Wonderful stay
Friendly reception staff, beautiful beamed room (king premium) in the old part of the hotel.
The staff in the restaurant, both for breakfast and especially evening dinner were so welcoming and couldn't do enough for you.
The pool, sauna and steam room were great

Most comfortable hotel bed ever
The hotel was so clean and comfortable. We had everything that we needed and more. Every member of staff that we came across was really friendly and helpful. Our room was very large and we had a beautiful, huge, cloud-like bed. The pool was lovely and clean. The filtered bottles of water are a really lovely touch, along with the honeycombe on arrival. I have dietry requirements, which were catered to wonderfully for breakfast and when we ordered room service (which was yum!)

More a retreat than a hotel with quiet surroundings and beautiful gardens. Vey comfortable room.

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.

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
