It was all excellent. Couldn't find the car park and couldn't work out the lights by the bed. Apart from that all very good. We will come again. It's a shame you don't allow well behaved dogs in the garden rooms!

Great hotel with comfortable room and friendly staff. They accommodated our request for an early check-in which we really appreciated too. Nice breakfast.

Helen, United Kingdom

beautiful hotel ,easy parking , rooms couldn’t be cleaner and staff were exceedingly accommodating

Emma, United Kingdom

The room was extremely comfortable. Unfortunately I was a little unwell on the Sunday morning but the staff couldn't do enough to help me. The event I was attending was held at the Spread Eagle (an 80th birthday party), and so I had everything at my finger tips.A very family friendly atmosphere, all in all a fantastic experience.

Lovely period hotel, sympathetically restored and furnished, in the heart of 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 miles) 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 8.2 for a two-person trip.

We speak your language!

The Spread Eagle Hotel has been welcoming Booking.com guests since Oct 17, 2006

An Inside Look at The Spread Eagle Hotel

The Spread Eagle has graced the heart of the historic market town of Thame since the 16th Century. The Grade I listed hotel is nestled amongst the artisan butchers, bakers, delicatessens and teashops that line the charming town centre, which is used as a filming location for ITV’s Midsummer Murders. During its colourful history, The Spread Eagle has played host to many historic figures such as King Charles II, and writers such as Evelyn Waugh and John Fothergill (An Innkeepers Diary). From the exterior, the hotel is instantly recognisable by its 30ft original sign depicting The Spread Eagle crest that has welcomed travellers for over a century. The hotel retains its sense of heritage and personality on the inside, where a meeting room named The Cockpit can be seen next to the entrance. This room was historically used for cockfights, but now provides a sophisticated space accommodating up to 8 people for private dinners or meetings.

“Not worth the money”

눉Incredibly expensive hotel £140 per night, which did not include breakfast. Room was very basic and noisy, so I did not get much sleep. Staff were not attentive and seemed more interested in talking to each other, than serving their customers.
눇The hotel was very close to our offices

“Booking and contact didn't work well”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • 2 rooms
- • Stayed 1 night
눉We didn't get a respond to our request for staying 3 persons in 1 room instead of 2 rooms. However they have just changed it to a 1 room with an extra bed, so we got it when we showed up :-). Unfortunately when we got into the room we experienced problems with the electricity and the flush :-( , so we were moved to twin rooms, and promised to get the one room as complimentary. Nice, clean twin rooms rooms :-) - but the shower in one of them were not functioning well :-/ When we checked out we were charged our originally booking (2 rooms), and told that it was because we haven't cancelled the one room?! (But why should we have done that, when we didn't know they have moved us into 1 room??!). We were on vacation and I didn't want to take the discussion, so we ended up with paying for both rooms - despite the problems with moving around, and having been promised to get one complimentary because of the inconvinience.
눇Good location. Prober hotel. Very helpfull receptionist.

눉The toilet in the bathroom was almost touching the side of the bath. Too cramped between the wall and the bath. Room was described as a courtyard room but it overlooked a side alley with steps up to the back of the adjoining property's flat. Not a courtyard. Very dark room.
