Perfect pub/hotel! Will definitely stay again.

A one night stop to visit a relation. Great food although a bit more choice, ie fruit, on the breakfast menu would have been nice. Comfortable, quiet room and having our dog with us was not an issue. Would stay again.

The Lion is an excellent place to stay - great food and really nice rooms. The rooms have a really good level of equipment with a coffee maker etc. The restaurant was very good, really nice food and good service. Breakfast was very good - but not great for business travellers, as it doesn't start until 8am. Bringing this forward to 7.30am would make all the difference (but maybe not to those going to Bicester Village!) I would also really recommend adding a couple of electric car chargers - it would be easy to do just inside the gate, and would make a huge difference - it is one of the things I look for in all hotels nowadays.

Cosy pub, very happy with our stay. Food was a bit on the expensive side. But a great place to stay

We really enjoyed our stay at the lion. Location to Bicester was perfect. Room was exactly what we booked . Dinner was excellent … that burger was first class & the crumble was awesome. Class venue .

Very well provided fir in the rooms, thank yiu

Stay was ok......only one person taking orders for breakfast so had to wait a while. No remote for the tv.....manager said nothing he could do so no tv all weekend.

Beautiful building, friendly and welcoming staff

Really nice pub with nice rooms in a newly built outbuilding. The restaurant was very good with dinner and breakfast both being excellent. My only (very slight) issue is the build of the flooring in the new building is a little poor, being able to hear people moving up and down the stairs. That being said there aren’t many people moving around so not too bad Certainly will stay again.

Enjoyed our stay in a lovely, cozy room with access to the garden. Only complaint is the mattress could be upgraded as it was worn and springy. Otherwise it was a perfect stay and we loved the ambience and village feel.

A delightful place. A very spacious bedroom and bathroom. And a good choice of cooked breakfasts.

We stayed here for 3 nights for a birthday treat. It was wonderful. Everything from start to finish has made us want to come back. The pub/restaurant was lovely- friendly staff who go above and beyond. We ate here every night and our meals were fabulous. Breakfasts are great and set you up for the day. The locals were so kind and helpful and really made our stay. They gave us advice on places to visit and how to get there- including the brilliant bus service (S5 goes straight from Wendlebury to Oxford) Our room was beautiful. Spacious, comfortable and clean. Despite being so close to a duel carriageway we never heard it- the location is perfect for a quiet getaway, while being in close proximity to the beautiful Oxford and for those who love shopping- Bicester village.

A lovely place to stay. Where to check in is slightly confusing and could be better signposted. Friendly little cat wandering around site too. Only minor problem was nowhere to drop key off for an early check out. I had to leave my key in the room after searching for a Dropbox / letterbox for 10 minutes as had to leave before 7:30am. A suggestion would be somewhere to leave these. There was also not much direction on details in the room I.e. no breakfast menus or local information or anything surrounding check out. All minor and a lovely stay

Very clean and comfortable room. Excellent food. Friendly and hospitable staff.

Needed somwhere to stay near Oxford and this fitted the bill. Worked well and the food, especially the evening meal was excellent.

Wonderfully presented rooms. Good quality classical features but modern. Amazing walk in shower. I liked the toiletries and that they were full size with a polite request to leave them or they would be chargeable. Plenty of water and tea/coffee provided. Bed was a bit soft for me and sofa bed for the kids was quite small but adequate. It was a particularly hot day and we were on the ground floor, the only 'window' in the room was a door, leading to a pathway at the back of the beer garden. It was on a safety latch but I was concerned leaving it open during the night, so it was rather warm. I did not ask for a fan but it would be useful to know if one is available if needed. We had an evening meal & breakfast there and enjoyed both. Easy access to Bicester Village and road links but far enough away in a lovely quiet village. No problem parking at the hotel during our visit. I would definitely stay here again & recommend it.

Food and service was brilliant. All staff attentive and food very good. We were in a superior room on the ground. Very disappointed with this room, very tired looking in need of decoration and replacement of mouldy voile. Ventilation very poor, fan was provided but didn’t work properly, first night very uncomfortable. Cleanliness very poor, lots of dust and stains on surfaces. For our second night the fan was replaced and room serviced. Fan worked well, cleanliness still unsatisfactory though. In my opinion the cost of the accommodation was excessive and not value for money.

Beautiful hotel

Very pleasant quiet hotel located a short drive from the Bicester Village outlet.

Loved this hotel, it was absolutely amazing. The location, architecture and the staff was wonderful. Didn’t eat dinner but had some desserts and they were delicious also the breakfast. Great with parking and the room was spacious and lovely. A family with adult kids from Sweden.

Quiet location just minutes from Bicester village. Nice pub and restaurant on site.

Lovely hotel,staff extremely helpful. Bed very comfortable,powerful shower. Breakfast and Lunch delightful.

Our room was attractive and furnished to a high specification. Less keen on a la carte breakfast without a continental breakfast option.

Lovely pub and really nice large modern room

Beautiful hotel tastefully decorated with that “ye olde england” feel, heavenly comfy beds and polite courteous staff. A few broken lamp shades & broken tap but these are minor things.

We stopped there for a shopping trip to Bicester, which is very close, though not within walking distance. Great hospitality, lovely pub, on-site parking. We ate there and the food was really nice and hot. The room was a deluxe one which was very spacious. Clean, warm with a lovely big, comfy bed. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. More expensive than a hotel chain, but so much more cozy and characterful.

Was just passing through but wish we were staying for longer, great country Inn. Decorated to a high standard, would definitely recommend.

2nd stay at this pub and still enjoyable. Really good sized room and very nicely furnished. Pub is a good one with decent good choices with a good breakfast menu for an additional £10 which is pretty good value if not included in the room rate.

Beautiful location, we chose this place because we were going shopping to Bicester Village. We can recommend here if your going shopping as this place was only 2 miles away. The hotel was fabulous, food, staff and atmosphere added to a very enjoyable stay!

Beautiful hotel, we had a great stay.

Superb hotel and wonderful bistro, credit to the chef and the staff. Would be even better to have a small fridge in the room.

An excellent stay at the Lion. Good food, good service, very helpful staff. 5*
