Great communication before arrival. Spacious & very comfortable twin room. Perfect location; we were able to park the car but walk into the centre of the city in about 20 minutes.

Surprisingly roomy and modern. Garden was lovely for birdwatching. Breakfast room and in room treats were very generous, and the staff were all friendly and helpful. Only about 20-25 minute walk to the city center, and a few pubs and stores also within a couple of blocks. Short stay so we didn’t use the busses but seemed very convenient .

An excellent overnight stay
The staff were great, gave me a parking permit and keys way before official check in time. The room was warm, clean and had lots of amenities and plenty of storage. Breakfast was fine and plentiful. Definitely stay again.

Oxford hotel.
Great sized room and very clean. Attentive staff. Good location with parking, walkable to city centre. Only downside was a very mediocre breakfast (eg no bacon, poor quality sausages). Otherwise excellent.
