Easy to find and a good location as it’s near not far from M40 or to Bicester Village and train station ( the latter being an approx 10 minute drive). The staff were nice and the room was spacious and clean. The bathroom was nice although the shower heads shot out water in random directions which was a bit annoying. Bit of descaling would sort that out easily. There was plenty of parking and the accommodation was across a courtyard from the pub.i would imagine a nice spot in the summer. Food was good and the pub had a friendly welcoming atmosphere. I would definitely stay here again and thank you for a good stay.

Welcoming staff, food excellent standard and quality. Rooms were spacious & very well appointed. The only downside was the sofa bed was very uncomfortable.
