Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a quiet and pretty place with friendly staff. The rooms were spacious, clean, and very comfortable, although a bit stark at the back facing the road. The dining experience was average with overcooked food, but the delicious bubble and squeak was a highlight. The location is serene and lovely despite needing a paint touch-up on the front.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were clean but needed updating and overlooked an unsightly outside staff area. The service was friendly, though there were some issues with rushing and food quality. The location was inviting, but there were language barriers. The dining experience had its shortcomings, but the breakfast was good. Overall, the hotel just needed some improvements to elevate the experience.
The hotel is located in a stunning country area near Abingdon, offering a great outdoor space and easy access to Oxford and designer outlet village. The rooms overlook the gardens, with a minor issue in room 11. The service was of very good quality and very friendly, although a slight inconvenience with the rain shower temperature. The dining experience was enjoyable, with high-quality dishes but a lack of variety. The location is fantastic for sightseeing and driving to Oxford, perfect for watching a football match or relaxing after a long journey.
