Nice stay

Had to get 2 rooms, but only used one as traveled with family of 3 small kids. The rooms were on different floors and not connected, so did not have use for one of the rooms although we had to pay for it. Location was ok, not in the center but walkable. Might consider staying here again in the future, but with some reservations.

Large bedroom and bathroom. Everything was clean and well maintained. Only downside was that I’d hoped to book a massage in the spa whilst my husband was in a meeting, but when I rang to book before arriving, I was told it was closed on Mondays. When I mentioned it at checkout, I was told it was open!

A very comfortable hotel with excellent staff set in attractive grounds close to the Thames. Plenty of parking, if expensive, but this is Oxford of course. The food is very good and available all day. The coffee table in our bedroom showed a bit of wear and tear and there were many doorways where the frames had been damaged then carefully painted over without repairing the wood. Probably only noticeable to a perfectionist! Two electric car chargers were also a reason for choosing the hotel. More would be welcome since cars take all night to charge on these and EVs are much more common now.
