• Easy to get to Oxford and the Motorway.
• Not as good as it used to be. Best they buck up.

“I have stayed here a few times now. I think they have changed the cleaning lady for sure. And certainly changed the breakfast lady too. Not nearly so good now. The chef must have moved on too and this is reflected in the quality of the food. Service has always been decent here, but for the price, had best get their act together soon or I wont be coming back. The locals are a good crack but it is expensive for what it is now compared to just 6 months and a year ago.”

• clean very comfortable

“The accomadation was clean and cosy.
The food was excellent.
Although the staff were pleasant, I think being friendly was not quite
the word I would have chosen.
I would stay there again if nothing else was available in the area.”

• Nice village location. Fair restaurant.
• Indifferent attitude of staff. No hot water for first night. Inaccurate advice re. breakfast times.

“I didn't feel looked-after or cared-about in this hotel. It took far too long for us to be sorted out on arrival. We had two rooms booked and neither had hot water for a shower after a long drive from the south coast. This meant having to keep an evening appointment without the chance to shower first- unheard of in my experience.

The room was rather tatty, with, for example, curtains torn and TV remote control not working. There was no lemonade (to have with our late noght scotch)in the bar on Sunday night when we returned to the hotel (apparently the lemonade tap was faulty).We were told that breakfast was served until 10.00am. on the Monday morning only to be told on that day , at 9.45am., sorry sir”
