“My stay revealed a place where the staff truly make an effort, their warmth palpable from arrival to departure. The rooms, many recently updated, are spacious and comfortable, and the breakfast offerings, especially the sausages, were a standout. Its proximity to Blenheim Palace and transport links into Oxford makes it a rather sensible base.”
