Quality village inn feel yet close to everything

We always come back here either for rally events or Halfway family meet. Just a great location, ambiance and great rooms and food

Food service can sometimes be a little slow, but we’re never in a hurry

Absolutely excellent. Will definitely stay again and would recommend to everyone.

Food excellent, staff very helpful, bed extremely comfortable, room perfect, quiet location, everything perfect. One of the best paces I have ever stayed in.

Place to walk the dog other than by the bee hives!

Hidden gem, minutes away from Bicester Village

Love the modern and clean room including the bathroom. We had a very comfortable stay. Recommended if you're going shopping at Bicester Village which is about 8 min away by car.

The key was not labelled with the room number which made us very confused initially because we couldn't lock the door and thought we were given the wrong set of keys.

Lovely hotel but poor customer experience

Hotel is lovely, room very comfortable and dog friendly

Charged twice (once through booking.com and additionally at hotel on check out). I’d hope it would be sorted by now so I could leave a more overall positive review however promised a refund in 48 hours and still waiting… Not able to give receipt or proof the refund went through either.

A lovely night away in a cottage style hotel

It was very quaint and the perfect night stay. The room was very comfortable, great shower and a lovely cooked breakfast and Bister Village 10 mins away

Nice hotel but a few tweaks would make it a top hotel

Really lovely room, fab master bed, and great to see vegan and cruelty free toiletries.

Tap in bathroom was broken. And the kids bed was really tiny for two kids (we don't have big kids but this was still a very small bed). Also, would be great to see more vegan options for breakfast (currently is the veggie breakfast minus the eggs but for the same price - if it comes with less, it should be less).

Very Comfortable Stay

It was within easy distance from the m40. Staff were friendly. The room had everything I needed in it and a really comfortable bed.

Exceptional

The room was not only clean and big but also decorated very comfortable way. There was a big window so our dog could see outside view. The bathroom was also very clean and nice. The foods were excellent! We very much enjoyed a dinner at the table in the pub with accompanying of our dog. The atmosphere of the pub was very cosy. The breakfast under the morning light in the restaurant was a good start of the day. The manager and stuffs were all very friendly and kind. We definitely recommend this property!!!

Disappointing and not value for money

The property is very close to the Bicester village for some retail therapy

We booked a superior room, which was very small, stuffy and the room wasn’t particularly very clean

Won’t be returning

Location, staff

Used crisp packet left in room, electrics dodgy on all appliances in room, very overpriced for what you get regarding accommodation, food was nice but again bit pricey.

Really enjoyed my stay and would go again.

Lovely clean hotel with a very comfy room and great shower. Food was fantastic and the staff were friendly.

The food was a lot of money. It was probably value for money at that price as it was superb, but don’t go there expecting a budget meal.

A very good place to stay and eat

Room was very comfortable -exceptionally clean Lovely evening meal served although some people were served Sunday dinner after the stated time on the menu - we did not choose to ask for this option due to the timings on the menu

Limited choice for breakfast - no fruit juice, cereals or toast were offered. Only hot breakfast dishes available on the menu but there was a good choice. Very poor Wifi connection throughout the bedrooms, pub and restaurant.

Poor

Beautiful area. Polite friendly staff.

Cleaning standards were disgusting, the shower tray filling with water because the filter had not been cleaned, payed £340 for two nights expecting a high standard of cleanliness so disapointed and upset by this.

Busy hotel lacking the finishing touch

very attractive pub hotel with well decorated rooms. good evening meal. Comfortable bed and large shower. Plenty of room in the bedroom and well insulated from noise

Friendly staff but as in so many UK properties, poor training and no apparent senior management on duty. Minor repairs required - to sink, lighting, door lock. The selection of breakfasts on offer was odd with no good proposal for a light meal. wine at the evening meal insufficiently chilled.

Average, lacked touches

Location was nice . Didn't have breakfast as thought £15 very steep

Room just lacked a few extras: Box tissues & extra water by bed, extra milk and teabags. No biscuits! Curtain over patio door was a right state all ripped and falling off. Big stain on carpet by bed No Womens disposal bags in toilet..Plug hole in shower was disgusting all blocked with hair had to keep stopping shower to let water drain otherwise would have overflowed shower pan. Just felt for a Superior room it lacked somewhat. When I checked out No one asked how my stay had been

Well located near the M40, this is a hidden gem and well worth a visit.

The room was very comfortable and the hosts went to lengths to make us welcome. There was an ample supply of coffee, teas, water and even a local sweet treat. The bathroom was well equipped with towels and toiletries. Delicious food in the pub.

Nothing.

Very good

In my head, rooms associated with a pub usually implies something a bit down market or run down. In this case I couldn't be more wrong, lovely comfortable and well appointed rooms and excellent value. The food was excellent too. Great location just off the M40, ideal for breaking up a long journey.

Service in the restaurant / reception was a bit slow, it was very busy though.

Lovely stay, great value

Nice little country setting. Easy to find. Easy check in with no fuss. Room clean and tidy, lovely big shower available. We had 3 course dinner in the evening which was lovely.

Room became really hot and stuffy during the night which effected both myself and my wife’s sleep.
