Fantastic
We went away for a long weekend break. We had a fantastic time! The hotel is absolutely lovely. Great location within walking distance of the centre Oxford along the river. The rooms are beautiful and spotlessly clean. We ate in the restaurant one Friday evening and the food was great and beautifully presented. The staff at this hotel are absolutely amazing and that made our stay extra special. In particular, the head waiter/manager in the restaurant went out of his way to help. Highly recommend this hotel and we will defintely be returning

Enjoyed a great 3 night stay. Every member of staff we encountered was friendly, polite and helpful. Lovely big comfortable room, huge choice at breakfast. Perfect (quiet) location. A short drive to the park and ride for Oxford city centre and a few minutes walk to the river - we walked along the Thames path into the city centre one day. On Saturday there was a wedding taking place but the hotel is so large and sprawling we were not disturbed by it at all. Would thoroughly recommend this place to anyone

We just stayed for just the one night, but that was enough to make a great impression. The lovely welcome by your very bubbly receptionist, the comfort of the bedroom and the super breakfast all contributed to a memorable stopover. We hope to visit again in the future.
