The Queens Head, Horspath, Oxfordshire

Sam from Customer Service, May 2023

What did your experience entail?
For this experience I attended my Two Night Stay at The Queens Head, Horspath, this location is a village pub, based in the lovely village of Horspath. Check in was from 12pm which was lovely as we had extra time to spend getting settled in and planning our weekend. When we arrived, we were shown to our room by the friendly staff and given all the information we needed. The room was the perfect size for two people, we had a double bed downstairs and there was also a single bed upstairs. We also had a kettle, tea and coffee and some snacks waiting for us when we arrived. Throughout the weekend the staff at the pub were very friendly, they wrote us a list of things to do in the area as we were not familiar with where we were, they were always checking to ensure we had everything we needed and we felt very comfortable.
What did you enjoy the most?
There were lots of great parts to this experience, the weather was lovely so we took full advantage of the pub garden. As well as this the area we stayed in was very quiet and relaxing however only a short drive away from restaurants and bars.

The Alcester inn is a basic bed and breakfast with its own sports bar attached. I can't fault the hotel because it fully met my expectations. I'd be happy to return. Booking through Activity Superstore was a complete pain, time consuming aggravation, so I'm not doing that again.
