Stayed for 2 nights and wow what a lovely place.
We were made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived.
The restaurant/pub food is absolutely delicious and the breakfast equally so.
Met two female housemaids and they were so lovely and friendly it made our stay so much more comfortable.
Would highly recommend staying at Sturdys castle when visiting Oxford or the surrounding area.

Overall very pleased with stay. Rooms were well above average. However I must have missed in the description that it is motel type accommodation in a seperate block. I would have enjoyed a hotel lounge to sit with friends after the very good meal.
