Second time staying here and standard has dropped significantly since our last stay just 13 months ago. Air con did not work sufficiently, tv did not work and were moved to an alternate room. Bed and pillows were stiff and not feel luxurious. Parking is no longer an option at the property and when we called the staff only offered the hospital car park as an alternate. Room smelt like cigarettes. Very sad because our last stay was wonderful. Sadly will not return.

I had an excellent stay at Oxford House last weekend. The rooms, although small, are very thoughtfully laid out. I booked the smallest room, which was fine for 1 person or a couple, but opt for a larger room if a couple of friends are sharing. My room was located at the back of the hotel away from the main road and away from the pool. Although I could hear some people in the hallway before I went to bed and after I woke up, it was quite quiet. The pool was lovely, and I used this a couple of times during my stay. Easily getting a spot both times. The pool bar was busy both times as had great atmosphere. Especially on the Sunday during the bottomless lunch when there was a DJ. Overall, very happy with my stay here. I would recommend this hotel.

The hotel was in a great location and stylish however the lack of storage in rooms was glaring. Furthermore, the building seemed to leak considerably during a brief rain show that meant buckets were placed across the building.

Security of bags being kept by staff prior to check in was concerning. I tried to check in at 1:45pm (15 minutes prior to the check in time) and the room was still not ready. When I returned to check in at 5:45pm, my bags were still left in the lobby and not in our room.
