It is virtually unheard of for me to write a negative review of a hotel or restaurant no matter how annoyed or disappointed I may have been at the time. Frankly, life is too short and after a few hours back at home the irritation has dissipated and my busy life takes hold. But given the hype from the owners... More

This small gem, located in Woodstock, just 20 minutes from Oxford, is wonderful. The personal service and detail from family owner Paul, with historical connections, is great. He and the staff do a great job, and Woodstock a very quaint.

I spent the night before my wedding and also my wedding night in the Blenheim Suite. I felt like the luckiest girl in the world. The suite is probably fit for royalty. The bath is the biggest I have even seen, the candles and the light dimmers make it the most romantic bathroom I have ever been in. The four... More

We've stayed at hotels all over the world, from small 'boutique' places to 6-star establishments in the Middle East. Without question, Hope House is now at the top of out list of places to stay.

Nothing had been overlooked in catering for our comfort, and we were... More

We stayed in the Blenheim Suite for two nights, having tracked down a good deal via the Mr & Mrs Smith website. We were made to feel most welcome by Paul Money and his small team, all of whom had a reassuringly hands-off yet professional (and warm) attitude. Paul was at pains to point out that Hope House is an... More

Paul is an immaculate host. You arrive and immediately feel at home. Nothing is too much trouble. The Churchill suite is fabulous and with daughter in tow is perfect with its separate large bedroom. The sitting room allows you to relax in comfort in front of the tv, home from home. Breakfast is superb with fresh local produce and beautifully... More
