Stayed for a couple of nights on business. It's about a tenner in a taxi to get to town, but Oxford is well worth a visit. It's a nice hotel, comfy beds and good facilities, although it probably suffers for its size. (it seems to go on for ever!) Breakfasts are buffet tyle but very good. Bar food took 45... More

A well run, well appointed hotel with friendly staff, good amenities (slightly odd leisure club but you get used to it) nice rooms and very good beds. On the downside it sprawls across what seems to be miles of countryside and I have paced a walk to one of the rooms I stayed in over the years to nearly 400... More

We stayed in one of the premium doubles on the ground floor. The room was very nice. The beds were comfy and (when the late night party bunch werent stomping around) they were nice to sleep in. Unfortunately it was a bit of a warm weekend and as such it was a bit on the warm and stuffy side. Air... More

Comfortable stay - convenient to Oxford. Helpful staff who put us in a room well away from a noisy hen party! Room was very clean. Breakfast was very good, evening meal tries to be too "Masterchef" but was O.K. as part of a DB&B deal.

My husband and I stayed on Saturday night following a wedding and i wanted to write and say how delightful we found the hotel. Whilst the layout of the rooms is a little complicated and of course there is nothing overly pretty about the hotel, the staff should make you proud. We had nothing but excellent service the enture stay.... More

Booked 3 rooms here for a family stay in Oxford. Convenient location on the outskirts. Pleasant reception area and simple check-in. Went to room and it was extremely hot. It was a nice sunny day outside (especially for April) and the sun was blazing in making the room unbearable. Tried to turn the aircon on but didn't seem to work.... More

It's 1:30 a.m., and the rooms around me are full of partiers. I was startled awake by one particular lad who ran down the hallway screaming and pounding on doors. The hotel provided better lip service about it than the rest of their services (and I use that word loosely). It's a shame because the room is perfectly serviceable.

Stayed here recently for three nights to visit friends in Oxford. The hotel has been taken over by Puma Hotels and is still finding its feet. The guest directory, when it arrives from the printers, will be welcome. It was difficult to know where everything is. The room service was prompt, but quite expensive for what it was. Friendly service... More

The first room I was assigned was a loooong way from reception and had a view of a brick wall; when I asked for a better room becuase I was here for two nights I was assigned a lovely room with a good view - thank you checkin team!
