Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is ideally located next to the second oldest church in England, great for exploring the Cotswolds. The rooms are not exactly like the ones pictured, but they do have a small patio where you can relax with a glass of wine, and an extra single bed. The staff provides excellent service with warm hospitality, housekeeping, and even a welcome drink. However, the dining experience could be improved with more variety, although the sweet cakes served are a nice touch. Facilities are satisfactory.
The hotel offers a basic and decent stay with some pros and cons. The rooms can get very hot in upper levels, but they come with decent amenities for a fairly basic bedroom as shown in the pictures. The service includes housekeeping, laundry, and a welcome drink. The location is convenient to visit the second oldest church in England and explore the beautiful neighboring village of Witney with a great gastronomic pub. However, having a meal in the hotel's restaurant is not an option. The dining experience provides many options but lacks fresh fruit, although it serves warm toast and a wok of prawns. Overall, the facilities are satisfactory.
The hotel is situated in a lovely area with a view, offering rooms with character and an extra single bed. The service was excellent, including housekeeping and a welcome drink. However, the dining could have been improved with some fresh fruit options. The facilities were well-maintained, and the location is ideal for those wanting to explore the surroundings.
