Food in the Garden

From classic club sandwiches to our signature hot honey flatbreads, our food tastes even better al fresco. Tuck into a stacked blue cheese Dirty Burger, comforting ham, egg, and chips, or a creamy carbonara to perfectly hit the spot.

Prefer something lighter? Our delightfully fresh Bicester Salads include a hearty Superfood option and a classic Caesar. Add fries, or even our indulgent Brondie (a Brownie and Blondie duo) to make your meal extra special.

  Superb Staff In a recent visit we unfortunately had an emergency, and I can not speak highly enough of how the staff responded. Everyone was excellent and supportive, absolutely brilliant. Facilities and location were great also!

  Simply the best Spa trip I’ve ever been on The hotel was amazing . The staff were very friendly and efficient. Our rooms were air conditioned and in this heatwave were a godsend. The beds were so very comfortable. I even had a little decoration to celebrate my birthday. We came for the spa and treatments as a 60th birthday treat for myself. I felt so pampered. I felt treated as an individual, being asked about my needs, as in the pressure of the massage, type of skin etc. Then there was the pool, and all the other things available. Jacuzzi, sauna, foot spas and so on I would go on, but I would 100% recommend you go there to experience it for yourself. We are going back next year, but next time for longer. We want to try out more treatments

  Great room and great food We just needed an overnight stay on our way from South to North and is was a great half way stop off for the night. We usual go to independent small hotels, but as this was just one night, we though a big conference type hotel would be all we needed. Obviously the parking is very easy for a property of this sort and check in was easy too, although we were early, so we went off to the bar and to soak up the atmosphere. When we got to our room it was clean and tidy, very spacious and so so happy to see two lounge chairs, not sure why most places only give you one, be we love it when there's two as we are too old to sit on the bed when we want to just chill. We also had a coffee table which was great. Our room did not have a view and was quite dark, I've not idea if this was on purpose, but we were soooo grateful as it was a very hot day and the room was cool, so we were very happy. We did not go into the restaurant but chose to eat in the bar, so glad we did, as it was a tapas type menu, so we were able to just order some bits and the quality of what we got was excellent. Breakfast was buffet style and had everything you might need, we filled up as we had a long journey ahead of us and that breakfast saw us through to the evening. We would absolutely stay here again.

  Girlie weekend spa break What a fab weekend! Easy to get to. Parking plentiful. Hotel staff a delight. Spa staff just as lovely. Everyone sooo accommodating, they even made us a pina colada which wasn’t on their cocktail list! The spa was relaxing, the treatments were delicious, the pool was quiet. The air con rooms were clean. If I could have changed anything, it would have been bigger cups in the bedroom and a mini fridge. But my world certainly didn’t end because I didn’t have them. Will make this a yearly get together with my girlies.

  Lovely spa and stay I was a bit worried given the mixed reviews, however we found the staff very courteous and welcoming, the facilities were great, and the room was lovely - even if it could have done with a little TLC. The food there was lovely both dinner and breakfast. Would definitely stay again.

  Ideally located for an Oxfordshire short break Lovely hotel in beautiful grounds, with good pool facilities and excellent dining, though breakfast was a limited range. Rooms clean and spacious, but tired decor. A room safe would be useful.

  Lovely hotel with lots of facilities We really loved the location of this hotel , easy to get to Bicester village in the car and Oxford using the park and ride which we drove to. The hotel has so much to do to keep everyone entertained , gym , golf , paddle smash , top tracer , obstacle course , table tennis , pool , spa and a lovely terrace to sit outside to eat and drink or relax We used the bar restaurant which was really nice food Rooms are a little dated but all clean and in good working order The only thing I would say is the staff didn’t explain to us about everything that’s in the hotel grounds , we were confused what we could use as part of the hotel and what was a separate company ? We would of liked to sit in the spa garden but the reception said it was an extra £20 per person The Gym and spa in the hotel were both good Breakfast was good and was always topped up ready for buffet service Overall the hotel was very good and we would stay again
