Rooms are lovely, modern and spacious. Very clean and tidy. Staff were very helpful. Breakfast was really nice. Evening menu really good too. Observed a very entitled customer, dealt with so professionally and politely by the gent on reception in the evening. Despite the rudeness directed at him. The bowling was a nice addition. Within 20 mins of clarkson farm and about the same for Bicester village.
