The Bear Inn, Oxford
What the experts agree on
Historic Oxford pub beloved for its character and stories, serving seasonal produce from an estate garden. Best for drinks and casual meals rather than fine dining.
"For anyone wanting to see an ancient pub, with history and stories galore, quirks and decent pints this is the Oxford pub for you. Come for drink and a chat, and stay for food." Full review
"12 folk-inspired bedrooms by the interior designer Octavia Dickinson, seven above the pub and five in the coach house. On the menu are fruit and vegetables grown in Hodnet Hall’s walled garden"
