This was a great hotel. The room and bed were huge. Everything was spotless. We travelled by public transport and the hotel was about a 20 minute walk from the station. Although the hotel is not right in the centre, it is only a few minutes from the Head of the River pub and 10 minutes from the Westgate centre. The area is beautiful and very quiet

My family and I came here for the Formula One race and had an outstanding experience. From the moment we arrived there was no hassle. The restaurant food is outstanding, Anna and Bushra went above and beyond to accommodate us, including making food after the restaurant had closed. One of the top places I have stayed in with my family in the UK.

Very clean. Good, quiet location and easy access to the centre of Oxford. We used the park and ride at Redbridge which made it easy to get to the hotel in less than 15 minutes. We found it lacking in useful information on how to use the heating for the living area of the property, The bedroom heating was ok

Our family of 4 stayed at this quaint hotel just outside of downtown Oxford for a night. Rooms were clean and modern and we had dinner and breakfast in the cafe downstairs. The cafe offered excellent food and staff were very professional and friendly. Highly recommended if you want a quite place within walking distance (15 minutes) from the city center.
