Drive directly from London Airport to the hotel. The hotel is located in a residential area. The appearance is a submit-detached house. When we arrived, there was a large truck of renovation garbage at the doorway of the yard, which looked a bit messy. Entering the room was still very tidy. It should have just been renovated and looked relatively new and clean. The house is of course an old house with a certain history. The heating and sockets are a bit old. The sockets are arranged near the baseboards of the house, which makes charging awkward. Now everyone has so many electronic devices, it is recommended that the store provide more charging sockets. We booked a family room. The room is large enough. On the ground floor, there is a floor-to-ceiling window leading to the back yard. In summer, there should be a small inner yard with a table for leisure, but we arrived in winter and the yard was not decorated. Breakfast was arranged in a small restaurant in the sun room. The food is relatively rich and the environment is warm. You can communicate with other travelers. The manager and waiter are also very enthusiastic and can do their best to help the guests. The transportation is not bad. We basically walk to the central area, which takes about 20 to 25 minutes. The advantage is that you don’t have to find a place to park, and you can also see the small colleges on both sides along the way. There are not many places to eat around, but there is a small bar about 15 minutes' walk away, which has 1 Michelin star. It is a little expensive, but the food is delicious and the atmosphere is good. Students in the school are discussing business plans, which is a very university atmosphere. You can park on the roadside in front of the hotel, which is convenient. The manager let us park in the small parking lot of the hotel, which makes us feel at home. The small hotel is free and warm, and you can enter and exit with a password at night. Overall, I am quite satisfied. The next two pictures are of the small bar, and the last picture is Zixia on the road at dusk.
Myself and 2 young children stayed for one night whilst visiting friends nearby.
The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Reception team especially kind to my boys, and giving them activity packs was a nice touch.
We visited the pool, which was clean. Whilst not big, it was empty so didn’t have to worry about my boys bothering anyone. Clean changing rooms.
We ordered dinner up to the room and must say the children’s menu cost was really reasonable for really well portioned food.
Rooms were lovely and clean. Great that the chrome cast actually worked in the room unlike some other hotels.
Breakfast had a great spread for all tastes.
Only downside is having to pay for parking.
On the whole, great hotel and staff and would stay again.
Lovely hotel in Banbury town with lots of original period features, very comfortable and close to many restaurant options. Also a great base to explore the Cotswolds. The entrance to the car park is extremely narrow so be careful when entering and leaving!
The rooms are spacious, well serviced, clean with great views (depending on where you are located of course)
I loved the balcony space ,table and 2 wicker chairs and was overlooking the golf course with midday to evening sunshine - perfect.
Breakfast had great choices and was kept continually stocked up. Staff were helpful and efficient.
Check in was smooth.
The South African Handyman (whose name I didn't get) deserves a special mention for being great at his job and very personable.
I had a lava shell massage in the Spa - wonderful - again didn't get the person's name. Maybe name badges or encourage staff to introduce themselves might be a good idea
It's a great location. 30 mins walk to town centre - good footpath, easy drive.
Definitely recommend. Had a great stay.
Was a solo traveller and felt very safe.
Just a 3-minute walk from the iconic Bodleian Library and 15 minutes from Christ Church College, this place is incredibly quiet, ensuring a great night's sleep.
The hotel is on a bus route do is easy to get to from the train station and the centre of Oxford.
The rooms are very small but you have all you need, a clean bed, a very comfortable mattress, WiFi, TV and bath towels.
The got water to our shower was extremely hot and we couldn't make it cooler, but the receptionist will look into that.
The room was very clean apart from where one of the beds touches the wall, there is a lot of dust on the floor under there. But the bathroom was very clean.
Booked for two nights while visiting Oxford, Woodstock and Blenheim Palace.
The accommodation and location fitted the bill perfectly. Although out of Oxford we had good good routes to all our destinations and the Park and Rides were beneficial.
Accommodation as expected - good standard. Dined there one evening - food good and well presented.
All staff we encountered were: pleasant, friendly and helpful.
Recommended - would book again.
What a beautiful hotel. The hotel was full of character which we adored. The rooms were a delight, lovely decor and exceptionally clean. We hadn’t booked for dinner but the manager was very accommodating and got us in the restaurant. The evening meal was delicious and the breakfast included in our stay was also delicious. We would definitely return. A much needed child free night! Thank you
Nestled in the suburbs, the hotel offers a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere, truly feeling like a tranquil escape. We really appreciated having a Chinese-speaking staff member at the front desk, which made us feel incredibly welcome. The bed in our room felt like two twin beds joined together, and it was certainly spacious enough. The sofa in the room can be converted into a sofa bed (just a heads-up: not all rooms have these, so be sure to confirm upon check-in).
With a stay at The Punch Bowl in Woodstock, you'll be within a 15-minute drive of University of Oxford and Blenheim Palace. This inn is 8.8 mi (14.2 km) from River Thames and 9.1 mi (14.7 km) from Christ Church College.
Take in the views from a terrace and make use of amenities such as complimentary wireless internet access and a communal living room.
At The Punch Bowl, enjoy a satisfying meal at the restaurant. Quench your thirst with your favorite drink at the bar/lounge. Breakfast is available for a fee.
Free self parking is available onsite.
Make yourself at home in one of the 10 guestrooms.

KKelly MakuyanaI loved the place, looks clean. I didn’t eat there was in a rush to drive back but it was great.
KKar Yee AvaLove the supermarket right next to the hotel and there is public bus outside the hotel to go to city center. Typical English breakfast and the food choice is the same every day.
There is a retail park opposite the hotel but only have 4-5 shops like Decathlon, Sport Direct & B&Q etc.

LLilit AdamianIt is truly a fairy-tale hotel — the rooms feel as if they come straight out of a classic English story. Everything is neat, clean, and thoughtfully designed, making the stay very comfortable.
The location is excellent, perfect for exploring Oxford on foot. The lobby area is especially beautiful — elegant, cozy, and welcoming, setting the tone from the moment you arrive.
Overall, the experience was extremely pleasant. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking to experience the true charm and atmosphere of Oxford.
GGuest UserBrilliant stay, room upgraded and breakfast was included which I didn’t realise.
Helpful staff, lovely clean hotel.
Bus stop 5 minutes walk away, buses are regular to the city centre (approx 15 minutes away).

BBecezsiLovely hotel in a beautiful location! The riverside setting makes for a lovely view! We stayed in a spacious suite and were accommodated with an extra bed with no problem at all. Decor is a little dated and the accommodation could have been a little cleaner however, the staff were wonderful and the breakfast was great!
We would stay here again, thank you for a lovely stay!
GGuest UserClean and tidy! The front desk staff were all very friendly and helpful! The breakfast selection was rich and varied! Convenient transportation! Quiet despite being in a bustling area!
GGuest UserWe have visited Sunbury Hotel a few times now , this time we were disturbed by person or persons at 02.47am and also experienced a lot of noise transmitted from above, both of which were a first for us and certainly surprised us. The cleaning service over the three nights amounted to pulling up the bed covers which is a definite lowering of previous standards. The complimentary bottles of water and snack biscuits were not refreshed at all, and the room itself now has two large areas of damp showing in the corners which should have been attended to and at least kept clean.
The hotel was busy during the weekend but the Tuesday am breakfast was attended service rather than the buffet which was great as the food was freshly prepared and served to us. A warning if you have a pet it's £20 per night now and segregation in the bar area for breakfast which is fine except for the walk through with your serving from the restaurant area before it gets cold.
The grounds are superb and the outside patio are excellent, plenty of car parking. It would be interesting to see if management comment.
