Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Lovely quiet location in old Headington. Easy to get into Oxford city centre on the buses. Room very comfortable. The staff were all very friendly and helpful.
Negative: I made several enquiries about the availability of parking, none of which were answered. In the end I came by train, so it was no longer relevant, but the only reply I got to a direct email was "we are looking forward to seeing you", which didn't answer my question. I can't comment on the breakfast as I didn't have any. The evening meal was very good, although I don't like food served on a slate "platter", a bit gimmicky and unnecessary.
Summary: Very good, but expensive.
