The Queens Head - A 3-star inn with a wood-fired pizza restaurant and proximity to Oxford

The Queens Head features a restaurant serving freshly made artisan pizzas cooked in a wood-fired oven at 290°, alongside seriously tasty beers, including new brews from Brewpoint. Guests can choose from shared starters, pizza mains, and classic traditional puds, with weekday lunch deals offering a 9" pizza and soft drink for £5. 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.

Pros
