Nice hotel and had a lovely meal in restaurant. It was a bit noisy due to private party but that’s our issue due to going to sleep early! Good breakfast too.

Extremely disappointed with this hotel. The heating system was not working properly, our room was cold the entire time we stayed there. We were given a fanheater for our room but it was not really ideal given the low temperatures we had during the weekend. I had a treatment booked at the spa, again staff were using a fanheater to warm the room as it was really cold. I expected a variety of food items for breakfast but this wasn't the case, the breakfast range was very limited-no fresh fruits...

Lovely hotel in a quiet location but loads of things to do nearby from Oxford to Bicester Village and the Cotswolds.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The quality of the food was the standout with great menu, quality and presentation.
Would highly recommend

This stay was just for overnight. The room was clean and very comfortable, and there was an available parking place in the courtyard.
The Villiers staff couldn't have been kinder. Holly from Reception took me to my room and explained the necessary details required for my stay.
At breakfast Jackie insisted that I have everything brought to me as she had spotted my walking difficulties. Because all other guests finished in the breakfast room I had the bonus of interesting conversation with her...

I've stayed at Ramada many times on work trips to Oxford. I advise choosing a room on the upper floor because on the ground floor you may hear stomping around late at night in the room overhead. There are also humming machines in a courtyard outside the ground floor windows - maybe that's the air heating system. In the room itself there's everything you need: clean shower room, white towels, free wifi, bedside lights, plug sockets, kettle with cups and tea bags etc. The bad reviews seem to...

Just back from a few days staying at the De Vere, Sandford on Thames. Excellent hotel, comfy deluxe double, delicious breakfast with great choice of food. Helpful staff on reception suggested taking the bus, from just outside the hotel, in to Oxford. 15 mins and we were in the heart of the city. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Anniversary weekend. Very nice hotel with character and good service - just what we were looking for. The room was super, the hotel serve fantastic afternoon tea and we loved the quiet library and the little sun-trap on the library terrace. Would have liked fluffy bathrobes, but can't think of anything else to improve. Be warned: - The bed was hard (which we like/prefer) but large and comfortable. The climb to our room was via small twisty stairs with a very low door. So if you have any physical...
