Booked for myself, my partner and out little boy - called on the way to let them know we were running late due to traffic-thought I had wrong number to start with as lady on phone seemed oblivious to what I was talking about ! Once I confirmed I was talking to staff at guest house they were quite abrupt but I thought perhaps it was just they were busy. On arrival at 9pm I was asked for ID which I had by chance as wasn't expecting this, we completed payment straight away then were shown our room. It was nice though very tiny and nowhere for my son to sleep, when we queried this they said although the room was booked for a family, I had not requested sleep arrangements for our child.....where did they expect him to sleep ?? So gone 10pm finally got a cot for him and settled him to sleep. Bathroom was ok but starter in light didn't work so had to use torch from my phone . Breakfast was a let down, we were 1st guests in and there was no cooked food, continental food was very depleted so felt u could only have one croissant and 1 piece of cheese so as to leave some for others - by the time later guests came in, most food had run out. Staff didn't not speak or acknowledge us until I took key back in the morning.... definitely a let down. Considering they claim this hotel is suitable for families, we would not return

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

Situated on a busy road opposite a cemetery. Road noise very intrusive due to very poor double glazing. Paid extra for our own bathroom. The shower door banged into the sink (!) No toilet roll holder. Loo roll left on top of toilet. Only one towel provided for x 2 occupants. Complained to Chinese lady owner who just looked blank ? not understanding/not speaking English. Breakfast consisted of 'plastic' ham, few slices of cheese, mixed salad (!) like WHO eats lettuce at 8am? cheap bread, a few cereals, couple of yogurts, tea and coffee. Breakfast is served 07.30 - 08.30. Worst nights sleep ever staying away from home. So bad we abandoned trip to Blenheim Palace today and came straight home.

I was booked in here for a place just to crash for a night before working away the following day. I should have known what to expect when the taxi driver had never heard of it and we got lost trying to find it. No staff when I arrived so I called the mobile number so I could get into the building. The woman was blunt and told me there were staff on site. I got my key and heading into my room. It was hot ,stuffy, cramped and had a shared bathroom. I went to make a cup of tea to discover no teaspoons and some lumpy milk. I tried to settle into the bed but I have slept in hospital beds that are more comfortable with sheets that are softer! I was awoken at 5 am by slaming doors downstairs and a child screaming for mum to hear a woman shout back ' shush the guests are sleeping'. Gave up with sleep after a further 30 mins a decided to shower, only to find the door to the shared bathroom didn't close properly. This was probly for the best after looking in the shower to find communal loofahs and some green slime around the shower. I headed down for breakfast to find a mouldy muffin, plastic looking ham and a questionable salad. I opted for just tea and toast as it seemed the safest option. Don't stay here, can't even say I got a nights sleep, I just paid £80 to irritate myself.
