    Good food, the hotel made us nice sandwiches before the dinner service as we were in a hurry and the breakfast was lovely.

    Shower not very powerful at all.

    Excellent food.

    Bedside clock 12hrs 13 minutes or so out. Didn't like it flashing all night.

    "Sadly not an experience I will repeat. I had booked the hotel on behalf of myself and two companions and was embarrassed by the condition of the rooms." (108651977)

    Very hospitable welcome.

    Cleanliness was very poor and the breakfast greasy and unpleasant.

    Reception was excellent and rooms clean Food was very good as was the menu as a whole

    Bathroom basin: water took ages to run out - seems to be a blockage somewhere Dining-room staff were not very good and could not understand when spoken to in English

    "Overall, very nice, clean and comfy room, nice breakfast, and staff very helpful" (107953449)

    The room had internet access, free fruit, comfy bed decent storage. Room was small but functional, nice views. Hotel has a nice atmosphere, pity I was only there for one night, so never had a chance to sample the bar or evening menu.

    Internet browser was very dated, shower pressure was low, radiator had been left on full, so room very hot on a hot night, with no breeze, fan would have been welcome.

    "The building is a traditional, old English building - hence it's fixtures & fittings are not going to be flawless. But it's hard to fault!! For car enthusiasts it's a must. No doubt would stay again if in the county!!!" (107558889)

    Picturesque, pleasant & professional staff. Comfortable. Well priced accomodation, restaurant & bar.

    "Room was too hot when we came back in the evening. " (108196430)

    Friendly staff. Bed comfy. Breakfast good.

    The radiator taps in the room (25) were stiff and could not be adjusted. The plastic tap caps were too soft and got chewed up inside. Hotel needs to hire a plumber to free them up. Room decor is a bit tatty. I wouldn't hire their decorator.

    Location - good proximity to Oxford - very good surrounding area

    Internet connection did not work - tv reception very poor(4 channels of snow) - beds generally very uncomfortable - shower had very poor pressure and setting the temperature took about 15 minutes - hotel felt very tired -needed an upgrade - room expensive at £135 per night - expected better.

    "Staff - great. Food - lovely. Room - awful." (107563801)

    The staff were absolutely lovely and welcoming. The food was excellent.

    The hotel is extremely dated and is very poorly lit from the country road so I drove past it several times. The room was extremely tired and was freezing cold as the heating was not on. The decor was awful, with very badly hung woodchip on the walls. The shower was terrible with just a scalding hot trickle. A tiny TV which was so old the sound kept coming and going.

    "Nice inn in the country, near main roads but heavy rush hour traffic leaving in the morning. Excellent staff. Amazing facilities in room for 2* hotel: welcome tray, large TV, PC, free internet, trouser press, iron / ironing board. Small but comfortable room. Really nice inn food for dinner and a good selection of malt whiskeys! Choice of cooked breakfasts included. Reception wrote out exact directions for my next stop." (97717225)

    Great value, welcoming staff, well-equipped room, free wi-fi and computer

    Difficult traffic getting away. Room rather small.

The location was convenient and relatively quiet. We all felt very 'at home' there and were able to relax in the evenings in the bar lounge on some very comfortable sofas." (97253831)

    The hotel was easy to find, comfortable and welcoming.

    The single bedrooms were a little cramped.

    "Although our stay was perfectly pleasant, the owners could have engaged a little more with their guests and shown a little more interest in us as clients. Our room contained an eclectic mix of old and new facilities, so it was a little incongrous in its presentation, though we did feel that the room was somewhat on the expensive side considering what was in it. The bed was surprisingly comfortable because it seemed a little hard at first but we had an excellent night's sleep. Also, the bathroom had a wonderful power shower and lovely bath. It was difficult to open any windows as some of their fixtures and fittings looked as if they weren't safe to touch. The breakfast was a disappointment and quite indifferent.This was a shame as we always look forward to a nicely cooked breakfast when we are away from home. It was very dry and the eggs were overcooked. The one lone plum tomato on our plate could have done with a little juice with it. The toast was undercooked." (99797290)

    Loved the bathroom and splendid shower. Liked the fact that there was a settee and a sizeable table to sit at. Liked the facility for web-browsing but was disappointed that they system did not work very well. Lovely to receive the flowers and the fruit bowl.

    "Staff friendly and keen to please but not obsequious. We arrived a bit late for lunch and the proprietor politely said he would check if something could be done for us. It could and I ordered lasagne assuming that it would be microwaved. We were told it would take 30 minutes as it was cooked from scratch and that is exactly how it tasted. Great chips and big portions. Garlic bread clearly freshly made. After lunch we went upstairs to sleep it off and shortly afterwards a knock at the door announced a bowl of fruit - a lovely refreshing thought. Good cooked breakfast with kippers and haddock available as an alterative. We were due to attend a party 3-4 miles away and the proprietor was very helpful in suggesting cab firms. Later he offered to take us back to the venue the next day if we chose to drive there, leave the car and get a cab back thus saving us a cab fare one way. What a lovely and refreshing attitude. In the end we didn't avail ourselves of the offer as our plans changed but how often do you get that sort of treatment? We've stayed in similar places but the atmosphere here was so much better. We have felt we were imposing in someone's home in other places but not here." (99345030)

    The staff were all lovely.

    It is dated and a bit tired but in a comfortable way.

    "Hotel looks inviting from the outside,I have passed it many times on my way to my son's home.Garden was pretty,bar was ok.The general standard of the rooms was not what one should expect for the cost.At breakfast the jug containing milk for the guests cereals was chipped. The manager was very pleasant and helpful in providing telephone numbers for taxis to bring us back to hotel late at night." (99346862)

    ensuite tv

    room had rather an unpleasant smell as did one of our friend's rooms,my daughter's room smelt of stale cigarettes.

    Nothing really. I prefer a bath to a shower - but accept that most people don't.

    "As you will have noted from questionnaire, we have stayed in quite a number of hotels in the past 6 months (we were 3 months in Australia). Regrettably this hotel in England was easily the worst. Having said that the staff were friendly and polite. We do not feel able to recommend the hotel to our friends who live in Boars Hill nearby and whose party we were going to which is a pity as had we been able to do so undoubtedly they would pass on that recommendation to friends when next they have a family celebration. My croisants at breakfast were stale (quite unnecessary as croisants freeze very well and defrost very quickly and so should prove one of the easiest things to produce for breakfast)." (97152576)

    polite, friendly staff

    Carpet badly stained and as no slippers provided (usually quite normal in most hotels these days) felt uneasy having to walk on it barefoot. Things left in drawers including broken photograph frame?(broken glass) No soap. Towels old and frayed and small and should be thrown out. Holes in sheet. Mattress should be replaced - could feel springs of mattress. Bed linen well passed its sell by date and looked and felt most unappealing. The Safe was locked so I could not get into it to reset it and when I requested assistance to open it, it wasn't tested. I was unable to use it as it appeared to indicate that the batteries were low. No instructions as to how to use the computer. Bathroom in dire need of upgrading eg. no towel rails. Poor shower. Room decor very old fastioned in dire need of upgrading - a slap of white paint is all that is required.
