Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The location is superb, right on a main pedestrian road in the heart of the Cotswolds. The rooms were clean and comfortable with a double bed, air conditioning, and I stayed in room 21. The service was top-notch, with room service available and tours/ticket assistance offered. However, the dining options, limited to corn flakes only, were a bit disappointing. The facilities were modern and well-maintained, making for an enjoyable stay.
The hotel is located on a main pedestrian road, a prime spot where you can experience the town center and the bustling market being set up in the square opposite. The area is lovely, especially being in Cotswolds. The hotel offers a great mix of positive elements like the friendly staff and clean rooms, but there are some drawbacks such as the limited dining options and primarily in-bathroom air conditioning.
The hotel is situated in a convenient location near the center of Witney, with easy access to Waitrose Car park by 10 am. The rooms are spacious and equipped with air conditioning primarily in the bathroom, featuring cozy double beds for a restful sleep. The dining experience includes freshly baked cookies, adding a nice touch to the stay. While the service is attentive and offers room service and tours/ticket assistance, the paid airport shuttle may incur additional expenses. Overall, a comfortable stay with friendly service in a central location.
