Would stay again
Pros:

Staff were excellent as was breakfast, a wide variety of choice, all well stocked

Cons:

Booked 2x rooms. Our room was absolutely fine but the aircon/heating didn’t work in mother-in-law’s room (assume that was why a heater was left in there) and there were drink rings on the bed side table that hadn’t been cleaned.

Perfect overnight stay
Pros:

Perfectly situated for Bicester Village for us. Immaculately clean, comfortable and relaxing.
Breakfast included with hot bacon and beans, and don’t overlook the incredible facility of a REAL toaster, not a conveyor toaster!!
Loved the complimentary toiletries and unlimited top ups for inroom tea and coffee.
Extremely pleasant, polite and helpful staff
