Gardeners Retreat - (Near Oxfordshire, South East)

Julie Jacobsen My family and I visited the Cotswolds from the United States back in June 2025, and while I’m a bit late in posting this, the experience was so exceptional I had to share. We were searching for the quintessential English pub experience, and we found it here. We loved it so much we actually returned a second time for dinner. The food was absolutely delicious, but what truly set this place apart was the hospitality. Guy, the owner, is perhaps the warmest and friendliest person we met on our travels. He took the time to sit with us and chat about our trip, making us feel like locals rather than tourists. If you want authentic charm and a genuine welcome, this is the place to be!

SJ A Our second visit to The Wild Rabbit was a perfect weekend break. Staying in one of the dog friendly cottage’s and dining in the restaurant (without the dogs). Service and welcome was impeccable. The food absolutely delicious. Wine list is very impressive too. It’s fast becoming one of our favourite weekend getaways. Thank you all for having us.

Harry Ring Have eaten here a few times now and always really enjoyed it. The food has always been perfect and staff are lovely. Its usually quite busy - I guess its popular with people staying at the Heythrop hotel as its the closest pub - but its never heaving. Id say you still need to book, but thats the norm for pubs round here now .

T Sarris We took a day trip to Charlbury and found this pub. Walking through the doors was magical. The rooms are cozy and there are several fireplaces to keep you warm. The atmosphere was incredible. Instantly we were welcomed by a delightful server (wish I’d gotten his name- I’d give him a shout out) he was darling and kind and attentive. Made us feel welcomed! The food was absolutely amazing and delicious! The rump was so tasty!! This place is definitely worth the trip! Highly recommend! And don’t forget to have the sticky toffee pudding. It was so good!!

Patryk Omieczyński One of the best pizzas we have ever eaten. The dough is as soft as a cloud. Very tender and fluffy. In the place it is made you wouldnt expect something this good. Fully deserving of their rating. Just 11/10 !

Ashley Thompson We went to the Tite Inn for Sunday dinner and had a really lovely time. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the pub is set in such a beautiful, peaceful area. The food was great, and my partner and I both really enjoyed our meals. A really nice place to relax and enjoy a cosy Sunday meal — would definitely recommend!
