Would recommend this hotel outside Oxford.

This is a very comfortable hotel about 10 minutes from Oxford. My husband and I stayed for only one night, but found the location convenient since we had a car. The hotel is as good as any Holiday Inn I have stayed in North America. The only complaint is having to pay for parking in their parking lot. The bed was comfortable, nice lobby and breakfast very good.
