Wantage hotels

Pros: Everything, friendly, helpful, clean and comfortable, excellent breakfast, restaurant are is really lovely. We would most definitely recommend the Corncroft and we look forward stopping again.

Cons: There is nothing we didn't like at all.

Pros: Breakfast was fabulous. Hosts were very welcoming.

Cons: There was an empty water bottle between the bed and bedside table.

Pros: Really helpful and friendly owner. Great breakfast!

Pros: Room was slightly cramped, but clean. Staff were welcoming and helpful.

Cons: Free parking was listed, which turned out to be free on-street parking, but only for 2 hours between 8 am - 6pm. So arriving in the early afternoon, meant that the car had to be moved after 2 hours a couple of times, while out and about. Car parks in Witney do offer free parking but maximum 12 hours, so again not what was expected. We had assumed Free Parking meant on the premises. Breakfast was extremely plentiful, but it would have been less wasteful to have known what was available to choose from, rather than having a large plateful of everything on offer, when asking for Full English. A minor if picky point, as it was well cooked and presented but far more than we wanted. When we came to leave, no-one was around, so it seemed odd to be merely leaving the key and disappearing with no communication. Old-fashioned maybe, but would have been nice to say goodbye.

Pros: Richard was very welcoming and couldnt do enough for you.

Cons: Nothing all was brilliant

Pros: I have stayed at this property several times. It is very clean and very comfortable. The breakfast is fabulous

Cons: All perfect

Pros: Warm and cosy rooms.

Cons: Duvet on the adult, single bed could have been much wider and longer. It was more suited to a child’s bed.

Pros: Comfortable rooms, superb food and friendly staff.

Pros: Breakfast was excellent

Cons: The weather!!!

Pros: Very clean and the staff were all really pleasant and helpful. Would not hesitate to stay there again

Cons: Whilst the evening meals were excellent I thought they were just a little bit more expensive than I would have liked

Pros: Perfect stay - combination of idyllic English pub/restaurant with pristine accommodation. Great that a good continental breakfast is included in the £80. Probably not the ideal location if visiting Oxford over a few days as it is over on the Cotswold side of Oxfordshire.

Cons: Nothing - we have stayed before when visiting family in Witney.

Pros: spacious and comfortable family room friendly people great food

Pros: Staff were very friendly, helpful and accommodating as well as really seeming happy to be there! Great to see! The food was well presented and of very good quality. The room was very clean and a good size for us. Nothing else we could hope for really!

Cons: Nothing at all

Pros: Big tv and spacious room

Pros: Very accommodating staff

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Really friendly staff, lots of choice on the menu. Lovely room with amazing bath and comfortable bed.

Cons: An iron in the room would have been a welcome addition

Pros: Bed, bedding & pillows so lovely, great hot water, very warm & cozy. Staff very welcoming, the most amazing breakfast & fabulous evening meal.

Cons: Unfortunately our room had some areas of damp & the bathroom needed some mechanical attention, someone in the room above ours was quite noisy.

Pros: Staff,coffee, lovely room

Cons: The shower pressure wasn't great

Cons: I booked a comfy double as I was advised this was only one of 2 rooms available at the property, this was booked after considering reviews on Tripadvisor & your site. On check-in we were advised that we had been upgraded, a little strange being that the property was full! The lady took full payment & then showed us to our room which at first sight looked ok, I’m guessing that as this room was at the top of the property & up several very steep flights of stairs the persons who had booked this room had complained & been swapped with is. As we did not return to the room until later that evening it was to late then to find anyone to ask to move back to our original booking. At no point did any member of the staffing team as us if we were ok or happy with our stay. The room itself was very dark with minimal lighting, making it difficult to get ready in the morning. The mirror on the dresser had seen better days & there were no plugs in front of the larger mirror, so also impossible to use this did hair, makeup etc. A huge beam running across the floor in front of the bathroom & bed made it difficult to manoeuvre around the room & was quite dangerous. Although I understood all rooms to have been renovated this didn’t appear to be the case for this room, the bathroom was nice but again you couldn’t use the mirror if a shorter person due to the shelf stuck across it!! We missed breakfast on Saturday morning & although we were advised prior to our stay that the kitchen was being refurbished & breakfast would remain unaffected. Again this was ok, although serving watered down juice for breakfast & being told it comes from the tap is poor & an even poorer excuse, for £110 per night I expect fresh juice & locally sourced products, the poached egg & avocado was nice. Would we stay again, no there are to many other great options Burford!!

Pros: Beautiful character property lovely rooms and very very friendly staff

Pros: Friendly and comfortable. Lovely rooms, with that little bit of extra luxury. Will definitely visit again.

Pros: Nice and friendly comfortable bed and good breakfast

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Great location clean and tidy rooms friendly staff - lovely stay

Cons: Decorating at the time of our visit so wet paint with no signs evening dining closed - breakfast whilst what we had was lovely some things they ran out of and other options weren’t kept topped up such as the fruit! They could also do with regulating the heat in the communal areas as it was either very hot or very cold! The rooms were ok as you can manage this yourselves

Pros: Probably one of the best rooms we’ve stayed in a pub, room was decorated beautifully and very comfortable. The staff were very friendly and attentive.

Cons: We loved the room and wasn’t expecting it to be peaceful as most pub rooms have a certain level of noise (which is fine). Our room overlooked the high street, we noticed the secondary glazing wasn’t intact so the sound of traffic passing throughout the night actually sounded like it was in the room with us so we had disturbed sleep unfortunately. We also thought room was expensive, we have paid similar prices for rooms in luxury hotels.

Pros: The hotel was everything we wanted! Central, clean, beautifully refurbished, and really friendly staff. The bar and restaurant were both great and the food was gorgeous. Absolutely perfect. I couldn’t have asked for any more.

Cons: If you are slightly older be careful where your room is. Steps to first floor are fine but second floor is quite hard with luggage.

Pros: Nice location and restaurant lovely staff and dog friendly

Cons: Kept banging my head as the door ways were so small (I’m not tall) noisy shower very poor water pressure in taps and shower

Pros: The location was excellent. The Hotel was comfortable warm and friendly. Meals and service were exceptional. With ample parking as a bonus.

Cons: I can't think

Pros: Very nice suite in a nice hotel, in a lovely location.

Cons: Breakfast seemed a bit confused both mornings, possibly down to staff shortages.

Pros: Lovely old building. Staff very pleasant. Room decent size with large bathroom. Liked the handles on the doors. Beds very comfortable.

Cons: Long wait for cooked breakfast.

Pros: The breakfast was fantastic. All the staff we dealt with were very helpful

Cons: Nothing

Cons: The shower wasn’t very good !

Pros: Hotel itself, location and staff.

Cons: Food was barely warm. For restaurant and reasonably high prices this was very disappointing. Noise from guests in the bar directly under our room prevented us from being able to sleep.

Pros: Good location near the high street. Clean and warm. Great food. Nice Molton Brown products in the bathroom. Excellent service from the manager and general manager.

Cons: Nothing to dislike.

Pros: Room was lovely warm and comfortable considering it was February.

Cons: Food a little on the expensive side.

Pros: Lovely rooms and location

Cons: Only a roll top bath for a couple who shower it was really impractical

Pros: Everything

Cons: Fantastic

Pros: Beautiful, huge bedroom, awesome breakfast

Cons: The rooster waking me up. Not so bad in February but I’d imagine he would be an early starter in the summer ...

Pros: Good breakfast and helpful staff. The location is also good. Comfortable bed. One of the electrical outlets in the bedroom included USB charger sockets which is useful. Didn't try the restaurant in the evening so can't comment on that.

Cons: The car park is a bit of a walk, but that's the problem with the whole of Burford - parking is a problem! The staff are happy to help with bags though. Although the bedroom and bathroom were spacious, the sink in the bathroom was tiny.

Pros: Lovely hotel with an excellent location. Good food, friendly professional staff.

Pros: Brilliant location, just off the main street.Nice open fires and free newspapers in the bar.

Cons: One rasher of bacon on a full english breakfast seemed a bit mean.

Pros: Dinner was amazing. Room was nice.

Cons: 1) The room we stayed in has an issue with the toilet flush which meant it woke me up as it was stuck open trickling water into the cistern. 2) other guests continually left the door open to the street outside our room which meant the hallway/room was cold. Could the owners put a closer on that door?

Pros: Breakfast was good. Manager was understanding of our frustration.

Cons: Room was very tired, damaged and not looked after. Was nothing like the photos online. I paid for a superior room and there was nothing superior about the room.

Pros: We all had a lovely time at Blue Boar and would go again. There was one particular member of staff who stood out for excellent personalised service and who was so kind to an old lady who appeared to be confused about bus times and was wandering in and around the property. The member of staff (and I really wish I picked up her name) made sure that the old lady got safely on the bus. She wasn't a paying guest but was shown the same respect as everyone else. The food was lovely, the rooms were comfortable....and clean. The rooms we had in the main Hotel were great but a lot of stairs so not ideal for those with disabilities. It may be worth checking the room locations if you have a disability or are particularly unfit when you book That said, we had a wonderful family time in Witney with excellent food in the evening (the gentleman who cooked the pizzas from scratch then cooked them in a pizza oven worked like a Trojan all Saturday night) and for a town centre located property was a great find.

Cons: Cost of the wine. We made the mistake of looking up to see if we could get a wine we ordered in a Supermarket as we enjoyed it. It was just shy of £8.00 in Sainsbury's but cost £29.00 each at dinner which was a shocker and whilst we expect a mark up, we felt a little bit cheated by the cost and I know they would have bought the wine for less than £8.00.

Pros: Basic but clean, warm and comfy.

Pros: The breakfast was excellent, and in general the quality of food was superb. I was surprised with the size of the room, which was larger than usual for the UK. Staff were very friendly & courteous.

Cons: A little more wardrobe space would be nice although I used the chest of drawers to the full extent. It would have been nice with a desk & chair to catch up on emails or work on a laptop.

Pros: Fantastic location in the centre of town. Clean and modern with a nice bar.

Cons: The keycard for the late night door didn't work so we were lucky to find a member of staff to let us in.

Pros: Breakfast was very nice, good shower

Cons: The room was very basic, not really worth the money I paid.

Pros: Staff very friendly, great location value for money. Breakfast is lovely but could you make you portion beans a proper mans portion thanks.

Pros: Lovely room and good breakfast. Staff all very friendly. Had a comfortable nights sleep

Cons: It was a shame the restaurant has closed due to unforeseen circumstances as we would have liked to eaten there

Pros: Excellent staff who run the bull !!!

Pros: The room, the quiet, the comfortable bed, the excellent breakfast (even though I only ate it once), the accommodating staff (thank you for my early morning latte on the patio).

Cons: Turning off the patio lights around 11 p.m. (midnight?)..... I couldn't have my late night read outside.... a small thing, but important for me. It would have been good to have a facecloth included with the room's linens.

Pros: Excellent location. Extra large room. Staff excellent.

Cons: Buffet cooked breakfast. Food was cold and overcooked.

Pros: The breakfast was very good with lots of choice.

Cons: Actimel at breakfast was a week out of date!

Pros: Our second stay at the Bull with our dog...we all love it!

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: This is a classic period property, with creaky floorboards, winding staircases and a cosy feel, especially in the upstairs lounge area. It is close to all the main amenities in Burford as it is located on the busy high street. The cereal options at the breakfast buffet are excellent, covering all manner of nuts, seeds, and fruits.

Cons: The restaurant at the Bull is closed until further notice, something which is not advertised on the booking.com listing. It is, however, mentioned in a confirmation email after booking. This isn't a huge problem as there are plenty of excellent alternatives, but some might prefer to eat at a hotel they are staying at. The cooked breakfast is served buffet style and many of the items soon dried out in the hot plate area, meaning that although tasty, it was not as tasty as if it had been cooked to order. Room wise, some of the fittings (light switches, the kettle) though functional were rather basic, and the shower temperature was very difficult to control. Searching online reveals that the hotel is currently up for sale, and I wonder if this has influenced some of the day to day operating decisions.

Pros: Full of character and convenient location

Cons: Cold rooms. Breakfast service was slow despite only 2 tables

Pros: Dinner was excellent. Staff very friendly and helpful. Very welcoming atmosphere. well placed to visit all local attractions.

Pros: We visit the Inn for all seasons regularly, and we would highly recommend it. The staff are incredible (especially Paul and the owner) Everyone is always so welcoming. The rooms are always spotless with excellent facilities, and breakfast is delicious!! We also had a roast dinner on Sunday and it was by far the best we have had! Hats off to the chef!! We will see you again soon. Leigh & Paul

Pros: All good

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Great welcome, very accommodating. Although on business I would defined use for a personal visit.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Good quality ingredients but got the order wrong. Also not having a buffet for continental breakfast is disappointing.

Cons: Stone floors a bit cold as no underfloor heating

Pros: Everyone was charming and helpful. They accommodated all our requests

Pros: QUAINT

Cons: THE BATHROOM RADIATOR WAS STAINED WITH URINE AND HAD STARTED TO RUST ROOM COULD HAVE HAD A THOROUGH DUST

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Beautiful hotel. Lovely room. Great staff. Fantastic live music at dinner. Great breakfast. We loved it!

Cons: Food at dinner slightly disappointing (both had Mac 'n cheese). Portions enormous and needed salad/veg or something.

Pros: Friendly and helpful staff, very accommodating, especially as we took our dog with us. Food was great, breakfast especially with a wide choice. Location was perfect, nice and quiet and near to local attractions and countryside. Bar and restaurant were relaxing places to drink and eat, with open fires and a good atmosphere.

Cons: Room was a bit small for a 'superior' room but met our needs, especially as we had a door to a small private courtyard which would be nice in the summer. Price was a bit steep for winter but the location probably dictates this as it's not any more expensive than other comparable places in the Cotswolds.

Pros: The breakfast was lovely the staff were really friendly and helpful . The room was nice and cosy , clean and had everything there if needed .

Cons: There wasn’t anything what so ever I didn’t like

Pros: Location.

Pros: The lovely village location and splendid grounds, the roaring fires and tasteful country house feel.

Cons: The restaurant was a little disorganised. Four people took our orders and served us and the co-ordination was lacking and the service was therefore slow. Why not allocate given tables to specific waiting staff?

Pros: The hotel grounds and local area

Cons: The fact they have a two tier system where guests staying at the Old Swan get dining reservation preferences and their own roped off lounge area that the Minster guests cannot use

Pros: Character hotel.

Cons: Standard room very small, we stayed in the barn conversion annexe, room was very small with single glazed window which was very noisy.It felt as if we were staying in a beach hut. There was a noise in the pipes which kept us awake most of the night.Also we had to travel to a nearby pub as the restaurant(which is another pub a minute) away was full, priority to guests with bb and e meal.

Pros: We stayed for 2 nights to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The first room was extremely hot, we spoke to reception who offered us another room without hesitation. The restaurant is excellent both for breakfast & dinner. After eating there the first night we definitely wanted to on our second night but forgot to book. So after a day out and about came back to hear it was fully booked being Saturday. However the staff were brilliant and said they would manage to squeeze us in and we weren't disappointed, the steak was perfect along with everything else! Staff very friendly and helpful. Lovely grounds and setting. Will definitely go back.

Pros: I liked the helpful staff in the restaurant who worked extremely hard on the sturday evening of our stay.

Cons: I stayed in room 121 which was awful and i have complained personally to Diane Cornish the sales manager and i have yet to have the courtesy of a reply to my comments.

Pros: Setting and location excellent. Public rooms nice

Cons: Scandinavian type rooms (118) were very very small. Little wardrobe and storage space. Walls were paper thin. We could hear neighbours even when they were whispering and using bathroom! Flight path from nearby RAF base. No double galzing. It was clear the accommodation was geared to single people on conferences/workshops. Massive disappointmant!

Pros: Lovely setting, staff very friendly. Lovely meal.

Cons: There were no biscuits on the hospitality tray.

Pros: Location Staff and service

Cons:

Pros: The reception and cleaning staff were extremely friendly and welcoming The setting is delightful and the food in the restaurant was very good.

Cons: Our bath room was very cold - no apparent heating and interesting though the high ceilings are, there was a draught. This did not spoil our stay but if the weather had been colder it might have done.

Cons:

Pros: Very comfortable room. Good food and breakfast

Pros: the breakfasts are excellent

Cons: everything was just right excellent value for money

Pros: The staff were very friendly, the room was very comfortable and the breakfasts were really nice.

Pros: We only stayed for one night but it was great to get there and park at the hotel, book in dump our bags in the room and have a couple of drinks in the bar. We had a complimentary bottle of wine and fruit basket in our room, we chose to eat in the bar, we could have eaten in the restaurant, the food was gorgeous and the staff very friendly. it really is a beautiful old hotel a good breakfast in the morning. I probably would not have chosen the four poster room if another had been available, just because of the extra expense but on the other hand we do like a room within the hotel rather than in the courtyard of a hotel

Cons: nothing to fault

Pros: Excellent food and very convenient location

Cons: The fire alarn at 2.45am with no guidance or advice from the staff as to the problem

Cons: Shower head needs replacing in Windrush

Pros: The staff were friendly when we arrived. The bed was super comfortable.

Cons: The property itself was okay but our room was screaming for a make over. It looked clean but it’s always hard to tell in a room that needs drastically renovated. The bathroom wasn’t as clean.
