Ok stay in Oxford

Stayed in Elm house at the end of the drive away from the main hotel. The building smelt of dogs and the room was fine. Aircon was noisy. On arrival I was put in a standard double despite booking a king but this was rectified then I contacted reception
Tim, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very well situated property with beautiful indoor and outdoor spaces. The Elm house with only 15 units was perfect for a cozy but well-amenitized stay. Warm decor and great staff.

I had a lovely stay. Rooms were nice, although my shower area as a bit of a squeeze, especially when you consider I'm not a tall person at all, but that was OK. Comfy beds, quiet area. Friendly staff. Nice walks to the river.

The hotel staff were professional and courteous. Our room was awesome--quiet, convenient to a direct bus into town (Rte 3 or 3A), good walking distance to pub (Prince of Wales). Food was also good.
Amy, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

A beautiful, serene and quiet respite, just a short distance from the center of Oxford’s heritage. So many to assist us in our stay, but Wendy made sure our breakfast was the perfect ending to a perfect stay! -Your Friends From Boston

6/10 Good

Great hotel, be specific with your needs and pref

A frequent user of this hotel as it is good location for my work trips. Always love the beds and the breakfast is varied and good quality. Downsides, very few rooms have a bath and as a solo traveller I’m often put on the main corridor so am frequently woken by other guests running up and down corridor/shouting at night and the cleaner at 5:30/6am bashing the wall with their broom or mop. If staying be really clear with your preferences or needs.

Great Location for Oxford

The staff were all friendly and helpful. the hotel is well appointed and very clean. A great location only a short walk from the lovely Iffley village and lock on the Thames
Trevor, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

we stayed here for a couple of nights whilst seeing a show in Oxford. The hotel is in a quiet location approx 1.8 miles from Oxford City centre. There is a very pleasant walk along the Thames into the city (takes approx 30 mins)or the hotel is well served with several buses. The staff were very friendly, the room was nice and breakfasts were also very good. If returning to Oxford, i would more than happily use the hotel again

Don’t pay for the upgrade!

Dirty carpets, broken shower. Supposed to be an upgraded room but really wish I hadn’t paid the extra. Bloody good breakfast though.

Fantastic stay from start to finish, free parking on site which was great for us. Staff were friendly and helpful, only stayed for 2 nights but were given fresh towels on our second day which was amazing. Lovely walk along the river into the centre (note it does take 35-40 minutes).
