This was the first time staying here, rooms are large and clean with comfy beds but when we arrived in the early evening the room was quite cold and even after turning up the heat it didn't seem to do much. During the night while in bed the heating seem to come on and really warm the room up, not really the time it is needed..Overall it was a good stay

We liked the clean, modern style of the place - in particular the dining room. And the friendly efficiency of the reception staff - also the excellent food.

Clean and comfortable but service was a little slow and could be more enthusiastic. Bar closed at 11pm on Sat night and wouldn’t serve 8 of us a nightcap even though we were residents.

This was not advertised correctly. We booked as air conditioning was included at the hotel and in the room we booked. Then they placed us in a room without - tiny, extremely hot room and we were not comfortable. Only thing they could offer was a fan, nothing else. We were then told we would hear back with refund options, but absolutely nothing has been done.

Little chance of sleeping in this hotel alongside a noisy road. It felt like our room was on top of the road! Badly designed bathroom. Not to be repeated.

Ground floor room perfect as I struggle to walk. It was rather warm when we were staying and I was extremely glad we brought our own fan as no fan/air con in room. Bed a bit hard for me, ended up with sore back. Room clean and bed beautifully made. They forgot about our bathroom on 2nd morning. Breakfast was ok. But get there early as it’s not big area and you could wait ages to get a coffee/tea. Staff very pleasant and polite. At the disabled parking I pointed out that a nasty accident was waiting to happen as there was an unmarked drop at the planters onto a path. Definitely needs to be highlighted. Overall, it was a decent stay. We stayed there as is near our daughters in Chinnor. Will be back.
