Our group of eight had an incredible day at the hotel, enjoying the gym, pool, and a private dinner to celebrate a milestone birthday. From check-in to check-out, we felt like royalty and had a memorable experience. However, the breakfast left some room for improvement with limited options, although the dinner was fantastic. Overall, the hotel provided a wonderful setting for our celebration despite a few hiccups during breakfast.

Our stay at The Oxfordshire had its ups and downs. While the room was clean and comfy, we faced some challenges during our Boxing Day lunch, which was disappointing due to lack of food variety and unsatisfactory service. The spa facilities left much to be desired with cold showers and broken jacuzzi grills. Despite these issues, we appreciated the attentive staff and the beautiful location, making it a mixed experience overall.
