Great hotel very close to Bicester Village
We chose this hotel as it was close to Bicester village which we were visiting, it looked nice in the photos and the reviews were good.
We were not disappointed when we arrived, it was better than it looked in the photos.
All of the staff were very polite and helpful and both the evening meal and breakfast were amazing. All in all a lovely peaceful stay less than 10 minutes from Bicester Village.

Everything good. Nice location and very quiet yet close to nearby amenities. Strange that kitchen closes 8.45pm but otherwise very comfortable and relaxing stay.
