"Room name “Oxford”. Rooms fixtures/fitting and decorating was lovely. Calling it a “superior room” for me was stretching it purely down to the small size of the room. Reception on my the tv was pretty bad, making the tv irritating to watch. Plus the usb sockets by the kettle don't work. Pub is a stunningly beautiful "
