They were so kind to us opening breakfast early so we could get to LHR at a time they also helped us determine. The room was great, I would recommend this to anyone. Oxford is a bit of a mess right now with all the road work so staying on the outskirts was a benefit.

As our son lives nearby my wife and i have stayed before and also been in regularly for drinks and found every experience a good one. Staff are aways so polite and helpful. Rooms are excellent and breakfast also excellent. My wife very impressed with the vegetarian breakfast as few places get this right. We have already booked to stsy again
