Tired building,great staff
Pros:

The place is very tired and needs a lot of work
The room we had was small and at the front of the hotel and therefore noisy. The chair in the room was stained. In the bathroom the tap in the basin first would not give us cold water and then stopped working completely.
The staff were great and did what they could to help with bottles of water.

Pretty historic hotel and pretty great value too!
Pros:

Fantastic value for money! Staff were so friendly and helpful and the food delicious and again great value. All lovely and the - unexpected for me- Midsummer link very interesting. Only issue was shower not working but staff again were super helpful and having to have a bath not really a hardship. Have recommended to Barnaby fans for sure!

Don’t book a suite
Pros:

It’s a great location but seeing as I booked a suite I didn’t like being charged for parking…. Also the kettle was downstairs but tap up stairs…..the tv down stairs was not a smart tv….so to watch the smart tv I had to go upstairs!!
Lounge are downstairs was very uncomfortable

Pros:

The room was clean and pleasant with an outdoor seating area. The parking was convenient if not cheap.

I had intended to dine in the hotel restaurant on my one night stay, but there was no one around to welcome me, show me to a table, hand me a menu etc so I ate elsewhere.

Disappointing stay
Pros:

I have stayed here previously a few years ago now.But today it is looking rather tired.
It needs a refurbishment and bringing up to date. The tv didn't work very well the toiletries were in sufficient. there was a very loud noisey pump next to the bedroom wall.
The breakfast menu was very limited in its options.
Needfess to say i ate out every night during my stay.

Pros:

Breakfast quality was great but we were made to feel unwanted and uncomfortable on one of the three mornings as we had a dog even though the table we had sat at before was available. Policy needs to be made clear to visitors and staff as we paid extra for dog friendly

Pros:

The staff at this hotel are great. All staff were helpful, professional and welcoming. Unfortunately, the hotel needs major refurbishment. The decorations are tired and worn, paint chipped, the heating is very wasteful and old.
We were pleased that our room had been upgraded, but we had to be moved, as the heating pipes for the radiator in the corridor outside were situated right behind the bed, making noise which made it difficult to sleep. The staff were very helpful in offering another room, but the radiators are difficult to control, so we had to have a window open in the middle of winter.
It is a shame that such good staff are working in a run-down environment that needs total refurbishment. You will find many little quibbles, such as bottomed-out chairs that need re-upholstering, just because everything needs overhauling.
The location is excellent, right in the centre of Thame, with lots of great cafes, restaurants and pubs.
