The Harcourt Arms

Beautiful room, very comfy bed and amazing shower. Lovely little touches, well thought out and classy decor. Yummy breakfast and had lunch too which was delicious. I love the style of Harcourt Arms , it’s got that traditional setting very well renovated . Will definitely stay again .

Great food, rooms and service. Lovely friendly pub with guest rooms, the staff are so helpful yet professional. Dogs are allowed which is very relaxing. The whole place is very well decorated and furnished with a beer garden and ample parking.

We obviously did not pick the right week! During booking we were quizzed, several times, on the fact that my husband and I were happy for our 18 year old son to share the family room with us. Which we assured them we were. On arrival we were taken up to the family room to be shown one double bed. When we questioned the lady who showed is the room we were told that they were not aware of the fact there were 3 of us, no problem, the bed in the wall is always made up, so just needed pulling out! We went down to dinner at our booked time ........ an hour later we were still waiting our starters (despite the fact that an obvious 'regular' couple came in much later and got starters and mains before any of the patrons who has been patiently waiting got theirs! When someone queried how they managed to get served so quickly they responded that they were nice to the staff. No one in that pub was rude at any time to the poor waitress who was in tears, quite the contrary, we were consoling her. We eventually got our mains a good 2 hours after ordering. The food was lovely, but as we were so hungry, we were not able to appreciate it. We were given the meal on the house. Unfortunately, it turned out to be the monthly quiz night while we were there. The pub was taken over, we were put in the dining room, not as grand as it sounds, we were definitely the forgotten ones, service was very sporadic and people left standing around waiting to be seated. Again, food was great. Overall a lovely place, reviews are great, we were obviously unlucky. Definitely worth a try.

We often go out for a Sunday roast in West Oxfordshire, and yesterday we found a real gem - Harcourt Arms. It is the best Sunday roast we’ve had for a long time, simply delicious and plenty of it. It includes all the sides and lots of a devine gravy. My boy had a brownie & ice cream, which was also incredible. Highly recommend this place and we will be back in March. They also had a 0.5% beer on draught, volt and it was lovely, very similar to a full alcoholic pint.

Excellent stay from the moment we arrived until we left (2 nights). Very comfortable and quiet. Our room was warm even though it was minus 6 outside! Very good breakfast choices and evening meals. Particularly enjoyed the avocado and eggs breakfast and the steak frites dinner. Highly recommend.

We went to The Harcourt Arms for Sunday lunch and it was excellent, so would highly recommend this place. Each course was outstanding, and the menu provided enough options for both vegetarians and meat eaters without being overwhelming. All of the dishes we had were delicious and clearly freshly prepared in the kitchens. The service was attentive and friendly and they have a great selection of beers and wines. It was so nice to get out of Oxford city centre and in only 20 minutes arrive at this welcoming and cosy traditional pub where the fires were burning. We will be back soon.
