Lovely Inn.
Lovely village inn with small but lovely menu (may be small as they have only just been able to open with restrictions). Host was very helpful as were his staff. Room was a nice size (we had opted for an executive room) with plenty of hot water, windows that open (no noise at night) and soft towels. In a very quiet village location, the hotel is well located for sightseeing around the Chilterns. Would certainly recommend it. The only downside would be that it seems to close early so if you like to stay up till late it's probably not for you. It suited us but not everyone wants to be in bed before 11 pm.

Martin and his staff are the most friendly people you can meet. The rooms are excellent and ours had a view across the fields. Breakfast and the other meals were all delicious. Highly recommended, we will return the next time we are in the area.

Great little gem, tucked away...
Rooms clean and comfortable. Owner very friendly and amenable. All the staff gave great service in the bar & restaurant. We had a table of 10 attending the Sunday lunch. Nothing was too much trouble for staff, and the food was great. We will definitely stay again when we next do our cycle tour.

Disappointing sleep in a beautifully located inn
Stay was just OK. Main disappointment was the nights sleep. The bed was uncomfortable due to uneven firmness and sound of springs when moving in bed. Very flat pillows. The room was quite small without hooks on backs of doors for (wet)coats and bath towels or sufficient shelve space for toilet bags. Could not use toilet without having to wedge leg against the side of the bath. Breakfast buffet was OK and hot food OK without excelling, e.g. mushrooms pretty watery an tasteless. All in all disappointing, will not be staying here again, definitely not worth £109.00

Quiet Country Retreat
Stayed here while doing 2 stages of the Ridgeway nearby. Quiet and pretty location at the end of a country lane. Friendly staff and good food in a nice atmosphere. Rooms were clean & comfortable and ours had a proper bath (appreciated after 20 miles walking!). Some nice outside seating and plenty of secure parking. We would return if in the area again.

Luxury on a walking holiday
Three of us were walking the Ridgeway Trail and stopped at the Peacock. While apparently expensive, this is a superbly run inn and worth the premium - you also get a better deal if you book directly! The bar is pleasant, the food is good, the staff are friendly and efficient, and the rooms are really comfortable. everything about the place is a tribute to the care of the proprietor.

Not a country inn at all, cheap motel instead
The restaurant is a country inn but the rooms are modern but not good modern, shower ran cold both times after two minutes, they look like cheap motel rooms. The wifi was fast though and reliable, the staff were were helpful and pleasant. The restaurant has hardly any people in for a Saturday night. I used to go there in the 80's and it was always packed then I didn't know this from the Expedia booking but all the downstairs rooms are dog friends and I'm allergic so spent most of the night wheezing. Not the hotels fault though, their website did make that clear but I booked through Expedia. The room wasn't hot but because it was on the ground floor I didn't feel safe sleeping with the window open.

dissapointing country inn.
very pleasant location,quiet area close to Aylesbury. Having just stayed at the Doubletree by Hilton in Greenwich for a very similar price the Peacock was a letdown, rooms not very inviting, poor shower and could have been cleaner. Evening meal just satisfactory, breakfast good,Overall very mediocre.

Don't overestimate
The expression 'Country Inn' summons up all sorts of images, mostly appealing ones of cosy nooks and architectural interest, lovely scenery and something individual, quirky and warmly welcoming. The Peacock really doesn't live up to this notion. Clean, comfortable enough and generally ok, the accommodation is not in beamed rooms with interesting features, but a purpose-built bungalow made with very thin walls and rather cramped rooms. The pictures of the bar area suggest idyllic English pubbery, but they are very misleading; just as the breakfast was just like every other hotel breakfast in the world - small cartons of cereal, jugs of fruit juice, dull toast and sachet's of marmalade - so was the rest of the stay. Only slightly colder, damper and less satisfying. At least if you stay in a Travelodge, you know what to expect, and you get it. Staying here felt like a Travelodge experience without the economic benefit and with the aftertaste of disappointment.

This is an excellent value-for-money hotel in a quiet location. The room was not huge but big enough, quite recently refitted and well appointed with a nice bathroom. The food is good too. Highly recommended and would certainly go again.

The Peacock, Henton - countryside comfort
This out of the way hotel is ideal for getting into Aylesbury, Haddenham, etc, and was for me a really comfortable place to stay. The room was small but spotless, and the restaurant downstairs notable for its lack of piped music and perfectly kept real ale. The food was what you'd expect in a 'pub' but good value and well cooked, service was excellent and fast. For the price this has to be a first choice for the area.

2* so rooms are basic rather than boutique - but comfortable, decent shower, welcoming staff and a good breakfast. Further from Oxford than the cheap chain alternative - hence the location score - but worth the detour.

Als je denkt alles te hebben gezien....
De Peacock Hotel is een waar eldorado! Aan het eind van een landweg vind je een droom van een cottage, met uitzicht op verre velden en een serene rust. Vlak bij Oxford, Waterputty tuinen, wandegebied, en nog veel meer moois. Een gezellige pub en een super heerlijk restaurant. Een bezoek meer dan waard!
