Disappointed
Pros:

Nice hotel

Cons:

I ate poached eggs at breakfast and nothing else during my stay as I got the worse food poisoning of my life. I emailed the hotel and had an email saying they were investigating it then nothing.

Stanze topaia da 330 euro a notte.
Pros:

Il contesto

Cons:

La nostra camera n. 413 era indegna di un 4 stelle, minuscola, senza un comodino, con un vuoto malmesso al posto del frigo.

Pricey but fancy hotel.
Pros:

Very fancy hotel. Room was very spacious and came with the advertised amenities. Parking included in price. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Quite pricey considering it's non-central location. Shower water-pressure could have been better.

Excellent !
Pros:

L’hôtel est très joli.

Le personnel est tout simplement adorable, que ce soit à l'accueil, au bar ou au restaurant, c'était un sans faute !

L'hôtel dispose de son propre parking gratuit, le supplément pour animaux de compagnie nous a seulement coûté 10£ (le moins cher de tout notre voyage).

La chambre était parfaite :
- Spacieuse
- Smart TV
- Bouilloire avec quelques biscuits et de quoi se faire du chocolat chaud
- Lit très confortable
- Belle vue sur les jardins
- Salle de bain très grande et magnifique (marbre)
- Clim

Nous avons dîner au restaurant de l'hôtel :
- une entrée au crevettes excellente
- un fish & chips excellent
- une pizza excellente
Pour environ 50£, mais vraiment de très bonne qualité.

Cons:

Pas d’ascenseur.

Peut-être un poil cher, mais l'hôtel était parfait alors... on ne peut pas tout avoir !

1 night extension to group tour.
Pros:

Quit location out of town. Enjoyable meals overall. Pleasantly comfortable.

Cons:

The scrambled egg appeared to be made from powder and was presented in a deep pan as if a 'cake'. However, other egg choices were enjoyable.

Modern quiet hotel on outskirts of Oxford.
Pros:

Hotel was in a rural quiet area. We had a lovely large room with bath, hot drink facilities. Just had breakfast here with a wide choice of continental and freshly cooked options.Modern hotel

Cons:

A bit further from Oxford than we thought and opted for Uber transfers rather than the local buses but this would not put us off returning if we visit Oxford again.
