The Sun Inn at Hook Norton

It was amazed that i found such a wonderful hotel. Their rooms are so clean, breakfast so tasty, and comes with a pub downstairs in the hotel. most importantly, you can enjoy a fantastic tour of Hook Norton, Oxford. Across the road, you gonna see this ancient church with more than 100 year history. Then you go along the roads, beautiful England style houses are poped out of your eyes. you just feel that you gotta stay longer there for such beautiful views which happen only in movies before.

It wouldn’t take much to make this place good. The pub itself is nice and the food good. The accommodation could be better however. When we went to check-in, we arrived 20 minutes early. Instead of politely being told our room wasn’t quite ready and we would be welcome to sit outside in the afternoon sun, we were abruptly told “rooms aren’t ready until 4, come back then”. In fact, in general we didn’t find the staff particularly friendly during our stay. The room itself was fine, nothing fancy, but enough for what we needed. The bathroom was slightly odd, money had obviously been spent on it, which made it strange that some things seemed like they hadn’t been replaced, the bath panel was extremely tatty and the choice of flooring despite being grippy looked, perhaps was dirty. The main area for improvement however is the entrance/exit when the pub is closed. It wouldn’t cost much to improve this. Currently having to navigate the old mops, drying rubber mats and buckets with strange contents in, isn’t the most welcoming, neither is the makeshift cardboard doormat. We were also unable to get a WiFi signal in our room, which although wasn't an issue for us, I can see it being a major issue for other families. The breakfast was a welcome bonus and the continental selection left in the room and the downstairs fridge was generous. Eating it the room was slightly challenging especially with young children. We enjoyed our stay despite the feedback provided, which is meant to be constructive. 3.5 stars would be a fair reflection in my opinion.

Delicious breakfast/brunch in this pub in the beautiful village of Hook Norton. Staying nearby we decided to treat ourselves to a weekend breakfast out. We were not disappointed. Good sized portions, the full vegetarian was great as was the full English, friendly staff, nice atmosphere Would definitely recommend
