Wedding Stay
We let reception know we were arriving ahead of check in and when we arrived our room was all ready. The room was spacious and clean, the bed was super comfortable. Although limited time on reception, the staff were so friendly, welcoming and efficient. The breakfast was lovely too. We'd recommend this hotel whole heartedly and would stay there again. Thank you to ALL the staff.

The accommodations are quite nice and parking onsite a plus. It actually takes 30 minutes to walk into town centre. A lovely pub and restaurant are nearby.

A brief but lovely respite.
My stay was amazing. It was brief, but wonderful. Spent time at the Ashmoleum Museum and then settled in at St. Margaret’s Hotel. The gentleman who checked me in was helpful with recommendations for where to get dinner. The complimentary breakfast in the morning was lovely, and I was able to meet and chat with other guests. Thank you for hosting such a pleasant stay.

Quiet, Comfortable and Pleasant Stau
I stayed in St. Margaret's Hotel for 7 nights as I was attending a course in Oxford. It is in a quiet, clean and pleasant area which is just a 20-minute walk into the city centre.
I had a single room which I found just the right size for my needs and the bed and room itself were very comfortable.
The only thing that was a little unhelpful was the 8am start time for breakfast. which meant I didn't have a lot of time before leaving for my course.
However, breakfast is taken in a lovely conservatory or in the garden which is a lovely way to start the day.

Great communication before arrival. Spacious & very comfortable twin room. Perfect location; we were able to park the car but walk into the centre of the city in about 20 minutes.
