Cotswolds Hotel & Spa
Really friendly staff, sorted us Sunday dinner at last minute and served us in bar so we could watch football. Couldn’t fault it.

Linton Lodge Hotel, BW Signature Collection
A great location for attending Wolfson College, but a 40 minute walk from Oxford city centre, with no shops or anything else. The property is clean and serviceable, but with no frills.
