Property was great. Welcoming staff, great food. Only slight issue was that Expedia hadn’t communicated with the property about the breakfast inclusion. Not a problem for us, the staff were really helpful, but not great from Expedia.

Disappointing

It's expensive in comparison to other local places to stay. They took a £50 "deposit" supposedly for the mini bar claiming it will only be charged if the minibar is used. But, unlike other hotels who don't process the payment, it has been charged even though the mini bar wasn't used. Unlike other places I've stayed, no reply so far to my message asking where my refund is. ;(

I booked the small room and was surprised how spacious and comfortable it is. It’s a very old building, room is well appointed and incredibly comfortable. Breakfast delivered to room each morning was convenient and delicious.

Good pub and Breaky - not great room

It's a great little country pub. The welcome was warm, and the breakfast was very good. My room was ok (room 5 first floor), the ensuite is small (a larger person would not fit). The bed was creaky and uncomfortable and the noise from the bar is very loud.

The Plough has new management, it is ‘ tired’ but a staff member told us it was going to be renovated. It was super convenient for our needs on this trip. The staff were friendly and attentive. Breakfast was included and a few options were offered.

Excellent place to stay.

Our stay at The Plough was amazing. The room was clean and comfortable, there was a wide range of bar snacks and food. The meal we had at the restaurant, and breakfast were first class. But the most amazing experience was the wonderful service we had from Sean and the rest of the team. It was a brilliant stay and we can't wait to go back.

Lovely place to rest your head

Stayed two nights and enjoyed the magnificent service provided by the staff. They were extremely helpful and nothing was an inconvenience. The room was a good size, with ample facilities, except not enough teabags which was soon rectified. Would definitely recommend.

Great pub, great breakfast. Room quite small and cosy but more than adequate for an overnight stay, plenty of piping hot water, a good shower and big fluffy towels. Both plug sockets either side of the bed also had usb charge points. I would happily stay here again.

Quant wee pub in central location. Only 15min walk to Bicester Outlet Village. Rooms are nicely furnished with great touches like alternative milks. A old character building - The walls are quite thin & the flooring creaks. I missed breakfast so cannot comment on it.

Positive overnight stay.

Although the room was on the small side it still had everything I needed for my stay and there's always the bar downstairs to spend time in. The room was cool both day and night which was great, especially given the really high temperature outside this week. Breakfast was really good and the staff so helpful. I would stay again when I'm in the area next.

Very disappointed.

Room was very tired, tried to be shabby chic, just shabby. When booking the free breakfast was a draw, it turned out to be in a cardboard box in the room, we turned it down. The room was clean and the staff were nice. Not worth the money by a long stretch.
