    All of the staff were very welcoming and attentive at all times. We took a lovely walk along the river and were lucky enough to see several canoe boats training. It is a short walk to the lock, which is conveniently placed next to the Kings Arms. Only a 5 minute walk away. If you do think of eating there, do make sure and book early they rarely have room for walk ins. Make sure and enjoy the open steak sandwich at the hotel bar. We wished we were staying longer so that we could order it again. Great place to relax and unwind. If you are interested in the history of the place, make sure and talk to the manager. He was very informed and interesting.

    The parking spaces.

    It’s beautiful and just far enough away from all the tourism and business in the towns nearby.

    The evening menu was quite pricey, so we opted to eat at a nearby pub, which was a shame as we’d have liked to have stayed at the hotel for dinner.

    Beautiful building, very welcoming staff, clean spacious rooms, fabulous breakfast, warm swimming pool.

    A towel rail near the wash basin would be useful. Towels were stored so high up we almost needed a ladder to reach them!

    Receptionist extremely helpful. Really comfortable room.

    Very little. Can be expensive in peak season.

    I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel! It's in a great location - close enough to the city to enter easily, far enough into the countryside for tranquility. The food is excellent, from the breakfasts to bar food, to restaurant.

    The ants on the tables outside Napiers. A delivery truck in few when eating our dinner. No extras for the hot chocolate, it is advertised but they didn't have any.

    The bar staff were a little less 'on it'. For example, my partner ordered two martinis and then had to wait ages for them and carry them the length of the bar/hall herself. It would've been nice if they'd brought them over. Bar food not the same standard as the restaurant but I guess that is to be expected. Still good just not 'wow'.

    We had a wonderful stay. Staff were lovely (Ashika was super helpful with travel tips into Oxford and just a generally good host). Everyone in reception and the restaurant were fab. The food in the restaurant was incredible - faultless. The beds were incredibly comfortable. Would (and will) return in a heartbeat.
