Welcome To Sturdys

Sturdy's Castle Country Inn is is a beautiful 400-year-old coaching inn located between the West Oxfordshire villages of Tackley and Kidlington and a stone's throw from Woodstock and Blenheim Palace. It is an ideal place for travelers to dine, rest and explore the many local attractions and beauty spots that the area has to offer. Here at Sturdy's, we offer our guests comfortable quality accommodation and a friendly and relaxing venue in which to enjoy a drink with friends and family. The food offering at Sturdy's is traditional pub classics fayre. Historically know as the "Spud Pub" we still cook great jacket potatoes as well as top quality local steaks & grills and a modern menu.

Sturdy's Castle is close to the many of Oxfordshire's delightful tourist attractions. Situated just outside of Kidlington on the A4260 Oxford to Banbury Road, Sturdy's Castle sits at the gateway to the Cotswolds, boasting some of Britain's most beautiful countryside, towns and villages. Blenheim Palace, the ancestral home of Winston Churchill, can be found less than 3 miles away in the charming market town of Woodstock, and the famous dreaming spires of the internationally renowned university city of Oxford are also a mere 9.5 miles away.
