Location!!

Great breakfast buffet with fresh fruit, yogurt and all the fixings. Quaint atmosphere, we loved the patio. Perfect location near the train station. Ideal walking distance from downtown Oxford. Steve & his team were very accomodating.

This quaint hotel was a delight. Easy access to the station and local buses. The included breakfast was filling but there is a menu offering a “larger breakfast “ at reasonable pricing. Current railway works did not impact our sleeping. The stairs are very narrow so anyone with mobility issues would find it difficult. The owner an absolute delight and informative on what to do and where to visit. We would book again.

The hotel is in a perfect location in terms of proximity to the railway station and the city centre. The road development work makes the surrounding area a mess although the hotel garden is away from that and very pretty. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was very small with only just enough room to walk around the bed and the furniture was old. The continental buffet breakfast was very good, with a particularly good selection of fruit. It was perfectly adequate for a weekend city break.

Delightful, friendly welcoming manager. Small budget hotel slap bang next to the main railway station. Only hitch: noisy construction work late into the night.
