  • You could only choose 1 item for breakfast i.e you couldn’t have for example cereal and a cooked meal if you wanted one which felt a bit penny pinching

Beautiful accom in Oxford

The room was extremely comfortable and the staff went out of their way to accommodate our late arrival which we really appreciated. It’s in a quaint part of town, felt nice and safe. Would definitely stay again.

  • The breakfast, although good, started too late (Sundays from 9 to 11) to start any route because it is also served and continental, and can delay the departure a lot. A bit far location to visit Oxford, you have to take a car no matter what

Very pleasant but thought we’d paid for the facilities and the room.

The location is great and it was clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Nice location, but too expensive for what you get

The location is nice: within reach of Oxford (by bus or bike) but outside the hustle and bustle of the city. It is located in a cozy residential area, bus stop within walking distance. It is a cozy pub with a very atmospheric terrace in the garden. Spacious room, beautiful bathroom.

  • It was the most expensive hotel we had during our bike vacation and certainly not the best. The breakfast is ridiculously expensive for what you get: 15 pounds for a bowl with 1 large spoon of Greek yogurt with some red fruit and granola and coffee or tea. No breakfast buffet where you can still grab something. Also, you can only have breakfast from 9 am on weekends, which is really too late for morning people. No covered place for bicycles.
