Maywynne Verified guest review

Positive Excellent location with lovely outdoor patio overlooking the river. Hospitality was welcoming and helpful. The pub backs onto a peaceful riverside walking path and it’s short walk to everything Oxford has to offer. Generous breakfast included. Something for everyone. Dinner at the pub was convenient after a long day of travelling.
