Bicester hotels

Pros: Jan it’s our waitress was exceptional, I was very poorly she made me ginger tea with honey and lemons

Pros: Very modern and clean with a relaxed feeling.

Cons: It was all fantastic, no negative feedback

Pros: Excellent location for Bicester village Good facilities Large communal areas

Cons: Ddidn't realise could access 10% discount at Bicester village

Pros: very lovely break with my partner and very relaxing. Spa facilities were excellent, one of the best we have visited in our opinion. room was spacious and clean as was the bar restaurant. Bar staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly especially the lady which served our drinks (sorry i don't recall your name) but unfortunately the same can't be said for the lady at the spa reception. Bar food was delicious especially the fries. Overall we had a great time and would definitely go back but only if we manage to book a night for a better price as we found a 1 nights stay at the end of January to be rather overpriced. Thanks for accommodating us :)

Cons: Spa reception lady not friendly or informative slightly overpriced for a 1 night stay end of January

Pros: Comfy beds. Very friendly staff in bar.

Cons: We had no water at all in our room in the morning, so could not wash, shower, brush our teeth or make tea. Totally acceptable

Pros: Stunning barn conversion hotel , spotlessly clean , and very friendly and helpful staff , could not fault it in anyway There was a wedding ceremony at the hotel on the day we arrived and the restaurant was unfortunately closed but when we explained that we weren’t informed of this prior to coming the manager spoke to the chef and he prepared a menu just for the both of us from the main menu , we had the restaurant to ourselves and the food was out of this world accompanied by a free bottle of wine as an apology for not being advised of the wedding party in advance . They went above and beyond the call of duty for us and I cannot thank them enough

Pros: Welcoming staff throughout the hotel, large comfortable room and good choice on the menu in the restaurant in the evening. Excellent breakfast.

Cons: N/A

Pros: Staff, food, proximity to Bicester village and Oxford

Cons: Pillows! The 2 pillows provided on each bed were much too thick. If the pillows had been more comfortable this place would get 10/10 but they really spoilt our nights sleep I’m sad to say. Hopefully the hotel will take these comments on board and change to thinner pillows or at least one of each type to suit all guests.

Pros: Breakfast was good, with plenty of choice and freshly cooked. Nice big room, comfortable bed. Hotel was centrally located. Helpful staff.

Cons: Traffic noise. Toilet took ages to re-fill and shower had no height adjustment & low flow.

Pros: Location, hotels restaurant, nice and small hotel with reasonable price if you pay less than 100 gbp.

Cons: We discovered the next morning, after our night's stay, that the pillow from the other side very dirty (from makeup). The wooden floor under the carpet, is very very noisy. So during night this is a problem, if the one goes to the bathroom, the other...wakes up from the noise. No elevator for the first floor is a problem if you have heavy luggages...

Pros: Great experience. The location is great for shopping and day trip to Bleinham palace.

Cons: The decoration of the room can be updated a little bit.

Pros: Everyone was really friendly. The glasses for the soft drinks at breakfast were a perfect size! Nothing more annoying than having those small glasses you have to keep refilling after one mouthful!

Pros: Nice situation

Cons: I was told I could dine in the evening only to find it could not

Pros: Great location good walking and local pub. Great breakfast

Pros: Location was perfect as we were visiting friends in the area. Grounds are lovely

Cons: Bedroom was functional. Think they should put photographs on the website of the bedrooms rather than just the grounds. It is conference facility with basic room fittings, adequate.

Pros: The breakfast was lovely only issue was that on the second morning coffee was not hot!

Cons: That what was shown as your ensuite when you booked was not what you got when you checked in!

Pros: location Excellent very Scenic... Breakfast was help yourself and the variety of food on offer Brilliant... there was a bar facility and although We were told it might not be available all the time ... We were able to take advantage on this occasion which was a bonus.... Staff we came into contact with such as the night porter and reception girls were very friendly and helpful...

Cons: Nothing...

Cons: Sunday check-out is 10am (breakfast 8-10) which we found to be too early (check-in is at 3pm so there should be plenty of time to get the rooms prepared). We were 10 minutes late and received a "stern" phone call. The room had cobwebs in all of the corners.

Pros: The view

Cons: No air conditioning, no bathroom light. Even after reporting it to a member of staff it wasn't fixed. Grubby carpets.

Pros: Old quirky historic and very cosy

Pros: Service was always with a smile and the food was to a very high standard.

Cons: Only criticism was service at breakfast was a little slow.

Pros: Location was ideal and peaceful. Staff were very polite and helpful. Able to park my car in front of my room. Room ticked all of the boxes. If you needed additional tea/coffee items, the staff were very much accommodating.

Pros: Perfect location. Hotel is very nice and right next to Blenheim palace.

Cons: As we was on the ground floor we could hear noise from above room with it being an old building. Floorboards creaking etc

Pros: I have stayed in this hotel before and love the location/surrounding area. This was the reason we chose to stay again even though we had a wedding at Heythrop Park Resort. Not sure if I would again though

Cons: Hotel staff did not seem interested or helpful. Fire Alarm test on a Monday at 10.30am which is something we were not advised on check in so this woke us up. It went off 3 times and we left our room each time. I mentioned this on check out and the gentleman said we should have read the fire sign. Given a complimentary late check out until 12 which I confirmed with reception on check in then only to get a call in the room to say we should have checked out at 11.30am. Room service no hot food just sandwiches which aren’t the best but pricey. On check out the staff didn’t really acknowledge our issues and when how my stay was I told him the above which he did not like. I prefer to give honest feedback and feel the staff should take this on board.

Pros: Lovely room. Very comfortable and cosy with a good bed and plenty of hot water. Friendly Head lady on at breakfast. Plenty of gluten free options.

Cons: Very slow breakfast. Waited along time for the breakfast to arrive. Not very comfortable restaurant or bar area. No evening menu until the restaurant opened at 1900 and then very limited choice.

Pros: Bed was nice and comfy. The location is very good.Food was okay but I think a bit overpriced.

Pros: The service was absolutely excellent throughout our stay. The menu was varied and catered for all tastes. The venison stroganoff was really delicious. The ambience in bar was relaxing - lovely twinkly lights, cushions, candles and cosy corners!

Cons: Nothing at all!

Pros: A one night stay but wish I could have stayed longer. Stylish rooms in a lovely country pub in a good location. Cosy, welcoming laid back vibe. Had an excellent lunch in the lovely restaurant. All staff were friendly and efficient.

Cons: Everything was wonderful. However, I was in a ground floor room in the cottage which is located on the roadside. As a solo traveller I would have felt more comfortable being in the main hotel building. I shall be visiting Kidlington again next year and as it is likely I will return to this hotel I shall check the location of the room before booking.

Pros: Bar staff and waitresses are superb.

Pros: Good decor friendly staff. Food in restaurant good.

Pros: I didn't have breakfast as I was meeting friends elsewhere . Location is great, and it has parking. The room was at the back of the hotel, rather than overlooking the road, so it was quite quiet. It;'s more of a pub with rooms, but suited me fine

Pros: Five minute walk to Blenheim palace

Cons: We was in room 4 barely slept as we was above a vent of some sort constant humming noise all night. Didn’t have breakfast second morning as I felt unwell, yet they wouldn’t refund us. We ate in the pub and was put off by the noise of a child creating in the bar (belonging to one of the staff members) We stayed at The Star previously so much nicer

Pros: The staff were very friendly. The pub was very pretty

Cons: I wouldn't advise anyone have a meal there. We had a different salad each which both mainly consisted of rocket with little/no dressing and paid over the top for them

Pros: The breakfast met our needs.

Cons: There was nothing you could do about it but there was a great deal of traffic noise. The room, number 1, needs secondary double glazing and heavy curtains.

Pros: breakfast was great location good

Pros: It was in a convenient location in the centre of Woodstock. Staff friendly and helpful.

Cons: The threadbare stained carpets and nowhere to put anything in the shower room, not even a shelf above the sink. The shower took nearly 5 mins to get hot. The rooms really need updating.

Pros: Staff were lovely; nice cosy inn, good food, quiet location.

Cons: Mattress felt ok but loud & crunchy when one turns over!

Pros: The place where it's situated is in lovely surroundings very nice place.

Cons: We always stay here when we visit Oxford. .slightly dissapointed this time seems to have gone down from when we stayed just before Xmas. .The 1.staff that wad there just said good morning but we're very reluctant to hold a conversation we were the only ones for breakfast very limited choice and much smaller portions than previously... think we were the only ones staying usually very busy but i do think staff need to communicate with customers more ...it's a shame as it's a lovely place...

Pros: Excellent breakfast, friendly, helpful staff, everywhere very clean and excellent location for Blenheim and Oxford. Would certainly recommend.

Cons: Nothing considering what we paid.

Pros: We missed breakfast this time, but usually it's very good.

Cons: nothing specific.

Pros: Room was larger than I expected it to be and the beds comfortable. The bathroom had been modernised to a good standard, not easy for an older building. We decided to have a "carpet picnic" in our room for dinner and there was a supermarket located less than 5 minutes walk away. The breakfast included in the room rate was provided in the co-located cafe/restaurant, which was good quality.

Cons: Check in process was not ideal. Although my booking confirmation stated that check in was 2-6pm, the office was unattended when we arrived at a little after 5pm. I had to ring a couple of the different numbers listed on the doorway before getting an answer, from someone located at a different property. When the girl did arrive she was pleasant and the check in went smoothly from there. Just not a great experience when you've been travelling all day and you're feeling tired.

Pros: Bed very comfortable

Cons: Lighting for putting makeup on

Pros: It was fab! Very clean, great facilities, stunning breakfast Very pleasant staff

Pros: location and breakfast and friendly staff

Cons: tiny TV; shower not effective and noise from other bedrooms distracting.

Pros: Excellent quality and value for money

Cons: None

Pros: Bed was like home

Cons: Our room was smaller so should of cost less. Some residents in late were noisy , chatting and banged doors . Also in the morning people up early didn’t consider guests in rooms asleep !!!!!

Pros: The location was ideal for us.

Cons: The only downside was when other guests walked along the corridor to their rooms it felt as if they were in the room with you it was that noisy

Pros: Nice clean room, good tv. Ample parking. Near main road.

Cons: The way the manager talked to me when I told him I did not like the food. I ordered a hotpot (regular price £12.95). What I got was a tiny bowl of stew with sliced boiled potato on top. On the plate were unappetizing green beans and carrots (boiled from frozen?). When I said that this was not hot pot as the potatoes need to be thinly sliced and cooked with the meat I was told that "this is how we do it". I showed him many photos of hot pots on google but he was having none of it and argued and was nasty. I returned it to the kitchen but he told the lady at the till 'she's paying for it!'. The other lady behind the bar was angry with me too as the 'chef' was her son. Very unprofessional, nasty, aggressive and an altogether horrible experience. I was tempted to call the Police because of the way I was treated (single woman alone). Please note: there was no swearing however I have never had such a bad experience in hospitality.

Pros: The room was quiet, modern and clean. Bed was very comfortable. Staff were helpful.

Cons: Nothing really, it exceeded my expectations.

Pros: Breakfast need to available from at least 7 am, I did not have time to have a cooked breakfast because I had to be at work at 8 am.

Pros: All good, no issues to report, check in was easy and pain free, finding the room, again pain free. Room was clean and tidy, with everything you would expect. Nice touch having access to SKY. Food is at a very good level, good service overall. thanks for everything.

Cons: nothing to improve on really.

Pros: Cracking venue staff were amazing and food was great value and tasty, the breakfast kept me going all day

Cons: The room could have been warm on arrival

Pros: Atmosphere and ambiance were good

Cons: Believe there had been a smoker in the room previous to our stay

Pros: Very nice staff. Very convenient location.

Pros: Very good value for money.

Pros: we love the place, it's wonderful. the staff are kind, and the chef is awsome.

Pros: Breakfast and the bar area in general. Helpful and friendly staff, and a very good, attentive, breakfast cook. Nothing was too much trouble for him.

Cons: The floor area around rooms 5,6 and 7 needs some work. Late arrivals making the whole floor creak and the paper thin walls let you listen to the next rooms TV with ease. Beds seem to be made out of pallets.

Pros: The rooms are well appointed, there is plenty of parking and the location, on the canal is super. The breakfast was passable although a little pricey at £10.

Cons: The whole place, inside and outside is tired and untidy and above all very cold. On a night off heavy frost, I slept in my clothes. The bar was populated by men effing and jeffing and it wasn't conducive to go down and sit on the sofas, which, by the fire could have been lovely.

Pros: The triple room was very clean, spacious, quiet and well equipped. The beds were very comfortable. We had a very friendly welcome from the staff. Thank you for the benefit of your local knowledge. The food was excellent and we enjoyed eating our supper by the open fire. Clean and spacious bathroom, the bath was a bonus after a long drive!

Pros: Staff were very helpful.

Pros: Breakfast was excellent.

Pros: enjoyed dinner and breakfast and friendlyness of the manager and staff - enjoyed the open fire place - hotel was easy to find

Cons: located a little too far out of Woodstock which meant we had to use the car to visit Windsor central as opposed to leaving the car and walking we didn't realise this at the time of booking - also free WIFI only worked in the bar area not in your room - no real problem but just a little inconvenient

Pros: friendly helpful staff, good beer.

Cons: noisy pipework

Pros: Staff helpful, friendly and 100% willing to help. Food excellent and great value. superb.

Pros: The staff were t.he best part as they were so friendly and the food was lovely

Cons:

Cons:

Pros: Friendly and helpful staff

Cons:

Pros: Nothing

Cons: It was a motel with small dowdy rooms attached to a pub. breakfast in the bar. It is 1.8 miles from the centre of Woodstock. Not worth the AA stars.

Pros: There was ample parking, the room was clean and comfortable and the food was excellent. we were visiting Blenheim Palace so the Hotel was within easy reach (3min) of Woodstock and the Palace.

Cons:
