Lovely setting, but

Lovely setting, room relatively clean, carpets had a lot of dirty stains, cobwebs in the roof, bad drain smell in the bathroom, walls very thin , could hear morning alarms from the room next door, also not aware of the hidden cost for using the small swimming pool ,

Perfect quiet family getaway

We had an amazing stay at Minster Mill! The staff was incredibly helpful and accommodating and made our stay especially enjoyable. We visited with our three young sons and they loved exploring the grounds and playing outside. It was a beautiful property and very welcoming to our family.

Amazing stay in a quiet little village about 20 minutes drive from Oxford, Burton on the water. 5 minute drive from Burford which is amazing and 5 minutes from Diddly Sqt. Farm and pub. The Swan pub opposite is so cosy.

Ok, but nothing special

I appreciate that any hotel stay at Xmas bears an uplift in room rate and we were staying up attend a Xmas function, but I do not feel the room met our expectations for the cost.

We had a lovely stay at the Minster mill, we have been a few times before the renovation and enjoyed it more the first few times. However, there were some positives this time around, the food was lovely in the Wildling restaurant. The young gentleman serving us was very nice at the restaurant and Lucy was awesome too, she made the evening very enjoyable and was great company! The room overall did look quite tired despite the renovations and lacked a little character however, the outdoor terrace in the room was lovely. The area is lovely and there are some very pretty places to visit so overall still a very positive experience. On previous visits we have brought our pet Cat along for the stay as this hotel was meant to be pet friendly, however this time around we were told by reception it was only exclusively dog friendly not pet friendly which we found a little frustrating as this was never an issue in the past here or other pet friendly hotels.

Beautiful hotel, few issues

Hotel and room itself (junior suite) were stunning, however unfortunately a few things took the shine off. One particular staff member in the restaurant on our arrival day was very rude and made us feel very uncomfortable, to the point I was actually quite upset and we left the area. Very unnecessary and we were made to feel unwelcome there, despite only one customer being in the restaurant at the time. Room itself was lovely, a few minor issues with a broken shower and item missing from the minibar, finding someone else’s socks in the drawer. King size bed was two beds pushed together - no problem with this but both slightly different heights with a dip in the middle so not ideal. Majority of staff we came across were friendly and polite. Such a shame about a few things that put a negative slant on the whole stay, which has been for a special occasion and only our second night away without the kids in 4 years.
