A bit of a find
A one night stop to visit a relation. Great food although a bit more choice, ie fruit, on the breakfast menu would have been nice. Comfortable, quiet room and having our dog with us was not an issue. Would stay again.

Great hotel with a very good restaurant.
The Lion is an excellent place to stay - great food and really nice rooms. The rooms have a really good level of equipment with a coffee maker etc. The restaurant was very good, really nice food and good service. Breakfast was very good - but not great for business travellers, as it doesn't start until 8am. Bringing this forward to 7.30am would make all the difference (but maybe not to those going to Bicester Village!) I would also really recommend adding a couple of electric car chargers - it would be easy to do just inside the gate, and would make a huge difference - it is one of the things I look for in all hotels nowadays.
