    Very good, but expensive.

    Lovely quiet location in old Headington. Easy to get into Oxford city centre on the buses. Room very comfortable. The staff were all very friendly and helpful.

    I made several enquiries about the availability of parking, none of which were answered. In the end I came by train, so it was no longer relevant, but the only reply I got to a direct email was "we are looking forward to seeing you", which didn't answer my question. I can't comment on the breakfast as I didn't have any. The evening meal was very good, although I don't like food served on a slate "platter", a bit gimmicky and unnecessary.

    A terrific spot for a visit to Oxford.

    All of the staff were very welcoming and helpful. Easy access to central Oxford via bus or taxi. The rooms are well-appointed and the beds are very comfortable. Breakfasts are cooked to order and very tasty. All in all, a great place to stay.

    Nothing.

    Una buena opción si estás recorriendo la zona en auto para evitar la congestión de Oxford

    Las instalaciones son como las ves en las fotos. Habitacion comoda y personal servicial

    Pésimo wi fi en la habitación. En mi caso la habitación estaba arriba de la cocina y hasta las 23 hs hubo bastante ruido. Tener en cuenta que para ir a Oxford se debe caminar aproximadamente 5 cuadras para tomar un bus. Distancia total hasta el centro de Oxford ( alrededor de 3 km)
