Doors have reopened at the historic Red Lion in Adderbury near Banbury following the six-figure makeover.
Greene King, which owns the pub, says the changes have carefully blended the historic charm of the coaching inn with some modern-day comforts.
The watering hole has an enviable location in the heart of the village on the green, and the latest works, inside and out, have boosted its appeal further.

Great care has been taken to retain all the character of the 17th-century inn, adding complementary décor, flooring, furnishings and lighting.
The toilets have also benefitted from a refurbishment, while the outside has been refreshed to add to its appeal with thoughtful planting, décor, lighting and signage.
Speaking after the official reopening, Daniel Anderson, general manager of The Red Lion, said: “It is something of an honour to be part of the next chapter of this amazing coaching inn which has such a long history and is so well regarded.
“There have been some carefully planned works to make this wonderful inn even better and cosier.
