8/10 Very good

Great location, clean and comfy room. We paid extra for a larger room, which was well worth it for us. We loved the quieter room slightly separated from the main block of the hotel. The dogs were given a warm welcome and staff were super friendly and helpful. Free parking was a bonus, particularly given the location. 1/2 hour walk into Oxford bit we chose to take the bus which was really easy and convenient as takes you straight into the city centre (great given the traffic restrictions in oxford). Shame to hear that you are changing the dog policy though Mercure, this will make a future stay ridiculously pricey if travelling with our two dogs.

10/10 Exceptional

We had such a lovely stay at this clean and friendly hotel. Breakfast was superb and the staff amazing. The hotel is ideally situated with free car parking and a few minutes walk to the bus stop where regular buses took you into Oxford. We dined in the restaurant of an evening and had well cooked meals. Service was a little slow but worth the wait. We would highly recommend and would love to visit again.

We were there during a heat wave and it was lovely to have a room with air conditioning! The staff was incredibly accomodating (thank you for being so sweet, Jasmine!), and the breakfast was lovely and suitable for guests with food allergies. The hotel's tailor theme is quite charming, and their location is away from the business of downtown Oxford. We took the bus into town when we needed to go there, which was quick and convenient. Even though the hotel was at full capacity when we stayed, our room was completely quiet.

8/10 Very good

Liam (front desk) was very friendly and staff were attentive. Parking was good with local buses taking us into Oxford. Good food selection including GF options. Only drawback was the size of the room. It did say compact so I should have checked the room size! Not enough room to swing a cat! Rather uncomfortable as I’m 5 10 and so is hubby. Ideal location for Oxford and in a nice rural area! Lovely walk down to the river and buses go every 10 mins.
