Traditional hotel in hundreds of years old building but maintained pretty well. The room, in particular the bed, was very comfortable and had a very spacious bathroom with a super shower. Breakfast was freshly cooked and tasty. We stayed here to support a visit to Blenheim Palace which is right next door.

The hotel was in a convenient location and easy parking. However, the hotel was very tired looking and in need of a refurb. The room and hotel was in need of a good spring clean. Definitely not good value for money.
