Head Of The River

The Head of the River offers individually decorated bedrooms, with some rooms providing river views from the banks of the River Thames. Select rooms include bathrobes and slippers alongside private modern bathrooms and flat-screen TVs. The inn provides access to boat hire for cruises and punting trips directly from the hotel, plus a riverside terrace for outdoor relaxation.

Each morning, guests receive a hearty cooked breakfast that uses local produce and seasonal ingredients. The evening menu continues this focus on local sourcing, while the bar offers a rotating selection of real ales, cocktails, and craft beers. A 15% discount on dinner bills is extended to hotel guests dining on-site.

The hotel is a 10-minute walk from Oxford University Colleges, including Christ Church and the Bodleian Library. The Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology sits within a 15-minute stroll, and the Oxford city centre shops and theatres are reachable on foot in under 10 minutes. A park-and-ride bus stop is located two minutes away for access to the train station.

Upon arrival, dogs receive a complimentary bed, water bowl, and treats in the guest room. Pet bowls are available on request, and the pub's riverside beer garden welcomes dogs throughout the year. The hotel's on-site bar also offers a selection of dog-friendly amenities for four-legged guests.
