A friendly, polite and professional team run this excellent inn. When we arrived, we were delighted with the building, the decor and the layout, which was quaint with a modern touch. Our interaction with the staff was always positive. We were very pleased with our corner room which was enormous! The bed was large and very comfortable.
We liked the look of the menu which offered British and Indian dishes so we stayed here for our evening meal, and were not disappointed! The Indian food was first class. Breakfast was really good, the smoked salmon was delicious.
Using the outside areas must be fabulous in summer

The hotel is situated on a main road about 3 miles out of Kidlington- no public transport so car needed. But it is also about 3 miles from Woodstock, at a cheaper price than many of their hotels, with guaranteed easy parking. Oxford is about 8 miles and the efficient Park and Ride about 5 miles- but beware of major road works at present (March 2024)

We went to the battle of the proms in Blenheim.
We went to the battle of the proms in Blenheim. The gig was Great. Weather was disappointing a couple of things got cancelled due to weather conditions. But as a whole the night was great very well organised. Blenheim grounds looked very nice . We skipped the tour of the palace due to price would have been around £140 for the four of us. . Went for meal at a local pub which was very nice.

Not a picturesque place but good if you don’t want to pay Oxford city prices. Easy access into city, by taxi (20 mins& approx £15 for 3 people), parkway & bus. Reasonable selection supermarkets & restaurants.

The purpose of our stay was to visit Oxford University abd the town itself. Everywhere is within close proximity travelling by car. Lovely quiet area, lots of major road works going on at the moment.

The property was clean and light and good location to where we wanted .
The down fall we found was the bathroom is downstairs which was a issue for my mother who is 80yrs old . She found the shower uneasy as there was no grab rail and no hook got you clothes .
The kitchen we found was very limited utensils and and tableware no tea towel and no washing up liquid etc.
We asked for a tea towel which arrived straight away so very helpful

Stressful trying to get a new code for door.
Stressful trying to get a new code for door. Woman insisted on texting it rather than just telling over the phone. Wasted half an hour f our time. Modern tv, but didn’t have time to work out how to use it. Bed quite high. We are average height. So points in wall sockets were useful. Went to a local pub for food. The Black Horse. Food & service were OK. Has heating if required plenty of tea & coffee, fresh milk in fridge. Need to take some washing up liquid in a small bottle. Tea towel provided. Room clean and comfortable.
The room was well furnished and amply sized. The bathroom was very clean, with good towels and toiletries (no plastic shampoo dispensers screwed to the wall). The hospitality tray was generous, with excellent biscuits included. Hot water was plentiful and the TV worked well. The bed was very comfortable. The car park is big, although getting out of the hotel on to the busy road outside, with several lanes to cross, is not always easy.
Having only ever stayed in hotels, I was a little dubious when my partner surprised me with a nights stay at this property for our Anniversary. As soon as we got inside, any doubts were quickly removed, the property was delightful. Spacious, light, clean and cosy. The highlight for me had to be the beds. In all my 40 plus years, never have I slept so well. Thank you for your hospitality.
For our trip the location was very good - easy to access Oxford and Blenheim palace. The property was easy to find with parking on site and shops and pubs nearby. It was a very cosy and comfortable base for a weekend away with my mum and sister. A very good alternative to a hotel. tastefully furnished and a good sized kitchen. I'd definitely book this property again.
The house was beautifullu decorated, very comfortable and so conveniently close to kidlington centre. Barry the friendly owner met us at the property and showed us around. He provided good advice to the location and answered our questions efficiently. We would highly recommend this house. One bedroom had a double bed and the other room had three single beds.
It was the perfect retreat for my summer school in Oxford. It was clean, comfortable, and cute. The fan was great in the heatwave, and the ventilation was good. I appreciated the security. It was also very convenient for the bus stops into Oxford! Part of my stay, others stayed with me and it was roomy enough for 4 people.
Very friendly staff and delicious freshly cooked breakfast with variety.
The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable, I actually had a very good nights sleep.
The location is great and was convenient for our needs.
I would recommend for anyone wishing to visit the surrounding area and would stay again in the future.
The hotel was just what we expected. The room was spotless, and the bed comfortable
Staff were very helpful and polite, nothing was too much trouble.
Evening meal in the restaurant exceeded our expectations, large portions and well cooked.
Breakfast was excellent, again nothing too much trouble for the staff
I liked everything about the bar and hotel. The staff were lovely, the location is beautiful with lots of country walks at their doorstep. The vegan options were so very tasty. The room was very comfortable and clean.
We just enjoyed everything about our stay.
This is a great room with very good furniture. It is a short drive into Oxford, but you really need to have worked out before travelling where you will park. The Park and Ride is very close, so if you don't know the city well, that's the way to travel.
