We liked the clean, modern style of the place - in particular the dining room. And the friendly efficiency of the reception staff - also the excellent food.

This was the first time staying here, rooms are large and clean with comfy beds but when we arrived in the early evening the room was quite cold and even after turning up the heat it didn't seem to do much. During the night while in bed the heating seem to come on and really warm the room up, not really the time it is needed..Overall it was a good stay

Great overnight stay, the staff are brilliant, the food was lovely and the all around ambience was relaxing and beautiful. Loved every minute, the hotel is great and would thoroughly recommend them.

The hotel is very quiet, if thats what you are seeking, you'll be in luck. It has a good location just of the M40 junction, but you would never know it, very handy for the villages and towns within a reasonable distance We knew the hotel well beforehand and have stayed in the past, it's fine, more of a 'wedding type' venue with little to no vibe, but thats fine, lots of parking and EV chargers, good access to Thame, Stockenchurch, Chinnor and Watlington.

Ground floor room perfect as I struggle to walk. It was rather warm when we were staying and I was extremely glad we brought our own fan as no fan/air con in room. Bed a bit hard for me, ended up with sore back. Room clean and bed beautifully made. They forgot about our bathroom on 2nd morning. Breakfast was ok. But get there early as it’s not big area and you could wait ages to get a coffee/tea. Staff very pleasant and polite. At the disabled parking I pointed out that a nasty accident was waiting to happen as there was an unmarked drop at the planters onto a path. Definitely needs to be highlighted. Overall, it was a decent stay. We stayed there as is near our daughters in Chinnor. Will be back.

Room better than last time but not cleaning (hair etc on floor behind bathroom door). We went back as the breakfast was amazing last time but really not very good this time. A coach party had been in before us and everything needed topping up but was not topped up. Hardly any breads or pastries left, no yogurt and coffee machine was not working. Reception very good but waiter at breakfast grumpy. Not sure I would book again.
