    The mirrors were very dirty had black marks on. The bed was very old and had all marks all over it.

    Everything was great. Loved the location and very nice staff.

    Rooms fun - padded red velvet and faux leather walls which was interesting but dark as lights more decorative than functional. No tea and coffee making in the room and soundproofing not great despite all the padding.

    Quirky. Good friendly staff Liked the champagne on checking in. Bed comfy. Great shower with skylight and large copper bath.

    We liked it all but the room as quirky/eclectic as it was ..was in need of an update and not practical. 1 double plug socket, sink was odd and had to empty the bowl into a stone sink unit and water hole in cabinet was tired and weird. Bath water come out of ceiling and there were stains around the material padded ceiling from this. Infinity bath but would have taken hours to fill and so much water and hard to get in/out as no handle and taps were on window ledge so had to lean right over to operate. Separate shower good though It didn't ruin our stay but could be improved. Bed was very comfortable but very dark for makeup and I'm not sure an open bathroom/room with the toilet is ideal

    The staff/rean were amazing, friendly and welcoming and very accomodationg throughout our stay Thai restaurant food amazing Love the outside areas, and walk to farm shop. It's an experience and great to see

    Expensive.... Room was nice. But for the price slightly disappointing..... Very Clean & can't complain re quality but we both found for the cost slightly disappointing compared to other rooms shown in photos on website & Booking.com. Room was very dark without much lighting & whilst we accept they trying to get "sexy" ambience it was so dark could find/lost our stuff alot of the time...... Copper bathtub was "nice" but thought for the price of Room would get jacuzzi type bath in room. Water in bathtub tricled out & took ages to fill up.6 Very nice place but for the price of Room & restaurant expected more compared to other hotels we have stayed at offering the same type quality.

    Staff very friendly

    The room was very dark and the ceilings very low so we had to crouch, no mirror in the main bedroom or anywhere to sit to do hair and makeup so I had to sit in the floor. The waiter at breakfast was very rude.

    Quirky and the first impressions of the room was that it was lovely! The receptionist was very friendly and helpful

    staying 2 nights was too much as it is so isolated and expensive. restaurant too crammed in - felt claustrophobic and awful heavy leather table clothes made it feel like you were trapped. At 375 per night , I'm sorry but a proper breakfast should be included not the mediocre continental... The bar was far too small - ok its listed, but on the Saturday night it was full of empties - not a good impressions. The room had a smell of drains, the doors was difficult to lock - no drawers? an iron and board just shoved into the wardrobe. Service in the restaurant was terribly slow and our a service charge of 13.5% - a joke! Some (not all) of the staff were less than friendly.

    Quirky Friendly at reception

    Bit tired in places. Bathroom was not good in our room. Cold and wet. Didn’t quite understand the bar absolutely laden with dirty glasses. Glass washer broken, Or part of the decor? Staff did their job but not overly attentive. However, the theme nights look amazing so would like to visit again to see if we are wrong and it was just a bad day.

    Chosen for location and interested in seeing the hotel. Bar was quirky and fun.

    Room was quite tired, lights didn’t work properly, nor did air con. Had to sleep with the terrace area door open. Lovely idea of infinity bath but caused the room to smell like drains/ stagnant water. Breakfast was disappointing for the amount of money paid per night.

    Lovely location and food was nice. Staff friendly

    Dinning room tatty with wall paper hanging off, and not comfortable for eating due to seating arrangements. Breakfast!!! would expect a cooked breakfast for the price paid. No extras in the room, not even a biscuit. Need at least one bright light in the room for getting ready, beautiful lighting but to dull.

    The service from the staff was very good, and they made us feel welcomed, especially the very tall gentleman who served us our meal. The taxi service from our room and back was perfect.

    For the amount of money paid, there wasn't even a small fridge in the room for drinks. Also the lighting in the room was so dim (I understand it's to set the mood etc) but an option to increase the lighting to get ready etc would have been great! Also bar area very small as we weren't dining. So we went into Oxford city centre instead for drinks

    Very clean and lovely staff!

    There is no tea and coffee facilities in your accommodation, you can order room service at a charge of £5.50. But this service doesn’t start until after 10am so if your an early riser in the morning or just like a cuppa to start your day you can’t have one.

    It was very quirky and finished to a high standard .
