We had a wonderful stay here. A very nice room, with walkable location and a marvelous breakfast too! The only demerit is the bed which was sagging quite a bit and needs to be replaced. Otherwise, it was a delightful stay for our family of 3.

Lovely hotel in a quiet residential area with Oxford town centre about 30 minute walk away. Staff very friendly & helpful, car park not overly big but hotel will do a parking permit so you can park on the road opposite. Breakfast was very good, plenty of selection & as weather was good we sat in the garden, so quiet, definitely recommend this hotel.

We let reception know we were arriving ahead of check in and when we arrived our room was all ready. The room was spacious and clean, the bed was super comfortable. Although limited time on reception, the staff were so friendly, welcoming and efficient. The breakfast was lovely too. We'd recommend this hotel whole heartedly and would stay there again. Thank you to ALL the staff.
