The location is wonderful. The grounds are beautiful and quiet. The cottage is extremely well equipped. The hosts are quick to respond. I have stayed here a few times now and will stay here again.
I used to live in Witney. Came back to London, where I was born & raised, 15 years ago but my father & children (err, all mid-late 30's) live in that area, so I visit regularly. Summer, The Fleece for lunch outside overlooking the Green. Taxi to Hailey since The Bird in Hand is special. There is the blanket museum because it's a bit of a give away that Witney has a wool exchange, a mill and a history! Plenty of walks & fresh air. Almost forgot, Roman ruins https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-57510142

Witney is a great little town.
Witney is a great little town. Parking in West Oxon is free in all council car parks - a rarity these days. So many places to visit - Cotswold Wildlife Park & Gardens, Cogges Farm Museum, Blenheim Palace... it goes on. Many cafes, bars, pubs and restaurants in town. Independent shops in Witney and nearby villages/towns. It's just lovely.

Witney is a lovely little town, although the roads were very busy and noisy until you reached the quieter, traffic-restricted area in the centre. It has a wide range of places to eat and drink and a good selection of shops - chain and independent. We were very disappointed with the attitude of staff at The Plough, as we were refused a menu, even though others were ordering and eating, our drinks order wasn't completed fully and I was accused of being rude when I asked for both matters to be resolved. Needless to say, we didn't stay. San Marzano, just further down the High Street, was the complete opposite - food and service exemplary.

Witney was a stop to our air show destination. Pub, great.
Witney was a stop to our air show destination. Pub, great. Parking, not so. Restaurant menu over pretentious.
Loved the welcome. Unfortunately lights within room not working/ useless, air .com unit didn't respond. No instructions for coffee machine. A lot of style over substance.

Great place.
Great place. Very Central, close to Oxford, not too far from Stratford, and so on. Friendly, town. Could be a bit more friendly, can't say it's exactly Wholesome and Quint. But it is a nice old town with a good vibe of its own.

The centre of Witney is easy and pleasant to walk around, with a variety of shops, restaurants and cafes all easily accessible. There are frequent buses to Oxford (for colleges, museums, main railway connections, etc) and Woodstock (for Blenheim Palace). There is also a regular bus service across the Cotswolds to Cheltenham. Road access to Cotswold villages, walks and scenery is very good.
Let me start by saying this was our final stay, after a 15 night vacation in England and Wales.
Saving the best for last is so true in our case.
As soon as we checked in, we were greeted warmly and were so pleased to see the beautiful restaurant and bar. Where we had 2 wonderful meals.
Our room did not disappoint. It was so welcoming and spotless, and we were able to just relax and enjoy.
Good, central location in the pleasant market town of Witney. The Old Court Hotel is an old, characterful building - you can imagine the stage coaches coming in to the yard. The window from our room looked out over the yard, and the rooftops of the nearby cottages. Very evocative. Comfy beds, warm, clean and quiet. Great night´s sleep. Good selection of cooked breakfast, and good coffee.
Staff were friendly & helpful. Restaurant was exceptionally good. We had dinner and everyone was very happy with all of their choices. Breakfast was equally good with an extensive menu suitable for all dietary needs.
We loved the animal shape made with towels, ours was a crocodile holding the tv remote when we checked into our room which had air conditioning.
The location was beautiful, situated on the banks of the river Thames. Good walks from the hotel. It was easy to get to some of the attractions, ie: Cotswolds Wildlife Park, Millets Falconry Centre, Bourton-on-the-water. The breakfast was very good with a lot of choice. We had dinner there three of the nights and again the food and service was excellent.
This is a great place to stay - so close to Blenheim, Oxford and the Cotswolds. We based ourselves here for a weekend exploring the local area and the Cotswolds. The rooms are immaculate and have everything you need, including a shower I didn’t want to get out of and gorgeous fluffy towels. Super friendly and helpful staff.
Excellent hotel, very nice staff and really good food. The rooms were to a good standard and the staff were very conscious of measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Would certainly recommend the hotel and restaurant, including the breakfast.
Location. Excellent place for exploring the Cotswolds, Witney and Oxford. Leafield church is also worth visiting. Lots of space in the room. Host very friendly and helpful e.g. booking a table at the local pub (very good food!)
I liked the decorating-very cute. I liked the off street parking space. pillows were comfortable.kitchen stocked with plates. apartment was clean and tidy. couch comfortable and seating area really nice. wifi excellent.
The hotel had lots of character. The bedding, towels and bathroom were clean. The beds were very comfy. The staff were very helpful and attentive, the breakfast was lovely and the location was excellent
Beautiful garden setting, excellent location to explore the area, the owner/host is lovely and she makes you feel right at home. Plus she’s provides a delicious cooked to order breakfast!
Breakfast was excellent, with a great choice. Location is very good, with only short walk to Witney Town Centre, and ideally placed for exploring the Cotswolds and Oxford.
Great location for the centre of Witney. 2min walk to the High Street. Lots of shops and restaurants, pubs & coffee shops. Cinema and shopping area is nearby.
I like that the hotel had a swimming pool, the rooms were clean and everything worked ok. I liked the self serve breakfast and the bar area was comfortable.
Lovely spacious room, comfy big bed, easy access, host was just lovely!
For our night out in Witney this place was perfect for us. Clean and comfortable!
