A relaxing break

the hotel was quite calming. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was good with an excellent en suite shower.
we got a bit lost with finding the place using the sat nav but go there in the end

Short break to meet up with friends

Enjoyed our two night stay at this hotel. Covid precautions were still in place but were managed well. Because of the restrictions the menu in the restaurant was more limited but there was enough choice for our two nights stay. Staff were extremely nice and very welcoming and helpful.

Lovely stay

We had a lovely 2 night stay in a family room. It was comfortable, but sadly lacked furniture to unpack into. The hotel garden and setting is lovely, and the staff were helpful and friendly. The restaurant was super, with a good evening menu, and great breakfast buffet. Lots of parking. The folly/ sculpture park is about 5- 10 minutes walk, through a gate in the hotel garden, and has great views. Overall, a lovely hotel.

Sudbury house hotel

Overall enjoyed our stay the one thing that we thought could be improved is the dinner menu we found the choice very limited and not enough down to earth food

Pleasant break in great location for Cotswold sights

On arrival it was confirmed that my request for walk in shower had been satisfied.
The staffing levels in restaurant seemed low. A tasty steak meal on our first night was spoiled by excessive salt on fries (why do chefs feel this is necessary, salt on tables allow guests to add if desired?). When asked if everything was ok with meal I did mention the salty fries but got no response. The third nights meal we were told by waitress the Soup of the Day was cream of mushroom and chose this for our starter. Green soup arrived and I questioned the colour , to which the waitress said that she thought it unusual but had been assured by Chef that it was mushroom. Upon tasting it was stringy and certainly not mushroom. We left it and told the waitress the reason why when she came to clear. When she went back to the kitchen she was then told by a different Chef that it was Seasonal Vegetable. The said items were removed from the bill. The restaurant seemed to be running on a skeleton staff, perhaps not all staff behind the scenes adequately trained !
In trying times for staffing levels the staff we saw worked hard to make for a pleasant stay. The Afternoon Tea included in our deal was exceptional.

Well needed few days away

Hotel was well organised and beautifully clean.  COVID regulation# meant you had to wear a mask when walking around but this didn t feel as weird as I expected ,
We were warned that breakfast would be continental and served in the room but due to lower numbers in the hotel they had started to serve full breakfast again in the restaurant .Menu at night was just about enough choice to eat there both nights ( not very vegetarian friendly though) Staff were all very helpful

Faringdon itself was very quiet - pubs not even open on Mondays and Tuesdays ,but is within easy driving distance of the Cotswolds villages

Overnight stay with luxury extras

We visited the hotel as it was located close to Bicester shopping village (it s a little too far for my liking under 20 mins would be better) the hotel is running well during the Covid secure constraints. We had booked a twin as it was a very late booking and the hotel managed to switch us to a double room which we were very grateful for! Prosecco and chocolates were a lovely treat in the room. We had a few drinks in the bar and the bar manager who was serving both there and in the dining room was warm and friendly and kept my wife topped up with wine. The meal was nice but the staff were under pressure which did show with delays and not the ease and warmth seen by other staff. Breakfast had a completely different feel, a warm welcome! special birthday treat I got extra sausage and bacon and a Happy birthday from the Chef which was nice. The manager was excellent warm and friendly and knowledgeable.thank you
