Spacious Suite

I was thrilled to stay in a suite that spanned over two floors. It had an incredibly comfortable super king-sized bed, which is what we prefer at home. The spacious layout was a pleasant surprise and made our stay even more relaxing. The bathroom featured a good-sized shower and a larger-than-normal bathtub, enhancing our bathing experience after a long day.

Luxurious Bathing

The bathroom in my suite was a standout feature. It had a lovely deep bathtub, perfect for soaking and unwinding. The shower was spacious and offered great water pressure. The size of the bathroom allowed for comfort while getting ready, which I truly appreciated during my stay. It definitely matched the kind of amenities one would expect from a quality hotel.

Convenient Parking

One of the conveniences I appreciated during my stay was the guest parking. It was easy to access, and the pricing was reasonable, only £4 for 24 hours. This made it stress-free as I didn't have to worry about finding parking in the area. It definitely added to the overall positive experience of my visit.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean with a gigantic bed, but the creaky floorboards and overall shabby condition were disappointments. The service was on the most part really helpful, especially the older staff members, but there were some inconsistencies. The location was great, although I felt I paid a premium for it. The dining experience ranged from poor to very good, with several options available. Overall, the facilities were decent, but there were some maintenance issues that stood out.

I had a mix of experiences at the hotel. On the bright side, I scored an upgrade from a single to a newly refurbished luxury double room with a king-size bed and a landmark view, which was incredible. Unfortunately, the room was shabby and desperately needed renovation; light bulbs needed replacing, the shower wasn't functioning properly, and there was mold in the bathroom. The whole room felt outdated and nothing like the advertised photos.

Rooms

The room I initially received was disappointing - shabby, dated, and in dire need of refurbishment. The upgraded room was a positive surprise with its luxury features.

Service

The service left much to be desired. The staff seemed unapologetic and unhelpful at times, which was disappointing.

Location

The location was central to the town of Thame, a beautiful small historic market town with a great atmosphere. However, the value for money in this area could have been better as there were limitations.

Dining

The dining experience was a bit inconsistent; while breakfast was cooked to order and enjoyable, other meals did not meet expectations in terms of quality for the price paid.

Facilities

The hotel offered a nice range of facilities such as room service, car hire, and tours/ticket assistance, but these did not fully make up for the overall experience.

The hotel offers a funky yet tasteful blend of old and new decor, great for families of four with lovely garden views. However, some maintenance issues like water stains and mould were noticeable. The kippers for breakfast were a delightful touch, adding to the overall charm of the rooms.
