection of beers, wines and spirits that they have to offer and whilst being incredibly busy, still manage to find time to stay a while and have a chat. The food... absolutely beautiful! We had another engagement so were unable to stay for dinner but had a sharing plate of nibbles and the most divine lemon cheesecake just because we couldn't stay without experiencing the food. Breakfast was also delicious and was clearly by the look and taste not cheap produce. We cannot wait to come back. Don't hesitate to book, you will not be disappointed.

We recently enjoyed a wonderful stay in the exceptional Blenheim Suite! Cannot say enough good things, it was spacious yet cozy, luxurious and rustic and very charming. We had been prepared to be slightly disappointed, expecting it to not live up to the promotional photographs, but it was truly lovely. We enjoyed dinner on site and breakfast the next morning, which were both great. The staff were all so friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. Would thoroughly recommend and will plan for future visits.

One night in Harwood

From the moment I arrived the service was fantastic and the property was great. Very cosy modern classic interior to the pub. The room was immaculate and had everything you might expect from a hotel room. I will be back.

Charming Hotel Inn in Oxfordshire countryside

Lovely inn in quaint Oxfordshire village. Food and service were excellent and we had a charming cosy room in the Eves of the hotel. Would highly recommend now it is owned by two brothers who clearly take great pride in delivering a wonderful experience.
