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.

The staff in the pub were nice and friendly. My husband and I stayed here overnight for a trip to the local brewery, we had a bite to eat before our tour, which was very nice, we checked in around 4.30 pm, we were shown to our room which was very small, the mattress on the bed in room 2 is seriously passed its sell by date, it was really soft and you could hear and feel the springs, I really should have asked if we could change rooms, we had dinner in the evening, the pub was busy, the menu was a bit limited and by 6.30 pm there was no pie of the day left, my husband chose chicken thighs wrapped in pancetta with an onion sauce, unfortunately he found it too salty, when he mentioned it to our waitress she said she didn't like it either!! the fish and chips I had were ok, usual stuff, our starter and dessert were nice. After a poor night's sleep we went into breakfast, ( breakfast didn't start till 9.00 am) we were shown to a table and offered the menu, we were not offered any fruit or orange juice, we ordered coffee and our breakfast order arrived, my scrambled egg was salty, my husband asked for eggs on toast, the eggs and toast came separate, he was then offered some butter, I asked for some brown toast, both the toasts were only done on one side, we also had to ask for some brown sauce and some jam for the toast, these were brought to us when requested but if should be offered really, there was small cartons of orange juice in our room and were were told there was yogurt and milk etc., in a small fridge at the bottom of the stairs from the bar to help ourselves but this was not really acceptable ( how people ate continental breakfast in the room was a mystery there was no room to sit and eat) sorry but overall it was a very disappointing stay, some upgrading is seriously required.

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.
