In a small, pretty village in the Oxfordshire countryside, just 8 miles (13 km) from Oxford city centre, this former coaching inn offers delicious food, real ales and a charming village atmosphere.
The Bat & Ball Inn has a great bar, with an enormous collection of cricketing memorabilia. With pine tables and flagstone floors, the bar has a cosy and comfortable feel. You can enjoy an excellent selection of hand-pulled ales including LBW, Marston's Pedigree and a weekly changing guest ale.
The restaurant has a great reputation for serving fantastic food, with seasonal menus offering good quality and value for money. The Bat & Ball has appeared in the Good Pub Guide and more recently received an entry in Michelin’s Eating Out In Pubs Guide.
Wi-Fi is available in the bar and restaurant.
All of the rooms have now been sympathetically refurbished in a contemporary style. Each room is named after a famous cricketer and has starched linen bedding, a modern en suite bathroom, an LCD flat-screen TV with digital Freeview channels and solid oak furniture.
