The town of Wendlebury is not the nicest place, but the room was comfortable. Service for dinner and upon checkin was a bit hit and miss to be honest. We couldn't get water with dinner. Had to wait forever to order. But the morning staff was nice and breakfast was okay.

Room was overall very good but let down by shower drain blocked with hair etc. Bed was comfortable but the underblanket was stained. Staff were friendly and helpful although the waiting staff in the dining room should have been more attentive. Details meant as constructive criticisms. Overall very good and we would stay again.

We only had a brief one night stay on our way to Devon but enjoyed every minute of it - we ate in the restaurant and both loved our meals , both the venison and the mushroom pie were excellent , the only downside was that was so comfortable and quiet in our room that we slept in and didn’t have time for breakfast. Next time for sure

Beautiful location, we chose this place because we were going shopping to Bicester Village. We can recommend here if your going shopping as this place was only 2 miles away. The hotel was fabulous, food, staff and atmosphere added to a very enjoyable stay!
