"Basic and very expensive for what it was "

"I wouldn’t really say I’m a fussy person, I can put up with a lot and I’m quite resilient but my ‘stay’ at The Jersey Arms hotel was a very good way to force some impromptu character development and really make me contemplate a lot of my life choices. Being honest the receptionist was a sweetheart and did the best that they could, but the hotel was a different story entirely. From the moment I walked into my room the very strong potent smell of damp and mould hit me like a wall, before realising that there was thick, fuzzy mould growing in the bottom of the wardrobe, this was also accompanied by paint falling off the walls and dirty sheets. I can confidently say a hotel has never made me cry before but this one most certainly did. The receptionist was kind enough to move my room, which was of equal poor form as the first one. The same horrible damp/mould smell, dirty sheets and plaster and all sorts hanging off the wall. Whilst I was issued a full refund by the hotel an Expedia very promptly as I type this review I just want to preface, this review is in by no way a petty complaint. I would just like to warn others to think twice about booking this hotel, as the cheap price point does in no way justify the condition nor experience of this hotel. "

"The Crewe Arms was, sadly, very disappointing. Extremely expensive for what was offered and, whilst not an issue for me, no breakfast. My accommodation was barely better than grubby and the whole premises including my room smelt of deep fat frying. Very disappointed."

"The free Parking at the hotel was simple to register for after arrival. The room was spacious and the property quiet and intimate with just a handful of rooms. The staff are lovely, the housekeeping team were so chatty and welcoming too. The bathroom was also modern, spacious and having a bath in a hotel room at this price point is nowadays sadly a rare find, so fantastic to see. Pillows were a little flat for my liking, but sure there could have been other options if I'd have asked the staff. Only observation was, you can hear the bowling ally below when laid in bed, but this stops mid to late evening, so wont go on late to upset your sleep. The property is also super close to the M40 and just 10 mins from Bicester Village too if you fancy just basing yourself there for some retail therapy one day. Nice property and maintained to a high standard. The Baton restaurant was also well lit and cosy at night, despite so much glass. Would stay again if in the area.."

"Clean everywhere. Breakfast good. Attentive and friendly landlady. Lovely little village and countryside which will be even better in summer."

"Great location for an event at The Great Barn"

"Lovely hut, with a peaceful and cosy atmosphere. We stayed here for a couple of nights for the end part of our road trip, whilst visiting around cities and towns, it was great, it was nice and secluded too. "

"Super cute, like being in your own romantic little bubble in the countryside. We came to watch a friend do a parachute jump at the airfield for charity. It was the perfect place to stay for a night or two. Loved the BBQ, the view through the windows and the way the space was designed. So compact and yet everything was so considered and well designed.
