The hotel is very quiet, if thats what you are seeking, you'll be in luck. It has a good location just of the M40 junction, but you would never know it, very handy for the villages and towns within a reasonable distance We knew the hotel well beforehand and have stayed in the past, it's fine, more of a 'wedding type' venue with little to no vibe, but thats fine, lots of parking and EV chargers, good access to Thame, Stockenchurch, Chinnor and Watlington.

Room with a view
We had a room with a view to the Chilterns. Make sure you ask for this when booking, as the alternative is a room with a view to the car park. This is our second time in this hotel, and staff are very attentive.

Decent enough
Comfortable stay but lacked attention to detail. Just one towel between two of us, tv remote missing a battery cover, stuck together with selotape, shower spraying straight into bathroom, only one pillow each. Admittedly we didn't ask to have any of these remedied, which I'm sure they would have, but left a poor first impression.

Great overnight stay, the staff are brilliant, the food was lovely and the all around ambience was relaxing and beautiful. Loved every minute, the hotel is great and would thoroughly recommend them. Book with them directly rather than a third party the staff are very welcoming and friendly and will help you with anything that you need.

Dirty room and awful food.
Stayed as a family of 3 after a very long flight back to Heathrow. Staff were friendly enough and the location is easy to get to but the room was dirty with so much dust and cobwebs everywhere. The shower leaked all over the floor. The in room phone was barely audible when talking on. Bedside lamp broken. Ordered room service which took nearly an hour to arrive, when it did the order was wrong and the food was barely edible. Cod was full of bones and totally over cooked, beef brisket was actually inedible, could barely cut it, let alone eat it, was more like the beef had just been microwaved. Hard to believe this is a 4 star hotel, would definitely not recommend staying here.

Bed bugs
The room smelt stale as did the bed sheets, pillows etc. Myself and my wife had bites on our bodies which must have come from the bed. The bathroom was poor witha loose toliet seat and was overall grubby and not very good at all.
