Stayed in one of the four outside bedroom, whilst okay, the bathroom needs an overhaul. Bedroom was comfortable albeit cobwebs on the lights above the bed.

What a lovely find in proximity to our Oxford holiday! Cumnor is conveniently quiet to the hustle and bustle of Oxford. The room was spacious and welcoming, hotel staff were excellent, and meals there were quite satisfying!

Excellent stay at The Bear and Ragged Staff!
The whole experience was awesome. Clean throughout, the most friendly staff, gorgeous food and excellent drinks menu. Pub/restaurant is very comfortable and tastefully decorated. Dog friendly. Beautiful surroundings in a quiet little village. Easy access to main tourist hotspots. Definitely planning a second visit for next year.
