The Highwayman Hotel - A traditional English pub with guest rooms, canal-side views, and live folk music
The Highwayman Hotel, a 3-star guest house, features en-suite rooms with garden or Oxford Canal views, whirlpool baths in select rooms, and free Wi-Fi. A full English breakfast is served in the bar area, while the restaurant offers traditional home-cooked meals and a selection of real ales. The hotel hosts live folk music sessions every Friday evening. Located in Kidlington, often called the largest village in England, it provides free overnight moorings for canal visitors and is a 10-minute drive from Woodstock and Blenheim Palace. Oxford, with its prestigious universities and landmarks like Carfax Tower, is 9.7 km away.
Pros
The Oxford Canal runs adjacent to the property, offering scenic walks and free overnight moorings.
Live folk music sessions are held every Friday evening in the pub.
Rooms include whirlpool baths or walk-in showers, with garden or canal views.
Traditional home-cooked meals and a selection of real ales are available in the bar.
Cons
The hotel does not have an on-site spa or fitness facilities.
Some rooms are accessed via external doors from the car park.
“In Kidlington, this inn strikes a balance between value and a relaxed atmosphere. The staff earn high praise for hospitality, and many rooms are generously sized. A canalside garden and accessible location near Oxford add to its appeal.”
