I've stayed in this hotel before, but it seems to have had a management change (no longer Mercure). I reported a few issues: such as there being no milk in the room, the shower dispensers being empty and the wifi not working. Also, the cleaning staff entered the room before I'd checked out. I believe all of these are easily fixable with staff training. I hope to return.

As at Jan 15th 2024 the hotel has just been refurbished - only one week reopened. Excellent welcome, really goof breakfast, lovely staff. My room was very quiet, comfortable, good shower, though could have been a tad stronger. Only downside for me was the lack of Wifi out of the bar and breakfast area (i.e. not in my room - a disappointment tent, as I'd intended to do some work in prep for the next day). Careful driving needed through the passage to the parking area - only just enough clearance for a Qashqai - proximity alarms on most of the way through. The hotel is pleasant though, and right next to the Cross that features in the nursery rhyme! I wish them all the best in getting re-established: they're well placed as a base for anyone wanting to visit all sorts of attractiopmns, be it Oxford, Warwick, Coventry, Silverstone, Bicester, the Cotswolds, and they've even got a railway connection that'll take you into London or Birmingham.
