The hotel was adequate, but parking was too expensive.
Pros:

Nice and clean. Adequate electric charging points. Variety at breakfast catering for all. Opportunity too take more beverages if required. Adequate size room.

Cons:

No free parking. The cost was expensive. The WiFi was not that fast. The room could have been a tad bigger considering it was an accessible room.

Pros:

Easy to find just off the main road, location great if you’re going to Bicester Village (park and ride opposite if needed). Lovely garden centre with great cafe next door, ideal after a long drive.
We had pizza at the hotel which was very good. Room good size, well equipped. Lovely modern bathroom with good quality toiletries.

Cons:

Only downside, pillows weren’t very comfortable.
A choice of eggs for breakfast would be nice there was only scrambled and we were told it wasn’t possible to have any other kind.

The air con was broken throughout the entire building. It was hot and uncomfortable in the room the entire night.
