We are located in the village of Middle Barton...close to main routes and well placed so you can unwind following a day out exploring the City of Oxford, visiting Blenheim Palace in Woodstock or enjoying the lovely Cotswold villages. Or simply to stay over following a delicious meal downstairs in our lovely Lebanese restaurant!
The building itself is a beautiful 16th century thatched pub with a large inglenook fireplace. It is a lovely village pub, part brick and painted white on two storeys.
The pub was formerly known as the Carpenters Arms (or The Carps) for many years, but it was initially called Fleur de Lys and was recorded by this name in 1774 (although the original building is probably much older than 1774).
B&B Rooms:
The gold bedroom is in the old part of the building to the front and is part of a suite; a double room with a single room opposite it; both overlooking the car park and road. A bathroom is next to the single room and serves both the double and single room (perfect for 2 or 3 people travelling together). It is cosy with low ceilings and shows the historical side of the property. The bathroom has a bath with a shower over it.
The silver bedroom is in the newer part of the property and overlooks the rear garden; a double room with an en-suite (which has a large shower enclosure). It is spacious with high ceilings and no ducking required for those of us who are taller!
