Good location for visiting friends and NT properties and Bicester Village. Modern decor. Very friendly staff. Very comfortable room on ground floor with large powerful shower, toiletries, safe, iron and board, coffee machine, complementary water and biscuits. Comfortable bed and bedding . Plenty of space, lovely bar and restaurant and excellent meal and breakfasts, with a lot of choice and freshly cooked and served.

Somewhere in the bathroom to put a toiletry bag would have been nice. The glass shelf was too small (and there was plenty of room for additional shelving) A towel ring next to basin would be helpful. There was no kettle just a very impressive coffee machine which could dispense hot water. But for tea that didnt really work well as not hot enough. No kettle available when asked but a flask of hot water was offered - it didn't stay hot overnight. Wish I'd brought my small travel kettle.

amazing!! comfy bed, cosy and warm inside, had everything we needed. it was in the perfect location, so isolated and calm, surrounded by friendly animals and stunning views! the owners were so accommodating and friendly, really made us feel at home. bathroom facilities were fantastic, hot and powerful showers! the wifi worked with no issues or delays, and the property was so easy to find.

We were completely separate from the main house with a little sitting area with two comfortable chairs. A fridge & microwave & a complete kitchenette completed the stay. The bed was so comfortable & the breakfast amazing. Our hosts spoilt us completely. Thank you.

Room was pleasant enough but not value at the £99pn rate, the Sunday rate of £60 was more like the level it should be.

Board basis was unclear and somewhat misleading, it is implied that this is a B&B rate which the confirmation contradicts and is indeed served but charged. Signage for check-in doesn't exist and as there's no reception you must make enquiry with staff at the bar, instructions to this effect would have been useful in advance of arrival. Late night access, we emailed the hotel and were told they 'might' be able to give us a back door key to get in after 11pm when this is provided by default and a key is present upon every room set of keys - poor communication. There was no working in-room WiFi and the TV signal was dreadful with only half the channels able to be received, the logic of mounting a flat-screen TV two feet out from a wall in front of the drawers (hindering access) with a dangling power cable at choke height for a child was unfathomable.
