Lovely, traditional hotel with a large, free car park in a central location.
Pros:

Lovely, traditional building with large carpark. Central location within walking distance of Bicester Village and Bicester Railway Station. Exceptionally clean with crisp, white, cotton sheets on a very comfortable bed. Extremely pleasant staff who couldn’t do enough for me.

Cons:

Shower a little small and dated but it didn’t bother me as I’m not a large person.

Will Never Stay Again
Pros:

The location of the hotel was the best thing about it as some of our friends were travelling by train and it is an easy 10 minute walk from the Bicester Village Station. There were 3 or 4 decent restaurants nearby including a Pizza Express.
The younger staff and the owner were charming.

Cons:

Even on a Sunday, the breakfast ends at 9.30am on the dot. We arrived at 9am and were treated as if we were a bother.The waitress took exception to my asking whether the eggs were British Lion stamped even though the problem with eggs is well publicised and advice is to check. The poached eggs were inedible as undercooked. The whole hotel is very tired and a bit grubby in places.

Last minute overnight stay. It was extremely disappointing and overpriced. I will not be returning.
Pros:

It has a large car park and is centrally located.

Cons:

There is no signage from the car park to reception.

Upon arrival, the reception was unattended and I had to try and find a staff member. It is very old fashioned with a paper sign in book.

The hotel looks like it was last decorated in the 1970’s. It is very tired and has a confusing layout with a strange atmosphere.

The bedroom was large. The bed extremely soft and the television did not work. The bathroom was basic and old fashioned with tiles hanging off.

I could not find breakfast in the morning and wandered around trying to find a staff member. I eventually found the kitchen and was directed to a dark room in the middle of the building.

Breakfast was disorganised and extremely basic. The buffet was lacking and limited. I had to ask three times for a cup of tea.

Fine for one night work stay. for anything more I feel like the cost is a little much for what it is
Pros:

Staff were great, rear garden is a beautiful spot. Good homemade pie.

Cons:

Bed slightly uncomfortable, Needs some serious tlc. However this is a super old building and understand that to update it would be a huge cost.

Pros:

it is an older hotel so you have to accept it is a little bit dated. I booked an older hotel and that is what I got. However it was superb. My bed was comfy, the sheets were clean. Nice size room. The two things that really stood out at the hotel though was the staff and the food. We had an evening meal and it was lovely. I enjoyed every mouthful. All the staff were so friendly and helpful I genuinely could not fault them. I run a business so I know the importance of staff and their effect on customers. All the staff I met were a credit to the hotel and its owner.

Cons:

My bedroom floor creaked really loud everytime I moved. However as I said earlier it is an older hotel, I knew this when booking and creaky floorboards go with the territory.

Ok for travelling
Pros:

Clean and good size room. It's old and ready for a renovation. Breakfast was good and staff friendly. It was a convenient location for us.

Cons:

Room was hot from the recent summer temperatures, and it was almost impossible to cool it down. Fans were provided.
