Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The hotel gave me a room with a gorgeous roll top bath as I had requested, so I was very grateful to enjoy a luxurious soak. I also was very happy with the breakfast; you can order anything off their menu, however it was inconvenient that breakfast wasn't served until 8am because I had a to be at a seminar in the centre of Oxford by 9am and I ended up arriving there late. I also could not find the car park so had to pay for the long stay.

Bed was comfy, shower was hot, staff were brilliant and the food was really nice too. Excellent breakfast all included in the price too which means it's really good value... Carpets were a bit grubby, but on the whole an excellent place to stay if you're in the area.
