Convenient for visiting family in Witney. Very nice rooms set out in a courtyard. It was warm, quiet, clean and a good size. Plenty of car parking and the adjoining restaurant and bar provides excellent food. The matress could be more comfortable. The shower is very weak. It was not clear that breakfast was not included and the breakfast menu didn't match what was actually available.

Very pretty and peaceful location. Comfortable rooms, Good food (when you could get it!) Having dined here previously and thoroughly enjoyed the food we decided to book a Christmas break. Management had changed and had apparently gone away immediately after Christmas lunch leaving a very junior person in charge of a full hotel. He did his best, but... We were not able to get food or drink after mid afternoon on Boxing Day without spending extra (£40 to get into Witney & back) on cabs. The shower in the room was barely a trickle at best and the boiler cut out when busy. This latter issue was remedied very quickly. Having asked about dinner on 27th, we saw the menu and booked for that evening. Sadly what was available was vastly different from what we'd expected. There was very little from the advertised choice and unfortunately the fish was overcooked. In fairness, a steak was made available and it was of good quality. Overall, we were a bit disappointed

Rooms were good and food reasonable except for Christmas day Didn't like having to walk outside to get to facilities like bar and restaurant. Weak staff communication.

Good location to explore Oxfordshire, lovely pub with a good restaurant. The breakfast was superb. Beds were comfortable, the shower needed tightening as the head was prone to dropping. A very enjoyable stay. The evening meal was a bit expensive compared to the quality but the staff recognised that. The shower needed tightening as the head was prone to dropping.

Value for money and beautiful location. It was a little to far away from the town that I was hoping to stay near, but perfect if you want to be out of town.

We were impressed with the friendliness of all the staff from the very warm welcome we received from the start and which continued until we left. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and kept very clean and tidy. The meals are excellent value although the menu is a little restricted in choice. This will be our first choice when we next visit this area

This was a return visit after I and my entire family stayed at The Bird in Hand 15 months ago for my younger son's wedding in Oxford. The visit this time was for another wedding and my younger son and his wife wanted to stay at The Bird in Hand as a trip down memory lane. Ownership of the hotel has changed hands very recently, but we still received a warm welcome (some of the same staff were working there) and had no regrets about returning.

The location was great and the Inn could be fantastic. However, the room was really disappointing - the mattress was so old and uncomfortable we had to sleep on the sofa! The bathroom was shabby and a hazard for our young daughter as the bath panel was broken and razor sharp and the shower wouldn't turn off! After a night of little sleep, the fire alarms were tested consistently for over an hour with no prior warning to guests that this was going to happen. We asked to change rooms but the owners weren't interested and rudely dismissed us. Fortunately the cleaners were really nice and moved us to another room which was marginally better. The breakfast was fine but the owners were extremely rude and when asking for some ketchup you would have thought I had asked to go to the moon! Even if the Inn had been lovely I wouldn't go back because of the rude owners.

The room was very comfortable and tastefully decorated. The ensuite had a bath and a shower. The pub was cosy and welcoming. The food was very good, on the whole, apart from the breakfast on one morning. The location was lovely. The owners were not very friendly. The wife, in particular, was positively unfriendly and unwelcoming although the young waiter was very attentive and friendly. There were very cheap products in the bathroom which seemed in direct contrast to the standard of the room. There was no hook in the bathroom for bathrobe or clothes. The mirror light did not work and was not fixed even when we mentioned it to the owners. The breakfast was cold on one morning and the scrambled eggs were inedible

Our stay was very comfortable and the food especially was great. The staff are very kind, genuine and friendly. I would certainly go back again to stay. The only reservation would be about the mattresses which are old and springs seem to poke through into your back when you lie down - if that were fixed it would be perfect.

Lovely large bedroom and a great pub. Breakfast was excellent. Poor quality shower because the water pressure was so low. And not possible to have a bath when I wanted one (4 P.M.) because there was no hot water available until about 5.30 P.M.

Rooms were lovely, cooked breakfast included was cooked to order and very tasty. Meals at the restaurant were also nice. Staff were helpful in suggesting places for us to visit around the Costwolds. It would have been helpful if they had some maps of the area and tourist information brochures at the hotel.

Very warm welcome and obliging staff and proprietor. Friendly atmosphere. Well eqipped room for price and encouragingly room was designed for use by wheel chair user without it look like a hospital ward. Recommende as thoroughly good value for money and ideal launch pad for the Cotswolds or city of Oxford.
