Noisiest place I’ve ever stayed in, not sure what the noise was but it was loud and constant all night. Seriously needs to be addressed

great location if visiting the Williams F1 centre, polite staff, building is tired but that did not ruin my stay

Checked in on a Monday around 5pm and shown to the room. Noticed that all the tables were setup for food with cutlery etc. Went down to the bar around 6:30 to be told that the restaurant was closed and only food available was coffee and cake. Ended up fetching a take away and eating that in the bar. On the plus side cider was only £3 a pint!! No mattress protectors on the bed.

The Volunteer Nice friendly check in. Only 1 x large and small towel for 2 people. No shower soap at all. In a pub so nobody on site but contact numbers on door if anyone is needed. I think overpriced for this property.

The place itself isn't bad. No dining on the night I stayed but they were more than happy to allow me to order food in. Bar was nice and well priced.

Left after just 1 hour I booked a 'deluxe room' it was tiny and shoddy. There was damage to the plasterwork, a rusty radiator with the paint peeling and the shower/toilet was tiny. I decided to check out within an hour even though it meant I lost my money as it was non-refundable.

Pleasant stay but tired room A friendly welcome was provided at this Oxfordshire pub, I was checked in and shown up a back staircase to my room. The pub itself is small with a beer garden at the side. It’s very close to a main road and also a main line railway. The room (room 4) was a reasonable size, containing a double bed, a desk and a wardrobe with iron etc. Tea and coffee was provided. The bathroom was small and housed a toilet, sink and shower. The condition of the room was quite tired, the carpet had seen better days and the walls needed painting. The bed itself was very comfortable although there was no beside table, which would’ve been a cheap and convenient improvement. The noise from the road continued in to the early hours and meant you couldn’t leave the window open, the trains were less intrusive, although very audible from the room. Parking was ok, 3 spaces at the front of the hotel with maybe another 10 shared with the neighbouring car wash business.
