Merveilleux hôtel !
Pros:

Charmant petit hôtel avec de jolies chambres accueillantes et parfaitement équipées, agrémenté d’un jardin fleuri où peut se prendre le petit déjeuner qui est en forme de buffet très varié et de qualité exceptionnelle

Cons:

Petit souci d’eau trop chaude dans la douche d’une des chambres, peut-être imputable à la canicule ambiante

Ruhiger, gut gelegener Ausgangspunkt für Oxfordbesuch
Pros:

Das Hotel ist ruhig gelegen in einem schönen Haus in der Nähe des Cherwell Boat House. In die Innenstadt 20 Minuten zu Fuß oder per Bus sehr praktisch zu erreichen. Das Frühstück gibt es im Wintergarten mit Blick auf einen charmanten Garten, wo man im Sommer auch draußen sitzen kann.

Elegante dimora con parcheggio
Pros:

Bella camera molto spaziosa e con utilissimi gadget (ciabattine, cialde per il caffè, biscotti…) comodissimo il parcheggio incluso, stupenda la sala colazione con vetrate (volendo si può mangiare anche in giardino) e con tanti cibi caldi e freddi disponibili.

Cons:

Non è proprio in centro, ma in camera c’è la descrizione dettagliata dei mezzi da prendere e dove pranzare/cenare nei dintorni.

excellent location for visiting Oxford, friendly and courtous staff. Good breakfast
Pros:

nice and spacious room and good location in easy walking distance of both Summer town and city centre- good for bus too. Friendly staff, good breakfast. Have tea in the room and a fridge was very welcome. Love the fact that we could sit in the garden.

Cons:

we stayed 10 nights, I was surprised that the beds were not made 3 of the days in the middle of our stay.
Breakfast room a bit crowded for the number of guests
