Welcoming, great food, comfortable and clean
Pros:

Two exceptional, plentiful and freshly cooked breakfasts and an excellent evening meal. Without exception the staff were welcoming, friendly and really helpful. Clean and comfortable room with plentiful tea, coffee and milk (no need to ask for extra during our two nights stay). Nice walk along the Thames path two minutes away.

Cons:

The parking signs insist on payment (cash or app) on arrival but there's a login in reception that takes your registration to cover your stay. A little confusing if you don't know, but the day's parking that we didn't need to pay for was redeemable against a soft drink. The decor is definitely dated but that didn't detract from our enjoyment.

Lovely two night break in a pretty part of Oxfordshire
Pros:

The location was fabulous. Our room had a river view. Well located for looking round the pretty villages of Oxfordshire.
The staff were so helpful and friendly, and the food was delicious! I recommend the chicken supreme, garlic prawns for starter and the duck salad for starter too. All fabulous!
Breakfast was lovely with a good choice.

Amazing.
Pros:

The bathroom in our room was incredible. The staff were amazing and the way they were with my dog was incredible for his first time away.

Bed was also very comfy.

Cons:

I don’t have an complaints at all but we liked relaxing in the room and in hotels I’ve gone to for work I am able to sign in my apps and watch films where as I couldn’t here but the over all experience was amazing and there was plenty finances to walk even with a river of flown a bit.

Was good and lovely location .
Pros:

The room was large and modern but super hot even with the heating off .

Cons:

The lack of bar staff and one in particular just obviously didn’t want to be there and needs some serious retraining in customer service .

Location wonderful. Breakfasts very good. Actual accommodation very poor and so disappointing

ROOM A: Good standard. River view a bonus
Large, spacious & airy.
4 Poster double bed.
Large bathroom with bath & shower.
Wardrobe.
Fan. Hairdryer etc

ROOM B: very 3rd rate in comparison. Poor standard
Very small- less than half the size of Room A with noise of kitchen extractor fan all day/night.
Basic double bed
No wardrobe but a child's old wooden rail unit which didnt take a lady's dress.
Shower, toilet with overhead towel rails, hand basin + mirror all within a one square meter room. Very unsuitable.
No fan. No hairdryer. No hand soap
