The Oxford Coach and Horses
This owner-run establishment trades on Sylvia's warm, hands-on hospitality and home-cooked breakfasts rather than architectural charm, creating an intimate, personally-tended refuge that feels more like staying with a thoughtful friend than a hotel, though the motel-style rooms and main-road location prevent it from reaching the deeper cosiness of a characterful period property.
