Ottima soluzione per vedere Oxford soggiornando in un elegante maniero immerso nella campagna
Pros:

Bellissima struttura immersa nella campagna poco lontano dal centro. Bellissimo affaccio sul Tamigi fra cigni ed anatre selvatiche. Possibilità di raggiungere Oxford a piedi o in bicicletta tramite un sentiero che costeggia il fiume.
Colazione buona ed abbondante. Anche il ristorante è stato molto apprezzato sia per la cucina inglese che, a sorpresa, per la pizza. Ambienti confortevoli e la sala di ingresso, dove era possibile prendere un aperitivo ed anche mangiare, davvero molto bella e rilassante
Letti comodi e stanza funzionale

Cons:

Mi aspettavo una camera più spaziosa. Forse riguardava la conformazione della nostra, la prima del corridoio, ma le dimensioni mi sono sembrate un po' ridotte. Anche il bagno era piuttosto piccolo benché fornito di tutto.

Stayed before. Would always book this hotel.
Pros:

Stayed before - modern, clean but rustic too - a perfect blend. Staff always helpful and rooms always good size. Food and breakfast excellent. Helpful staff

Cons:

Small things to improve - parking arrangements could be better but most hotels outsource their parking now. Air Con wasn’t as good as I thought it was going to be - couldn’t adjust the fan. Tap in bathroom a bit hard to turn on and off - just a bit of maintenance (room 27)

The pool and leisure facilities were perfect added bonus to this hotel which we used.
Pros:

We booked a king size bed room for ourselves the small balcony was an added bonus that we did not expect. This was perfect we enjoyed sitting out overlooking the vast gardens of the hotel.
My daughter had a standard double and found this room to be really spacious with a sofa which she enjoyed lounging on using her I pad.

Cons:

Perhaps the dogs allowed in the hotel area could be limited.
One point three dogs in reception became a little bit excited which can be annoying to “non dog lovers”

Superbe hôtel, parfait pour visiter Oxford et ses environs et se ressourcer.
Pros:

Tout. Très bel hôtel, au calme. Le personnel est très professionnel et aimable. Les équipements sportifs et le restaurant sont très bien. De plus, un arrêt de bus à 100 mètres de l'hôtel ( ligne 3A) permet de rejoindre le centre d'Oxford en 20 mn.

Cons:

Rien

Would consider staying there again.
Pros:

The room was very nice, only room on the loft top floor, secluded and quiet. Very spacious and bed was comfortable. Air conditioning worked great.

Cons:

Unfortunately, since it was the top floor there was no elevator and would not recommend for anyone with mobility issues or extremely heavy luggage.
