The Old Court Hotel

a relaxed atmosphere, great food and stylish surroundings

 The Old Court Hotel dates back to the early 1800s and takes its name from the Old Court house which was located opposite. The lawyers and their (sometimes nefarious) clients would meet to discuss proceedings in the inn before going to court. This is celebrated by the Old Court’s sign which depicts a running lawyer clutching his papers.

The Old Court Hotel is well sited as a base for touring the ancient towns and villages of the Cotswolds. Magnificent Blenheim Palace in Woodstock, with spectacularly beautiful grounds designed by Capability Brown, is only a few miles away, as are the dreaming spires of Oxford. Travel just a bit further and you can brush up your Shakespeare in Stratford. Witney itself is an interesting old market town famed for its blankets. The town boasts a leisure centre, golf course, football and rugby clubs and the unique Cogges Farm Museum.

The Old Court Hotel has turned over a new leaf. ALL our rooms have been refurbished to a high standard, with easy on the eye tasteful decor, with well placed mixture of modern and antique furniture to give our rooms a warm homely feel.

Good food is our passion. Only fresh, seasonal ingredients make it onto the menu with fish and local steak a specialty. Whether you are popping in for a simple light lunch, planning a big celebration, you can choose from mouth-watering classics to virtuoso specialties like our Thursday Thai night from our inspired chef.
