Fantastic Stay

attentive staff large bed quality linens breakfast options
The staff was attentive and met my requests. The bed was large. It had quality linens. The style of the home seemed serene. Breakfast was individually prepared. Fruit and cereal was also available.
I only had one small glass of orange juice and no offer for more, disappointing.

Free parking is available . It provides security on the premises. Guests can securely park cars, bicycles, and motorcycles on the hotel, an advantage.
Location

The location allows quick access to nearby attractions. Oxford is easily reachable by bus. A park and ride is just a short drive away, at 15 minutes. This made transportation convenient.
Rooms
