The name of the hotel has an unusual origin. Traditionally, the University of Oxford allowed their students to stable horses, but not the dogs. With nowhere else to house the animals, the proprietor of the local inn offered an invaluable dog-sitting service and the venue became known as the Dog House.

We live in ireland and travel over to the uk 4/5 times every year to visit family and tend to always stay in the big chains, but we came across the dog house online that had vacancies so we booked. So glad we did, the staff could not do enough for us, so friendly and welcoming especially simon. We will definitely book there again

Award-winning ales are on offer in the bar, and guests can choose from a traditional British food menu for lunch and dinner. In the morning, you can enjoy a full English or continental breakfast, with vegetarian options also available.

We stayed here to visit Oxford and Cotswolds, and this place is made for it! Very close to Oxford, just couple minutes drive to Park&ride there. And very beautiful Cotswold towns are also close and convenient to rich. We got the room on 1st floor, really nice and cosy, our dog loved low floor window he could watch who goes in the street. Excellent food and drinks in the bar, and we were very pleased with real fireplace - it was rainy cold weather outside.

Just a few minutes’ walk from Oxford city centre, the Head of the River is situated on the banks of the scenic River Thames. This traditional inn features a riverside terrace and a stylish restaurant.

The elegant bedrooms are individually decorated, and some have river views. All rooms feature a TV and a private modern bathroom with free toiletries. Guests will find bathrobes and slippers in some rooms.

We expected that the hotel would be quite noisy, especially as we had a room beside the beer garden and close to the road. However this was never an issue. We also thought the hotel may have been a bit far from the High street, but it was an easy walk to all the tourist attractions. And to stroll along the river was quite idyllic.
