Bicester Hotel Guide - Island Pond Wood hotels in Bicester, United Kingdom.

"I would suggest they get a new cleaner and actually clean the rooms and the bathrooms and have new silicon around the shower tray as it’s full of mould and the toilet was disgusting"

"The drains made the room smell. When not in use we had to cover the shower drain, the sink drains and shut any vents. Keeping the bathroom door shut and window slightly open. We were only there 1 night and tired so this was preferable than the hassle of staff investigation and potentially having to move rooms. "

"The room & staff were fine. Not fine is that my receipt says we paid for a free breakfast as an "included amenity" when per the guests guide in the room that only applies to bookings from 2024. Worse, it's STILL shown as an included amenity on hotels.com, more than 1 year after it became no longer available. I left a hotels.com message with The Plough on 4 Feb 2026 advising them, but have not had the courtesy of a response. We didn't receive several hundred pounds worth of breakfast during our 20 day stay, so we're quite unhappy"

"Well it could not of been any better, had a great stay, warm, cozy. 10 minutes from Bicester it's self, we would come back😁 sitting watching the birds and wild life was a joy. Loved every minute, only draw back which has nothing to do with our stay, we would come earlier so it was the lighter nights to see more of Bicester and wild life x"

"Lovely spacious house with great entertainment."

"Very comfortable and modern apartment. For 2 people it was great and a good base. There's no parking on site and so you have to pay in advance at the Sainsbury's behind but it's not even a 5 minute walk. Apartment was clean and beds made for a great night's sleep."

"This place was amazing. It has been lovingly converted into accommodation with so much attention to detail that you don’t want to leave. The additional Christmas decorations were super cute and appreciated as well as the full service kitchen (with coffee and milk), games and fabulous top floor 360°window to watch the sunrise/sunset, wildlife etc. Highly recommend a stay here.
