Oxford Belfry Hotel & Spa

This hotel is a good choice because we had been to Blenheim Palace for the day. We stayed two nights so opted for a junior sweet. Room 342, the room on the whole was fine. The room is a parcula shape, it's rectangular but with two box shapes in it. I guess these were the neighbours bathrooms no doubt. Unfortunately there were cobwebs in the top corners above the window, a huge spider above the bathroom door, a splatted bug on the bathroom ceiling and the bath panel has bad water damage. Non of these game changing but a little disappointed really for the money. The restaurant was amazing, the food, drink and staff were spot on. And a big shout out to Lilly our waitress. Very smart and professional and only 18 years old. She is also the food and drink supervisor. She will go fair in this business I'm sure. Because we had a two day stay we decided to use the spa. I opted for a pedicure and my kind lady went for a swim. The pool was a good temperature. But the pool area was dirty, the large air vent cover was thick with dust, the floor had a lot of long hair on it and the concrete pool edge has green algae on it.

Greta little place in the countryside conveniently situated just off the M40, that worked really well for meeting family from the north when I had flown in to London. Slightly dated but looks like they’re renovating in stages. Nice and peaceful environment with easy parking and great food. Breakfast was nice and staff were very attentive, especially Tom on reception. Thanks for a lovely stay

Issues throughout our stay from start to finish, and staff very friendly but less than actively helpful for the most part. My parents in law paid for early check in to their room so we could change before of a family wedding in the area, only to be put in a room with no air conditioning, no sofa bed, and no walk in shower - all things they had deliberately paid extra for. Sorting this out was a painfully slow process that ended in my sister in law taking that room and they would be moved when we got back from the wedding in the evening. We then got back in the evening to be put into our rooms- my parents in law's being wrong and them having to move AGAIN at 1am, and my partner and i's bathroom smelling strongly of a urinal, and room not having AC or a fridge. We spoke to reception in the morning as we were by that point in the night sick of walking to and from reception (which is extremely complicated due to maze-like hallways and about 3 signs in the whole building, most of which point the wrong way), and the receptionist basically just said OK and waved us along. I will say the hotel is convenient location-wise and the breakfast was very good, but we would NOT stay here again.
