Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is beautifully decorated and trendy, with a fantastic location convenient for Oxford and sights. Although the breakfast setup was disappointing with a tough and cold buffet, the proximity to Bicester Village was a great plus.
I had a really nice stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and relatively clean, although there was some black mold on the bath grouting. They were comfortable and quiet, providing a restful night despite being close to the road. The service was good overall, with helpful staff from the chambermaids to the bar and waiting staff, though some weren't very friendly. The location was just what I needed, easy access to the motorway and surrounding areas while bordering the Chiltern hills. The dining experience was pleasant with a variety of food options. Overall, a decent stay with a few minor issues.
The hotel was conveniently located just a mile from the M40, making it great for travelers in transit. The rooms, however, were very basic and lacked a luxurious feel. The breakfast was a highlight, though, offering an excellent start to the day.
