Food great, room for £170 expected a little better.

6.0

The food here is really good, it’s literally a few mins drive from Bicester Village, super quiet and relaxing

Pub ran out of beer which was a shock, although rooms are spotless they could use some maintenance as there were flickering lights, and loose shower fittings.

We really enjoyed it

9.0

The rooms are beautiful, and the beer garden is lovely, the food in the restaurant was amazing, we also had a great breakfast

The only thing wrong with the room was it was far too hot, we did stay in the heatwave and there was a fan in the room, but it just didn’t cool the room at all. Air con would be a great addition as everything else about this place is absolutely great

Sadly it was neither comfortable nor restful.

8.0

All quite as one would like.

Alas we were staying during a particular period of hot weather so the 'enclosure' style of some of the rooms around the courtyard used for open-air dining meant that ventilation was only possible by having the door open! The sound system was still operating way past 11pm..... The portable fan in the room could not cope with the heat of course and the south-facing large windows (very nice normally) had not had their curtains drawn during the day so......A rather uncomfortable night.
