Liked: Staff & service
Was an ok find. Expedia states you can check in at 1pm, but it's 2pm. The room was well equipped with a kettle microwave and fridge. The bath mat could do with a wash, loo could have done with an extra flush, before we got there but it's not too much of an issue. The staff were friendly and JRR Tolkien's grave is in the cemetery opposite!

The family suite was dirty, broken run down room. We never saw a staff member only spoke on the phone. Totally overpriced and felt unsafe. The conditions were so bad we did not even stay and made other arrangements.

Avoid not as described

Avoid this place at all costs. When we arrived the reception was empty which was expected as we had been trying to call in the week to find out the latest check in time and the phone was not answered. There was a mobile number stuck to the door and all the room keys laid out on a desk. Upon phoning the number I was informed they never receive info from hotels.Com and I will need to phone hotels.Com and get them to call the accommodation. Instead I agreed to send them a copy of my reservation as this was not our responsibility. We booked a room with a private bathroom but were informed this was not available, we were given a room with Burger King bags full of tea and a half eaten packet of biscuits in the drawer where you would put your clothes. The worst thing however was the breakfast which was supposed to be a full English at the time of booking and one of the main reasons we booked the hotel in the first place. At breakfast we were informed they have never offered this and instead were greeted with mouldy fruit, tired salad and tesco value ham, also there wasn't even enough fruit juice for us to each have a glass, so we had a coffee and then went to get breakfast from a local petrol station instead. I would also like to note this is outside the Oxford ring road and is a 15 minute drive into the city centre. Also the luxury toiletries described when booking turned out to be a large mostly empty cheap bottle of shower gel so not even any shampoo. Avoid at all costs.

Turned up at the property expecting a single room with bathroom The owner was out shopping and had to wait over 1/2 hour for her to return only to be told she doesnt have a contract with expedia and had no room for me to stay. She did try once to ring them to no avail. Terrible treatment when I had travelled over 3 hours. No offer of any room elsewhere was suggested. By this time it was after 10 pm and I had to try and find another place to stay Would definately not book with expedia again
