I've been coming to the Brasenose for five years now and I count it as one of my favourite pubs in the world. The building itself is steeped in hundreds of years of history, and the village of Cropredy is a beautiful and peaceful place to chill. This is the pub most closely associated with Fairport Convention, and is featured... More

The best that can be said is that the Landlord & staff are friendly. The room was very small, the shower room even smaller. The quilt was wrapped in two sheets rather than a cover, the pillows were like lead weights, no headboard, bedside light didn't work, extractor fan in shower room stopped working. On arrival a pot of tea... More

Although somewhat rural and rustic the Brasenose is a B & B worth recommending. The staff were polite, amenable, cheerful and nothing was too much trouble for them to do. The food was excellent ( The breakfast was to die for ). The liquid refreshment ( although some offerings were not available during the visit ) was top quality, including... More

As a traveling musician, I stay in a huge variety of places from squats to 5* Hotels. I can honestly say that The Brasenose is one of my favourite places to play and stay. It's clean, welcoming and has a great atmosphere. The beer is well kept and the food is fantastic (dinner and breakfast). The patrons are incredibly friendly... More

We have visited The Brasenose several times before as a meeting place and during the Fairport Convention Cropredy Music Festival, but this was the first time I had stayed overnight. As usual, the staff were friendly and welcoming, the food lovely, the atmosphere warm and relaxing. The live music in the bar was fab, and although it was still playing... More

We continue to have great evenings at this local music venue and dining pub, which I can imagine makes a brilliant b n b too as long as you don't want to retire to bed too early when the bands are playing! Food exceeds expectations for the type of establishment and the fairly basic homely surroundings, with good portions. The... More

The Brasenose looks like 3 old cottages knocked into one pub. I love the decor, which is shabby chic with idiosyncratic touches. Our bed had thick cotton sheets, and we both slept like tops, helped by the excellent Hooky beer and a good long walk along the canal. The breakfast sausages deserve a special mention, and the food is good... More

My husband and I recently booked all rooms at the Brasenose for our wedding party, as we were married in Cropredy. All the guests loved their stay and many want to go back, the accommodation was clean and well looked after and everyone commented on how good the breakfasts were. Especially the sausages! It was great that the grooms-party were... More

I went with low expectations having heard that the Brasenose was now more of a music venue than an eating place, but I was proved wrong on every count. Busy lively dining room, excellent friendly service and a Sunday lunch as good any I have any I have ever had ( and I have had a few, including my own... More
