Have stayed here a number of times and never yet in the same area of the hotel. Looks like some of the rooms are being refurbished, as we stayed in one where everything looked new. Pleasant staff, as always and a good choice for breakfast. Would recommend if visiting Oxford, as Oxford Parkway(Park and Ride) is only 20mins away (depending on traffic).

We stayed here for 2 nights for our visit to Countryfile Live at Blenheim Palace and it was a great experience. The Hotel staff were very efficient and helpful; the room was clean; the food was lovely. We would definitely stay there again.

The hairdryer was horribly! I don't know how a Hotel can by such a stupid design... Our room was pretty dark because one of the lights was defekt and the water tap was abnormal. The waterquality was (how german people would say it) like from the underground.
