"Lovely stay, perfect location! The motel and diner were both great and felt like a special night away on our way to an event without breaking the bank. The Dyson and GHDs in the room were a snazzy edition. Only downside was no kettle in the room which meant having to dash outside the room in your pyjamas for your morning cuppa."

"Staff were lovely and helpful. The bar area was always clean and the service was always good. A recent change of company policy meant anyone booking through an external site (hotels.com, expedia etc) are now told to pay £25 a day use the gym and pool facilities. The facilities are good, but not sure its worth £25 a day. I have stayed at this hotel 3 times now and it has always been a pleasant trip. I have gone for business as a lot of my work is in Oxford and surrounding areas. The breakfast is ok, not much better than that but the food from the bar area is really good in an evening. Unfortunately, there isn't much in the immediate surrounding area, so if you cant drive/struggle on foot then this may not be so useful to you. The golf course always seems to be in lovely condition, although I have not played it."
