Staff were lovely, very friendly and attentive. Easy to communicate with. Cody Okde Worlde type pub with exposed beams, partial thatched roof as well as tiled. Rooms were across a courtyard. Pub was very quiet when we arrived (about 2100). Large Carpark situated across the road.

Talkhouse is 15 mins from Oxford and we arrived in bad weather, room and pub very cost and staff are outstanding..so great. If there's any negative, I think cleaning details like corner, ledges, handles need attention, and an entrance may as it's an outside chalet.breakfast great and it's stay again.. it feels good to be there.

Bit of room to improve here, to charge the rate paid (£118).
The floors weren’t clean, and the decorating very tired - lots of messy paint, rusty radiator, and mucky old window in the shower room.
I will highlight the very comfortable bed & quality bedding as the best aspect of our stay! But cleaning the floors (and toilet) between guests is essential.

Checked in after a day out, sadly the bar area and restaurant was cold although heating was on, we were shown to our room which had an overpowering smell of lavender, assume cleaning products (so good sign), room was cosy with standard size bed & good powerful shower but no hot water from sink tap.
Our food from the restaurant was tasty.
During the night we found the room to be noisy from other guests using bathrooms etc or coming and going as no sound proofing in place.
Staff were friendly.
Free car parking across the road and good location for several attractions in the area.

The room was cosy and tidy, with a lovely blanket and felt quite fresh. The bed was a standard double size, which fit the room well. The staff were friendly and very helpful, they let me use their charger when i forgot mine. The food was delicious and good sized portions (the chocolate fudge cake was huge! Could have been a bit warmer, but very tasty all the same!) The bar was pretty and comfortable and the breakfast was freshly cooked and of ample portio s, plus cereals and toast available in addition to the full english. It was a lovely stay and i would go there again if i am in the area.

Nice room and outdoor space for a picnic and a drink from the bar. Nice village and countryside.
Continental breakfast was disappointing.
Fire alarm at 7am was a surprise!

The pub itself was very quaint but there was so much wrong with the room and service that I really don't know where to start!
The room was very small and musty smelling. It opened on to the beer garden but the window had no net curtains or privacy glass, so the only way to get privacy was to close the main curtains with a 10watt bulb in the ceiling.
There was no wardrobe or chest of drawers, just a black wrought iron clothes rail with a knob which was perfectly positioned at eye-level!
The worse part was that the whole place felt grubby, grimy and dirty. I've never seen such cheap, thin, degrained bed sheets and the pillows were also lumpy and disgusting. We decided to sleep on top of the bed rather than get inside!
I knocked a tin of drink off the bedside table, mopped it up then used a wetted bath mat to clean the floor… the bathmat turned black with grime off the flooring!
The bathroom was also musty and the extractor fan had a mesh over it which was full of dead wasps/insects! The towels were an off-white, creamy-grey colour and stained in several places.
I wish I had more room here to write everything i wanted to cover.
The only positive thing I can say about The Talkhouse is that the staff in the pub were very friendly.
In summary, a quaint country pub with dirty, grubby rooms and zero customer service. Obviously, we'd never stay here again.

We were staying over night for a hospital appointment early the next morning.
Sadly there was a power cut a couple of hours after arrival, I understand this was not the fault of the owners, however it left us with no light, heating, hot water, power. We had to move hotels (at our own additional expense) as the power was not due to return until the early hours of the morning, a 12 hour outage I believe it was. The manager said he was unable to authorise a refund and the owner outright refused. Told us to get a refund from the power company. An awful, rude, unkind man named Nick, who clearly needs the £62 more than us. Would not recommend this hotel or any others under the Duvall inns brand, wouldn’t give that man another penny of my money!!!! I will also add I was poorly and expected to stay in a room with no heating or hot water for the night

The wall finishes in the bathroom in particular a bit tired. A bit damp with mould on the ceiling. Needs better ventilation.

The worst bedding I have ever had. Lumpy thin pillows and duvet and cheap feeling linen. The room smelt of damp and they had tried to mask it with an air freshner. The room looked tired and in need of a refresh. The rooms were in an outbuilding located around a beer garden which in the summer i image would be very noisy if busy. The walls of the room were very thin and we were woken by a loud noise every time our neighbour used the toilet or sink. This is an honest review that I am sad to leave as the service and staff were so nice. The hotel itself is a pretty country pub serving very good food. They just need to work on making the guests stay more comfortable. Just for the record, i am not an over picky person.
