United KingdomBreakfast staff were stressed and very short staffed nothing was fill Buffe empty Over 40 Minutes for omelette and toast.ok
SwedenFrench doors on to the garden made the room feel airy and light.
United KingdomThe gentleman working was brilliant and genuinely couldn't do enough from the minute we walked in, even with all the restrictions followed at the minute which was done perfectly here we were welcomed and made aware where we could get food and everything else we could need locally, our rooms were brilliant 3 of us stayed in separate double rooms which were all spotless and much appreciated
United KingdomFriendliness of the staff particularly the gentleman on the desk i think the owner ?
United KingdomQuaint hotel with polite and helpful staff. We booked into the hotel restaurant, the food was exceptionally good at an extremely reasonable price. Breakfast was equally good. It’s a half hour drive to Bicester so although not a great deal in Thame it was the perfect stop off for our shopping trip.
United KingdomStaff very helpful very nice breakfast was delicious and included in price

Bathroom very clean. Comfortable bed

One of our top picks in Thame. Since the 16th century, The Spread Eagle has hosted historic guests such as King Charles II and the writer Evelyn Waugh. Today it offers a warm welcome, excellent food and free Wi-Fi.
The Spread Eagle is in the heart of historic Thame, famous for its 1-mile-long (1 mi) Main Street. With a rich history, the hotel’s guests have included royalty, famous politicians, writers and even French prisoners from the Napoleonic wars.
The Spread Eagle was made famous by the unusual John Fothergill, who owned the hotel in the 1920s. He wrote about this in the popular book, “An Innkeepers Diary”.
Fothergill believed in the highest standards of food and service – this tradition continues in The Spread Eagle’s Eden Bar and Grill. A fresh new English menu is served, including a reassuring ‘comfort cooking’ section.
The fantastic city of Oxford is within easy reach, along with the historic town of Aylesbury. For shopping addicts, Bicester Outlet Village is only minutes away.
Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.0 for a two-person trip.
