The Sun Inn at Hook Norton
Banbury|3.16km from Waterfowl Sanctuary & Childrens Farm
Set in the beautiful village of Hook Norton just 6 miles from Jeremy Clarkson’s Diddley Squat farm shop is The Sun Inn. The quintessential English pub. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms are very presentable and at £99 per night inc breakfast with an Oxford postcode I was impressed.! The refreshments in the room are superb, oat bars, croissants, muffins, cereals, cartons of juice, fresh milk, fruit, bottled water, coffee….. you’re lucky to get 2 biscuits in a pack at most places. Dump the bags, and down for some pre dinner drinks, a vast array of wines, spirits, mainstream beers and ciders and the local ipa, bitter etc. After sampling the beers and Sauvignon Blanc it was dinner, a great selection on the menu, and from the meals we picked all were fantastically cooked and presented. A few more after dinner drinks and its ready for bed. I did notice in the bathroom 3 packs of ear plugs, initially I thought it was for ladies who didn’t want to find themselves woken up by their husbands snoring…. Unfortunately the pub stays open later than usual and you can hear the joviality quite easily, not a major problem, I soon got back off……. Time to get up for breakfast, ouch ! Our mattress really could do with replacing! Its like sleeping on a bag of broken spanners, the shower is “interesting” oh and please have a word with the cleaner, I really shouldn’t be expected to clean dried poop from the pan left by the previous occupants!! Down we go to chose from the 7 or so options the English breakfast which is equally as delightful as the evening food, so can’t fault the food and service. Overall I’m very impressed with the sun inn. I’d definitely go back, and the only 2 criticisms are, the mattress and the poop. 
Excellent
