Think it is a bit rich to charge hotel guests for parking, it should be part of the fee. Also, the room was advertised as providing breakfast for two, but it was in fact only for one

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

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.
