Staff great, especially Wendy at breakfast...... We dined in 2 of the nights and the meals were lovely amd reasonably priced. The hotel is looking a little tired in places now and our room was noisy with the aircon units outside the window R 215. Lack of constant staff presence at the bar to order drinks and food sometimes meant a wait. Or asking at reception.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Staff were exceptional, especially Malcolm on the front desk. We were a little underwhelmed by our premium price room (in the annex) however, especially as this was booked to celebrate our 20th Anniversary. It didn’t look like the room in the photos and was a little strangely laid out - all nice and clean however. We ate in the on-site restaurant which was fab, breakfast was a buffet which was just OK and rather over-priced

Nice modern hotel, easy reach of Oxford

Only stayed for 1 night as visiting Oxford. Walked by the river into Oxford (25 mins), £9 taxi back. Very clean modern hotel, very nice rooms. Good bar and separate restaurant, tho you can eat in the bar (lots of tables). Great staff. Drinks and food were very good. Lots of parking, easy to find.

Ok stay in Oxford

Stayed in Elm house at the end of the drive away from the main hotel. The building smelt of dogs and the room was fine. Aircon was noisy. On arrival I was put in a standard double despite booking a king but this was rectified then I contacted reception
