After a long period of closure, the Tower reopened in June 2024 on a four days per week basis. There are two handpumps, food is served and three bedrooms now offer B & B.

There has been much sprucing up of the building. The main bar retains a very traditional feel but now has a new mirrored ceiling and floral wallpaper. The historic features have been retained.

To the rear is an attractively decorated dining room and a small meeting room.

One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest

Listed status: Not listed

A small hotel built 1903 in typical Edwardian-style, with an angular corner tower. The public bar is still intact, retaining its simple counter and plain, four-bay gantry with large areas of mirrors and several drawers for cash and small items. Features include a vestibule entrance, stained and leaded pictorial front windows, contemporary fireplace and half-height panelling with vertical moulding. The lounge and dining room have no old fittings. Update 2024 : the pub re-opened in June 2024 after being closed for five years. Thankfully, the historic features in the bar have been retained. There has been a general (and much-needed) spucing up and a new ceiling with mirrored panels has been installed.

Community Supported

July 2022 Oxton Community Development Limited (a Community Benefit Society) currently operates the Oxton Community Shop. They were also exploring making a bid to buy, however the pub was sold to a couple who wish to run it as a pub/hotel etc.

The Oxton Community Development Limited continues to support the pub and the new owners.

See Facbook page for more details.
