Great location, helpful friendly staff and good value. We enjoyed our stay very much
Pros:

Excellent location in walkable distance to Bicester Village and many other shops and a fab garden centre too! Clean and bright areas and rooms, friendly staff.

Cons:

Odd hospital like table and chair in the rooms!
Understand why the car park had to be controlled due to the proximity of shopping and businesses but thought residents should be able to park for free.
