This was the first time staying here, rooms are large and clean with comfy beds but when we arrived in the early evening the room was quite cold and even after turning up the heat it didn't seem to do much. During the night while in bed the heating seem to come on and really warm the room up, not really the time it is needed..Overall it was a good stay

Great overnight stay, the staff are brilliant, the food was lovely and the all around ambience was relaxing and beautiful. Loved every minute, the hotel is great and would thoroughly recommend them.

The hotel is very quiet, if thats what you are seeking, you'll be in luck. It has a good location just of the M40 junction, but you would never know it, very handy for the villages and towns within a reasonable distance We knew the hotel well beforehand and have stayed in the past, it's fine, more of a 'wedding type' venue with little to no vibe, but thats fine, lots of parking and EV chargers, good access to Thame, Stockenchurch, Chinnor and Watlington.

Stayed one night. Chose this hotel for its convenient location, between Oxford and Windsor. Reasonably priced so didn’t expect luxury. Basic rooms and acceptable food options. Rooms could have had heating on prior to our arrival, but warmed up quickly once adjusted.
