Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located close to Woodstock and handy for Blenheim Palace, offering simple yet comfortable rooms with helpful adaptations and excellent bedding. The friendly service is attentive, especially when it comes to ensuring guests have a pleasant stay. The dining experience caters to preferences with a willingness to accommodate requests. The facilities are well-suited for a short visit, though improvements could enhance the overall experience.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, while clean and cozy, were a bit cramped for a solo traveler like me. The service was delightful overall, especially during meals, but there were occasions when the staff seemed a bit less accommodating. The location was convenient for exploring Oxford and the surrounding areas, although a bit isolated from attractions and dining options. The dining offered a pleasant start to the day with simple, homemade choices. The facilities were adequate, but nothing extraordinary.
The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms, with easy road access to Oxford and a quiet atmosphere, although some upgrading is needed. The friendly staff works hard to ensure guests feel welcome, though service can be slow at times. The location is excellent for visiting nearby attractions like Blenheim Palace, despite being next to a busy road. The dining options are delicious but not very child-friendly, with a great variety of vegetarian and vegan dishes available.
