Nothing really

Olivia met us at the car park, after I was a little confused about where to park - only because I have a rather long truck. She then treated us perfectly, showing is to our room and even recommending restaurants nearby. Olivia was great

We didn't book breakfast but when we went through the restaurant at breakfast time it seemed a little formal. Even though we pre-paid, on checkout we were asked if we would like to pay a service charge (we had not eaten or had a drink in the hotel) and they said it was for housekeeping tips. I felt obliged to pay (not that I was pressured at all) but feel it is worth noting. Our room had a lovely outside seating area (room 10) but it was next to staff entrance so was a little noisy. It also backs on to a church which was quite noisy late afternoon of people hanging around.

Fabulous room. Booked a classic room and were lucky enough to have a little private courtyard. Bed linen, bed, rainfall shower were lovely. Parking was easy as we'd pre-booked. Relatively good location.

Banbury road noise can be a bit annoying but there’s not much the hotel can do about that!

Beautiful, comfortable, understated but classy. In a superb location. Staff are just brilliant

The fire was on making the entrance very hot at all times. Getting through the dining space is very cramped and not pleasant to squeeze past people who are trying to eat. The staff service during breakfast was hap hazard, dropped salt and pepper behind the person eating beside us but didn’t apologise. Reached over the middle of party at our table where food was already placed to set down a plate. Breakfast pancakes were awful, thin and burnt.

The front entrance is beautiful, parking was excellent , location great for walking to the main sights. Rooms very well appointed and comfortable.

The cost of the room is quite high. Not a complete privacy in the bathroom due to the door that cannot be closed appropriately.

Kind and professional staff. Excellent breakfast

Nothing really.Nicest hotel in Oxford we have stayed in so very little we didn’t like except the price. It’s expensive given size of rooms but they are extremely comfortable , the staff could not be nicer and the food is really good

Location / character and most of all staff.

It’s hard to think of anything I didn’t like

Quality of everything especially food and drinks. Building - especially the walled outside terrace to eat breakfast. Cocktail bar. Newspaper offering. Privacy. Parking.

Adding a fitness room would be great, though not at the expense of other wonderful spaces such as the library!

Stayed in March 2025

there did not seem to be a resident's lounge, so nowhere comfortable to sit , only tables set up for dining staircase with doors difficult for carrying luggage rooms exceedingly expensive for what they are

the room, though not large, provided everything one might need as a base for a brief stay in Oxford kind cheerful staff coat hangers not fixed to the rail wonderful white cotton bedding duvet the correct weight soft pillows welcoming log fire in entrance excellent restaurant close to town

The location is excellent.
