The inn provides double, twin, triple, and quadruple rooms, each equipped with tea and coffee makers, private bathrooms with showers, and TVs. Leisure activities include darts, squash, and mini-golf, while nearby attractions like Wheatley Birds of Prey Centre (2 km) and Shotover Country Park (3 km) offer outdoor options. The Queens Head is 10 km from the University of Oxford and 70 km from London Heathrow.
