We had such a lovely stay at this clean and friendly hotel. Breakfast was superb and the staff amazing. The hotel is ideally situated with free car parking and a few minutes walk to the bus stop where regular buses took you into Oxford. We dined in the restaurant of an evening and had well cooked meals. Service was a little slow but worth the wait. We would highly recommend and would love to visit again.

We were there during a heat wave and it was lovely to have a room with air conditioning! The staff was incredibly accomodating (thank you for being so sweet, Jasmine!), and the breakfast was lovely and suitable for guests with food allergies. The hotel's tailor theme is quite charming, and their location is away from the business of downtown Oxford. We took the bus into town when we needed to go there, which was quick and convenient. Even though the hotel was at full capacity when we stayed, our room was completely quiet.
