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.

We stayed for one night and had an evening meal. The young male staff member who greeted us and showed us to our room was welcoming but the female staff were not very professional and their lack of communication did not provide us with a good experience. The food was okay. The room and continental breakfast were fine.

We visited the Sun Inn for dinner and had amazing and delicious steaks. The atmosphere at the inn was very friendly and welcoming. It is a very successful village pub with loads of activities organised each week. We also enjoyed an informative gin pairing evening at the Sun with tastings of tonics from a company called Double Dutch, formed by a pair of twins from Holland. It was a good paring education for us.

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.

The room was fantastic clean good size the beds were spotless and very comfortable good Continental breakfast we would definitely come back the grounds and garden very tidy very nice garden to sit and relax it was only 15 minutes away from diddly squat farm

The food at the Sun Inn was generally very good and the staff were friendly and efficient. The bathroom in my room was smelly and the extractor noisy. The bed was too soft and I could feel the individual coils in the mattress. The breakfast part of the B&B was a cereal packet in the room which was very disappointing. I had to pay the night before departing because no person able to take payment was in attendance before 10am. It is hte food that has earnt this place a 3 star rather than 1 or 2.

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

Bit of a pin in a map job to meet friends at a half way point. The welcome was superb and the food and service were wonderful. Would thoroughly recommend.

Best lodging in England, located in a delightful and picturesque area, very peaceful. Comfortable room, excellent shower, and impeccable service from all staff. I even forgot a necklace of mine and they are helping me to send it back to me. They are amazing, we will definitely come back! The pub is also a highlight, all dishes and drinks are divine, give them a try!
