I've stayed here before and always enjoyed it, this time I noticed how quiet they were, but no comments when I checked in. Got to my room which seemed clean and tidy but the TV didn't work properly and the remote didn't work, gave up with it. The toilet seat was detached from the toilet and there was no hot water. On check out I complained and was told that they had been closed because the business had been sold, they had only been open again for 2 days, no apology or offer of a partial refund, it was though it was my fault, very strange attitude. Hope it will get better in time, it was a nice place to stay.

We stayed for one night here to visit Blenheim palace as it was so close, we were warmly welcomed on arrival and showed to our room which was lovely and cosy and comfortable. It was a Saturday evening and we hadn’t booked a table for food but they kindly squeezed us in even though they were very busy, the food was very good as was the breakfast the next morning, there was a continental breakfast laid out and we had the choice of full English or different types of eggs, we chose to have omelettes which were delicious. All in all it was a great place to stay and I’d highly recommend it.

Ca Elle’s by them but no refund

They cancelled my booking as they had changed ownership but I got no refund they had told me to cancel but it was a non refund booking I suspect that has resulted in no refund I expect a FULL refund

As previously responded, we cannot review this hotel because when we arrived after receiving confirmation of our booking and payment the hotel was closed so we had to find last minute accommodation elsewhere.

Our stay was enjoyable but access to the upstairs cottage room was not easy but once there the room was nicely furnished. The bathroom did not have a shower or shower attachment on the bath. The lampshade on the standard lamp had fallen of its mounting. The worst aspect was that outside the cottage wisteria had been allowed to grow accros the room window so that the was virtually no natural light.

On arrival there was staff outside smoking and drinking,the young man who seemed to be in charge was a university student ,apparently the hotel manager had been dismissed for some criminal activity so the young man tried to do his best,there seemed to be a lack of staff and he was obviously filling in as best he could,at the bar there wasn’t any Whiskey or Brandy,at breakfast there wasn’t any bacon ,salmon or porridge,the room was nice ,large bed etc etc not the cleanest we stayed in but it was ok,food in the restaurant was again ok,it seems that a new owner of the hotel was due in September and because of this the hotel had been allowed to let the previous good standards go,generally there didn’t seem to be anybody in charge and staff were running the hotel,I understand that the hotel was previously well regarded and hopefully once the new owners take over it will get back to its previous high standards.
