Clean comfortable room, super king bed, good shower. No opening windows so patio door needs to be open with a restriction. Sunday roast was very good, a bit slow but 20 odd people showed up late & unexpected for a meal. Refurbished and modernised to a high standard.

Beautiful location, we chose this place because we were going shopping to Bicester Village. We can recommend here if your going shopping as this place was only 2 miles away. The hotel was fabulous, food, staff and atmosphere added to a very enjoyable stay!
