This seems like an older hotel, however my room was updated and very clean. The staff is super friendly and sweet. They are courteous and do their best to make your stay pleasant from checking in to checking out. I recommend this hotel if you are ever in Oxford! Their breakfast is great but most of all is the cheerful, warm welcome you’ll receive from Wendy as you enter the dining room. What a gem she is! I’ll definitely stay here again.

This hotel is nicely situated in the pretty village of Iffley, a couple of miles south of Oxford City centre. The river Thames runs close by and the lock at Iffley is worth a visit. There are also a couple of pubs in the village. It is possible to cross the river at the lock and walk into the city centre along the towpath (about 40 minutes). The hotel is clean, fresh looking and the rooms are comfortable. The staff are all professional and provide a warm, friendly experience.

Disliked: Cleanliness
We arrived in the late PM and I went to have a bath. The plug wouldn't press closed because there was a human turd stuck in it. I was nearly sick at the discovery, Reception changed out room but it was MUCh smaller and we had no compensation discount offered or anything. I will be emailing your complaints department to help us hold them to account.

Clean and tidy hotel on the outskirts of Oxford. It is an easy walk to the centre and we preferred the location. The room was spacious and comfortable. The hotel has a nice bar area with an outside terrace. Would definitely recommend.

My room was very comfortable and large for a double bed. I really liked the decor! The bathroom walk-in shower was very nice and there was even a makeup mirror and shelf for toiletries. I stayed in Elm House at the back of the property, so it was quiet. It’s very easy to get the bus from Iffley Turn and go into Oxford. The staff were friendly and helpful. I will definitely stay here again next time I visit.

Good but some drawbacks
Previously have loved the hotel and it's still great location and lovely staff. Brilliant breakfast too. Downside was our room 115 I think was basically a windowless box, the only natural light was near the door down a corridor, if we had been staying for a special occasion it would have ruined it, we were just passing through so was fine. Room was comfortable and clean. Check out was ok, we were asked for extra money despite having already paid, after explaining I'd paid they cancelled the extra charges. The extra wasn't for breakfast or taxes (which I'd be happy to pay for) so felt this might mean other people pay without challenging. Might be a hotels.com issue so reluctant to blame hotel. Overall I'd give the hotel 5 out of 5 but make sure you ask for a room with good lighting and check the bill in checkout.

What a lovely hotel! It is located on the outskirts of Oxford but is really well connected by bus, so this is not an issue. We walked into town and it was a really nice 20 min walk. Very green and very peaceful. The hotel is super clean and really well maintained..The thing that makes this hotel so good is however the staff! What an amazing team! Really kind and professional. Really happy to help! We will definitely be back. Thank you.

Single person traveler. Very clean, spacious and updated. The property has a lift which was always prompt. I spent only one night in a double and wish I could have stayed longer. Bed was comfortable and the shower was delightful with a rain shower and a hand held. Easy to control room temperature for my liking. Bathroom lighting was fantastic with a magnified makeup mirror. The hairdryer actually had a cord long enough to reach from the outlet to a mirror which was a first on my trip. Breakfast was very good, plentiful with both hot and cold options including a full English breakfast or cooked to order. Fantastic for the value. Unfortunately, I got in much later than I planned and was unable to explore the area so I cannot comment on location other than to say it was quiet and with lovely grounds. The Oxford clothing theme of the hotel is done in a classy and clever way. I will definitely stay here on my next visit. Highly recommend.
