Excellent hotel within easy reach of the tourist hotspots. We booked a large 'quad' family room and were very impressed with the size. Evening meal was lovely and the full English breakfast one of the best we've had in quite a while. Staff very friendly. Would definitely return when next in the area.

A very good hotel. The rooms were spacious with a Nespresso machine (always a plus) the bathroom was well designed. The bar and dining areas are very comfortable and the service was of a high standard. The hotel is well situated for Woodstock, Blenheim Palace and access to the Cotswolds. The hotel is very close to a busy road but we were not disturbed in our room. There is a footpath with a short walk to the nearest village, otherwise you will need a car to potter around. The breakfast was fine, the seasonal fresh fruits were in short supply, the scrambled eggs were a little watery, the hash browns were too greasy for me. The evening meal was a mixed bag, but they were very quick to compensate and apologise for the errors that were made. Overall a very good experience, recommended.
